One of today's greatest business challenges is finding and hiring great employees. We are currently experiencing a candidate's market – there are more available positions than there are suitable candidates.  

Over the past few years, many businesses have experienced the shortage of qualified candidates on the job market. More so, hiring managers may not have the time or resources to find the best fit for the role, which can have a devastating impact on their bottom line.  

The talent acquisition team at Legacy Bowes can help take the guesswork out of hiring. Read on to discover why companies trust Legacy Bowes when it comes to sourcing and identifying top talent, and why you should consider using a recruitment firm when hiring.

1. We do the work for you  

Hiring new employees can be time consuming and frustrating, especially when you must do so on top of performing other urgent tasks. Even if your company has a dedicated human resources manager, their attention may be better focused on retaining the talent you have.

By hiring a recruitment firm, such as Legacy Bowes, we take on the work of screening the applicants who don’t meet your criteria, and bring forward only the candidates who merit your attention. Our dedicated Talent Acquisition team sources and identifies the top talent in the marketplace and in our own extensive internal database. We evaluate candidates based on criteria you provide and present the most promising options to you. We even assist in the development and negotiation of the offer of employment once you have made your selection.

We do not consider the job done until we have reached the best possible outcome for you.
