Exclusivity with Agencies - Why?

Why use a recruiter Exclusively?

As a Client you will be getting our full commitment to filling your vacant role. You may think that you’ll get more effort from each recruiter when the role is in competition, but what really happens is a short burst of activity, and then interest wanes as agencies wait for responses as the client waits upon CVs from each of the appointed recruiters.
Some use delaying tactics which hold things up and then the recruiters realise the client is not committed, and then go and put their energy into clients who will work with them as partners.
The responsibility for successfully filling the vacancy is now shifted solely to Purely PA. If the job is given to one recruiter, retained or exclusive, we own the problem. The client can focus on their own business knowing that Purely PA are totally accountable.
As our client you’ll be taking the focus off speed and putting it back on quality. Why would you want your crucial hiring decision based on who can get candidates to you first? . A first through the door mentality ensues and can only be detrimental as you’ll see below….
Exclusivity allows the Purely PA to bring all our resources to bear in the talent search. Not just a quick data-base search, but a thorough, detailed talent search including networks, communities and social media.
There is time for the Purely PA to do a full and comprehensive database search. You get the best, not the best we saw that week or who came back soonest on the phone.
It allows your consultant at Purely PA to comb their networks, online resources, social media networks and tap in to the passive talent market.
Purely PA can then guarantee that we can fully qualify the Talent in terms of start date and salary, once again saving the you much time and frustration.
You will save time and effort by dealing with only one competent recruiter. No multiple agency briefings and multiple contacts to deal with. This will also mean fewer interviews saving you time and money.
Your confidentiality is preserved as the role is not being touted around town byor six recruiters, each speaking to 9 or 10 candidates about the role.
Your brand and image is improved by using one recruiter, because your vacancy is not devalued in the eyes of talent, who will be suspicious if the job is represented by multiple recruiters.
At Purely PA one of our main core values is honesty. We appreciate that you have deadlines to work to when hiring and that one of your concerns may be putting all your eggs in one basket. It normally takes us 3-4 days from taking the brief to short-listing for you, depending on the complexity of the role. If during this short period of time we feel that we cannot present suitable candidates, then we are happy to advise you to extend your search to other agencies. However due to our years of experience and vast networks, this is very rare.
