The job market has become very competitive and every time a vacancy announcement is made, it is met with hundreds of applications. Sifting through these applicants to find an appropriate candidate would take up precious time. Then that applicant would have to be interviewed multiple times and background checks would have to be done.

Apart from time, a lot of money and energy is spent in finding a suitable employee. This is where a Recruitment company steps in. It is a company that helps people find employment and helps employers find suitable employees by linking the two.

Many of these companies specifically deal with people in a particular profession or business such as bookkeeping, medical, clerical, or technical fields. Some recruitment companies help in recruiting executive-level personnel for companies in different industries for mid to upper-level vacancies.

Since there are different hiring options like permanent, full-time positions, or contract positions, different recruitment companies tend to specialize in one or more jobs. These companies operate by charging the candidates some amount for finding them an appropriate job and they also charge a fee from the companies for providing them with the required workforce.

However sometimes, especially in the case of executive-level personnel, the person being hired does not pay but the company seeking the employee pays the recruitment company.

These companies shortlist applicants and then interview them. They also do background checks on the candidates and make their profiles. When a company approaches them for employees, they pick people with relevant profiles and link the candidate and the company.

Some companies do not charge the candidate anything until they find them a job. Then the candidate has to pay a certain percentage of his/her pay to the company for a certain predefined period of time.

The employers benefit by saving them time and money required to search through hundreds of applications and finding appropriate applicants who would then be interviewed and vetted, requiring even more time and effort in the process.
