How To Set Up an Employment Agency

 

Nowadays, few large companies resort to their selection process, which involves the displacement of professionals from the Human Resources department to recruiting new talents. It is quite common for companies to hire a simple and quick service provision from an employment agency, which is nothing more than a human resources consultancy specializing in selecting and recruiting labor, both for the occupation of influential positions and for temporary positions.

Employment agencies are famous because they provide a great relationship and optimization of time for both employee and employer. The employer does not need to have a department to make the selection and can only receive candidates already pre-selected by the agency.

The job selection process via the agency is practical for the contracting party and for the candidate who does not need to be "knocking from door to door" to leave his resume.

This is an idea that is being more and more diffused in the business world, and whoever is thinking of making an employment agency their source of income is making a great choice. But, interestingly, the the entrepreneur knows the area to set up a company that can offer quality services.

 

Competition is strong, but not in all cities. As much as there are employment agencies in operation, there are cities where the number of companies looking to provide services in this area is infinitely greater than the offer, being a good option to offer the service.

Virtual employment agencies are the most common but do not dispense or change anything in the physical, as also have a team to interview candidates in their own space.

These are the most sought after because they already do the full service; that is, they forward the most suitable candidate(s) to fill the vacancy filled through selection. It is a way for the client to pay for practicality and agility in the selection without making any effort.

 

Documentation Required to Set Up an Employment Agency

Here, the documents needed to open this type of the project are similar to those of a commercial point, with the differential that the company offers services.

 

It is necessary to register the company at the Commercial Registry of your city, at the Internal Revenue Service, to obtain the CNPJ, at the State Finance Department, at the City Hall, at Caixa Economical Federal through the Social Connectivity system - INSS/FGTS and in the Military Fire Department.

 

All these fees will cost an average of $2 thousand. The entire process can be done with an accountant, a professional responsible for ensuring that the procedures proceed quickly and correctly.

 

Structure Needed to Set Up an Employment Agency

The structure of your employment agency will depend on the size of the business. Suppose the entrepreneur chooses to start acting alone, using his network of contacts. In that case, a property measuring 28 square meters is enough, giving space for a small room for meetings and dynamics, chairs at the reception, and an office.

 

There is also a need for a space reserved for bathrooms (at least two, one for the public and one for employees), a room for the agency's administrative office, no access to the public, and a small pantry.

 

The assembly of the structure involves furniture such as a school desk or similar, sofa or chairs in the waiting room, table and chair for reception, administrative room, and individual interview room, file cabinets, computers with Internet and an internal network for archiving information, printer, telephone, air conditioning, and water cooler for candidates and employees.

This entire structure can involve an initial investment of around R$ 50 thousand or more, varying according to the size of the agency and the location chosen. The cost of hiring personnel or monthly expenses such as energy, water, telephone, and Internet are not added here.

 

Staff Of Your Employment Agency

There is always a fixed staff that must be maintained and respected, but there may be more hires as clients grow. Normally, an employment agency involves hiring attendants for the public. This administrator may be the entrepreneur himself, one or more psychologists for interviews, an employee in the general services area, and a person in charge of the administrative-financial area.

 

How Does an Employment Agency Work

In theory, the process of running an employment agency is quite simple. The agency receives CVs for open positions and the creation of a database. Clients open vacancies and request candidates to be sent.

The agency carries out the first selection process, which is carried out through curriculum analysis, the second through group dynamics, and the third through a personal interview with those in charge who are psychologists or human resources professionals?

Selection can occur in fewer or more steps; it will vary according to the agency's plan for each company.

Ideally, the agency has already done the entire process and sends the candidate ready to fill the open position, but the client may want to do the final interview, so don't worry. Some companies prefer to give the final opinion on the candidate and choose who will fill the vacancy.
