Review of applicant information

The employment agency can retain the contact and qualification details of applicants who have failed to secure employment in their preferred field. These applicants may have exceptional skills that would make them excel in another area which is not their first interest. The agency will then be able to recommend these applicants to other employers looking for these very skills.

Polite rejection

Rather than send rejection mail directly to unsuccessful employees, the agency can arrange with the employer to handle this correspondence and dispatch in convenient times when the bad news isn't likely to hurt them. Additionally, the agency may be allowed to re-word this mail with the purpose of maintaining a good public image of the employer.

Applicant history

The employment agency can cooperate closely with the employer in the interview where the agency retains the runners-ups' contacts and special notes about their abilities. Such records may prove useful at a later date when another employer looks for workers in a similar field. This will also avail the agency with a ready record of applicants who have failed severally in interviews. As such, they may later opt to emit these names from recommendation lists offered to recruiters. The agency can also avail these records to open scrutiny of employers who at a later date may tell at an instant that the applicant has applied with them before
