[Team Synerion](https://blog.synerion.com/author/team-synerion) Jul 29, 2016 9:00:00 AM ![industry-car-factory-car-door.jpg](https://blog.synerion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/industry-car-factory-car-door.jpg?width=375&name=industry-car-factory-car-door.jpg) If you are hiring for a new position, you might be wondering whether it might be better to pass off this task to specialists rather than post a job and spend hours sifting through resumes. The fees for recruiting can be expensive, around 20% of the annual salary, so the nature of the position might justify not using one. However, there are upsides, especially if you are experiencing a high rate of employee turnover. Here are 4 reasons why you should consider working with a recruiting firm. **They can bring you quality new hires that are already trained** Because recruiting agencies often have a large database of prospective workers, they can provide candidates with experience and who are ready to hit the ground running for a variety of tasks. This is the perfect antidote if you are having problems with employee turnover, which can potentially impact your business much more than the fees related to a recruiting firm. **They can draw on a deep pool of talent** There are many active job seekers who work with recruiting agencies to help find them a new position. But did you know that passive candidates also seek recruiting agencies as well? This helps them keep up to date on any potential opportunities elsewhere. Working with an agency will give you access to a deeper well of talent than may have otherwise been available if you simply made a traditional job posting. **You can get staff for short period of time** If you foresee a large project on the horizon that will require a lot of staff hours for a short period of time or if you have a busy season that need temporary workers, recruiting firms are the perfect solution. You can keep your core operations running as usual and use temporary workers to fill in the gaps. Because they are already trained, they can hit the ground running and provide similar level of service to existing staff. This can also be useful for reducing overtime expenses related to your business. **Their candidates are less likely to leave unexpectedly** Unexpected turnover can throw a wrench into your business plans. Recruiting firms have more time to source candidates and make sure they are taking a job that suits their interests and goals. In addition, since they do not to want to damage their relationship with their recruiting firm, they are less likely to leave unexpectedly. ## Read On ### [Strategies to Help You Manage Remote Workers Remote work is a growing option for many organizations as they seek to hire someone with the right...](https://blog.synerion.com/strategies-to-help-you-manage-remote-workers) ### [How Courier Companies can Benefit from Workforce Management Software Whether it's the excitement of the holiday season or the doldrums of the summer, it's always...](https://blog.synerion.com/how-courier-companies-can-benefit-from-workforce-management-software) ### [4 Ways to Reduce Absenteeism](https://blog.synerion.com/4-ways-to-reduce-absenteeism) ![Synerion](https://blog.synerion.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/Synerion_April2020/images/footer-logo-300x111.png) Synerion is an award winning leader in cloud workforce management software with over 30 years of experience, 5,000,000 users, and 7,000 installations globally.
