Abstract
There has been an increase in the number of recruitment agencies
in Ghana over the years. The aim of these recruitment agencies is to
create the perfect fit between companies and individuals looking for job
opportunities. This service is how ever rendered by Human Resource
Management (HRM) department in the companies.
The company has the option of choosing between the two methods
when recruiting: using the services of recruitment agencies or maintain
their recruitment activities in-house.
The research investigates the viability of recruitment agencies in
Ghana to establish how efficient and effective their services rendered are.
Through exploratory research, the recruitment requirements of companies
in Ghana Club 100 (2011) and the factors that influence the choice of
method adopted were established.
The research discovered that, majority of companies in the sample
use the in-house recruitment method mainly because it satisfies the
recruitment requirement of the companies.
It is recommended that the recruitment agencies concentrate on
the factors that mostly influence the decision made by companies when
choosing a recruitment method to adopt. The companies in Ghana Club
100 (2011) were advised to try the services of the recruitment agencies
and determine the gap they could fill in their company to contribute to its
success.
