There are many reasons why a company would hire consultants:

1. Access to a wider network of candidates

2. Many candidates are more comfortable dealing with intermediary consultants rather than directly with the companies as they perceive they will be more valued this way. Also the candidates would trust the consultants are looking out for their interests

3. Depending on the strength of company employer brand, it may attract better quality candidates through a reputable recruitment consultant than on it's own. The consultant is better able to sell the company to the candidate, leveraging on the trust and reputation it has built over time.

4. The recruitment consultant employees are generally much more commercially motivated than the recruitment staff of the company, which results most times in better quality service and more effective delivery.

5. It is generally more cost-effective to outsource several aspects of the recruitment process to consultants who are able to leverage on economy of scale.
