Abstract:
The article explores the factors affecting the efficiency of recruitment agencies amid the transformation of Ukraine’s modern labor market. The relevance of the topic is substantiated by the shortage of skilled personnel, rising competition, the digitization of business processes, and changes in management approaches in the field of human resource management. The aim of the study is to systematize the external and internal factors that determine the performance of recruitment structures, as well as to identify their interrelations and impact on the quality of service provision. The study employs methods of theoretical generalization, analysis and synthesis, a system approach, and comparative analysis of scientific publications by both domestic and foreign authors. A classification of factors influencing the efficiency of recruitment agencies is proposed, divided into external (labor market conditions, level of competition, legislative regulation, technological changes) and internal factors (professionalism of recruiters, technological support, organization of recruitment processes, HR management system, agency reputation and brand, communication policy). It has been shown that the efficiency of recruitment agencies is shaped by the coordinated interaction of these factors. Special attention is given to the role of digitalization and the implementation of artificial intelligence tools, which enhance operational productivity, shorten the time to fill vacancies, and improve the quality of personnel selection. At the same time, the need to combine technological solutions with recruiters’ professional expertise is emphasized. The importance of a recruitment agency’s brand and reputation as strategic intangible assets, which directly affect candidates’ and clients’ trust, the intensity of engagement with them, and overall performance indicators, is substantiated. It has been found that information transparency and active communication in the digital environment enhance the positive impact of reputational capital on organizational performance. The practical value of the results lies in the ability to use the proposed systematization of factors to develop strategies for improving the competitiveness and resilience of recruitment agencies. The findings can be applied in the process of enhancing organizational procedures, personnel management, and shaping the reputational policy of recruitment organizations.

Keywords: brand, personnel selection, efficiency, recruiting, recruitment agencies, influencing factors.
