Strategy | How to get optimal results from your agencies and preferred suppliers

Many in-house teams have their recruitment services pretty sewn up, managing the entire process internally.

Others call on the use of agencies and preferred suppliers list (PSL), maybe when in-house recruitment teams are under time pressure or when looking for a niche skill-set that requires specialised knowledge.

Some have one agency or preferred supplier, some have many, depending on job function, territory and the volume of recruitment. Working with agencies and preferred suppliers should not detract from your core in-house hiring; instead it should complement it.
