Hiring and recruitment are some of the most important aspects of growing a business. As a hiring manager, you’ve experienced the ups and downs of the hiring process and getting the right candidates on your team. Whether this is your first hire or your hundredth, hiring can get complicated. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to make hiring less complicated? Why not use a recruiting firm? Maybe you’ve thought about using a recruiting firm in the past but aren’t convinced it’s the best option for you. These are five reasons why you should use a recruiting firm:
- Passive candidates
70% of the global workforce are passive candidates. They aren’t actively looking for a new job and are often the best talent in the market. As a hiring manager, it’s hard to go searching for passive candidates and the majority of resumes you receive are from active candidates. Recruiting firms specialize in head hunting; in other words, they look for the best talent whether they are active candidates or passive ones. A recruiting firm will attract even the most passive candidates and sell your job opportunity to them, meaning you’re always getting the top candidates.
2. 100% focused on hiring
Apart from hiring, you have campaigns to strategize, budgets to prepare, teams to manage, and other duties. You don’t have time to do it all. A recruiting firm is 100% focused on searching for and qualifying the best candidates. You pass off the bulk of the work to recruiters and all you have to do is conduct the interviews and make the final decision.
3. Deep networks
Recruiting firms, especially those that have been in the industry for decades, have deep networks and connections. They have placed thousands of candidates and talked to countless more.
4. High-quality candidates
It can be frustrating to create a great job ad and only receive resumes for candidates that are under qualified. The benefit of having a recruiting firm on your side is that they pre-qualify the candidates based on your specifications before even presenting the candidate to you. You only see the cream of the crop.
5. Your success is their success
Recruiting firms only get paid when you hire your ideal candidate. Good recruiters don’t waste time showing that they are busy, they will send qualified candidates for you to review. The best recruiting firms won’t just send you 20 candidates and hope that one sticks. They have proven processes to vet out the best 3-4 candidates that will be an ideal fit for your company.
In conclusion, a recruiting firm can be a great asset to your company. They can dedicate all their resources to ensure you get the best candidates on your team. If you have more questions, please contact us.
