2. It facilitates contact with applicants because issues pertaining to employment can be cleared through one central location

3. It helps operating managers to concentrate on their operating responsibilities

4. It can provide better selection because selection is done by trained professionals

5. The applicant is better assured of consideration for a greater variety of jobs
