Recruitment agencies are external firms that find suitable candidates for employers. They are tasked by employers to find candidates for vacant positions within their organisations to save time and money and access the extended candidate net that a direct advert and company network cannot reach. VANRATH and other recruitment agencies are needed because hiring employees can take a significant amount of time. Hiring the right person is important, and with today's competitive job market, an employer can look through hundreds of applications to find a suitable candidate to interview.

The time and cost efficiencies mean that the employer can select from a handful of suitable candidates, giving them the freedom to focus on their own business priorities.
