A recruitment company, also referred to as an employment agency, is an organization that matches employers to employees & employees to employers.

The UK was the first to set up such an organization in London in 1871. This was followed by Australia’s Commonwealth Employment Service in 1946 & the Workforce Investment Act in the United States of America in 1998. Thereafter, numerous private recruitment companies or agencies came into being & this practice is still encouraged in almost all parts of the world even today.


A recruitment agency looks at the applications & profiles & shortlists the ones that meet the employer’s requirements. After that they go on to analyzing the profiles individually so as to assess the skill sets possessed by each of the applicants. The agency ensures that the employer receives only the best & most suitable profiles for his requirements. The employer may then choose to interview the individuals before finally selecting who he wants to hire for his company.
