I have just started up a recruitment agency in New Zealand. I am trying to find out a list of general forms I will need to cover my bases when it comes to the recruitment process. Does anyone know what exact forms I should have? Also, any information on what systems to use or what you have found works for you would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Caleb,
It seems that you are inquiring about country-specific forms [New Zealand]. I suggest sending a PM to 'Aussiejohn', a Senior member and Moderator of this forum. He is based in Australia and should be able to assist you better than others of us who are not based in your part of the world.
However, if you need any suggestions or assistance regarding the operational aspects of your new business, you will find many members who can help you out.
All the best.

Thank you for your reply. I am initially after a general understanding of the forms needed for the recruitment process, and then will alter them for the NZ market. Also, in regards to operational aspects, I could definitely use some guidance. I have set up a basic website and started work on my database of candidates. Currently, I am using Excel to keep costs low and to determine the specific functionality we need. I have spoken to a few recruitment professionals who mentioned they have a flexible pricing structure depending on the company.
With my model, I'm looking at recruiting self-employed contractors (personal trainers) into gyms. What pricing structures would you suggest would work? Currently, I am using a percentage-based one with reference to management roles, but for contractors, I am considering a weekly fee for the trainer to be placed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Caleb,
Greetings and Best Wishes for your New Venture,
The general trend here in India for charging your customers for providing candidates who get selected is to charge 8.33% of the CTC (Cost To Company) offered by the customer to the new recruit, which works out to about 1 month's salary. However, if such a selected recruit referred by the Placement Agency leaves employment within 3 months, the Placement Agency needs to provide a replacement acceptable to the hiring Company free of charge.
From my personal experience, many fledgling Placement Agencies just grab Resumes from Job Portals and forward them for evaluation by their Customer (Hiring Company), in which case I believe that their charging a hefty 8.33% fee is unreasonable because there is no value addition by them in this process.
I haven't understood exactly what you mean by "forms." In our case, we have a system wherein, irrespective of the source of the Candidate, from our independent database or through referrals, after shortlisting the candidates for Interviews, prior to the actual interview, we make them respond to a Questionnaire which has 3 portions:
1. Personal Information of the Candidate
2. Questions to judge his/her aptitude
3. Technical Questions related to the Job/Position for which he/she is to be interviewed.
If you need more information from a person who has her own Placement Agency, please let me know your email ID, which I will forward to her so that you can communicate independently with each other.
Have a successful start ...raj
