Angela Masters of the Institute of Recruitment Professionals said that employers have to be as efficient as possible when taking on new staff.
She pointed out that selection procedures are becoming increasingly tough, as more rules and regulations are applied to the process.
'This is a good thing and is an opportunity for recruitment professionals to highlight the added value that we provide on a daily basis by putting the right candidates forward in the first place,' the expert commented.
Ms Masters also explained that recruitment professionals are skilled at analysing a candidate's CV to find out how well they will do in a role and are trained not to judge an applicant's suitability on their appearance.
Recent Recruitment and Employment Confederation research found that most employers are happy with the recruitment agency they are currently using.
