đź‘‹ Hi there,
Welcome to the 34th edition of the Reczee Newsletter! 🎉
Ever partnered with an agency that promised you the moon but vanished right after sending a few irrelevant profiles? We’ve all been there.
This week, we’re talking about how to actually evaluate a recruitment agency, what to check, what to question, and what to absolutely avoid.

How to Evaluate a Recruitment Agency
Picking the right agency can save you time, money, and headaches. Here’s what really matters:
💰 Costs that make sense – Agencies usually charge 8–20% of a candidate’s salary. Make sure it fits your budget.
🎯 Proven experience – Check if they’ve successfully filled roles like yours. Past placements speak louder than any pitch deck.
🔎 Smart sourcing – Some agencies rely on existing databases (fast but a bit stale), others hunt fresh talent (slower but higher quality). Know what fits your hiring pace.
🧠Screening that works – Keyword matching isn’t enough. Ask how they evaluate skills, culture, and fit.
📤 Easy candidate sharing – Tools like Reczee ATS let agencies upload candidates directly, track feedback, and coordinate interviews without endless emails.
The right agency isn’t just a vendor, it’s a hiring partner.
