Sourcing top talent in tech, transformation and beyond, is no easy feat. From making your role attractive in market, through to placing job ads and sifting through hundreds of resumes, it’s a high-effort, time-consuming task. If you want to get time back to focus on doing what you do best, it may be time to employ the services of a tech recruitment agency – but what exactly are the benefits of an agency, and why should you consider using one? We dive into it.

Why use a tech recruitment agency?

From saving you time through to finding you hidden talent, here are the benefits you can expect when using a dedicated recruiter:

1. Access to top talent pools

Tech recruitment agencies have wide networks of top candidates to tap into and can source you the best of the best in tech to meet your hiring needs. Whether it’s a top-tier technical architect, or a stellar software developer, they can find and place exactly who you need at speed.

2. Finding candidates with niche skillsets

Dedicated tech recruitment agencies can help you source candidates with niche skillsets. From blockchain to AI, a tech recruiter has the technical knowledge to find the right candidates with the skillsets you’re seeking. Maybe you’re in search of a cybersecurity specialist skilled in cloud security to lock down your systems, or a data analyst with automation competencies to drive efficiencies when analysing data stores. Whatever it may be, tech recruiters can use their tech expertise alongside their extensive recruitment knowledge, to find the professionals you need.

3. Hiring expertise

Recruitment agencies specialised in tech will know what it takes to source top tech talent. They’ll understand candidate drivers, know where top jobseekers can be found, and what great tech applicants look like.

4. Exclusive market intel

Working with jobseekers and employers every day of the week, tech recruitment agencies have in-depth knowledge of the ins and outs of the market. Engaging a tech recruitment agency will ensure you have access to exclusive tech market intel that you can’t find elsewhere. Plus, acting as an extension of your business, they will be a strategic partner to guide you through the latest hiring market trends, and will ensure you’re well equipped to make the best decisions when it comes to hiring.

5. Time savings

A recruitment agency will do the heavy lifting for you. From reviewing CVs through to screening candidates and presenting you with the best pick of the bunch, you can save time and effort in the hiring process, and get it back to focus on your most pressing tasks.

6. Access to hidden talent

Sometimes the best tech talent isn’t actively looking. Dedicated recruiters are skilled in headhunting, and can help you find the hidden gems who aren’t currently on the market, significantly widening your talent pool and helping you make a hiring splash.

7. Global reach

Tech recruitment agencies often operate across multiple regions, meaning they can source exactly who you need, exactly where you need them. If you’re seeking a Java developer in Brisbane and a data analyst in Auckland, recruitment agencies with a national or global presence have the people power and relationships to find the candidates you need. Plus, with remote work breaking down the barriers of where professionals need to be located, they can tap into their extensive talent pools across borders, to find exactly who you need.

8. A faster hiring process

Working with a recruitment agency can speed up your hiring process. An agency will look after all the admin work that goes into sourcing new talent – from writing job ads, to reviewing CVs, setting up interviews, and running reference checks, they’ll look after all the hiring details so you don’t have to. Plus, with years of experience, they can quickly pick out the candidates who will be the right fit for your team, and present only the front-runners to you for consideration – reducing your time to fill.

9. A partner to your business

A tech recruitment agency will act as a partner to your business, becoming your go-to for all your hiring needs. Plus, with a long-term partnership with your company, they’ll understand the ins and outs of your business and culture, and can source the best candidates for your needs – those who not only have the right skills and experience, but are also the right team fit.
