Bypassing the Frustrating Recruiting Bottlenecks


Bypassing the Frustrating Recruiting Bottlenecks

These days many companies are expected to maintain productivity and performance while operating with leaner teams and even leaner budgets. This can make recruiting a challenge, especially when you must pull time and resources away to sort through candidates, interview and hire.

Although many organizations could use recruiting firms for hiring new staff, there seems to be some curious hesitation. Maybe they suppose it's too expensive, or perhaps they aren't sure how an agency can benefit them. The reality is, using a third-party recruiting firm makes the most sense when you need to save time and money, and here’s why:

Although an internal supervisor might be capable of scouring for candidates, when are they supposed to find the time for that when they have their own job to do? Some companies have an internal HR and/or recruiting team that “handles” the recruiting and hiring, but let’s face it, they take FOREVER… and the quality of the candidates is often not very impressive. Why? Well, what’s the incentive to “hunt” for candidates? Internal teams get paid regardless of whether or not they make a placement and often, there are corporate bottle-neck processes that ensure your vacancy stays open a looonnng time. Also think about this, are you really saving any money hiring a mediocre candidate? You’ll waste more money on training and development, only to have the person that was an “OK fit” leave in a year and you’ll have to do it all over again.

Third-party recruiting agencies spend all of their time actively searching for and enticing candidates, constructing their network, and getting to know the hiring developments of their enterprise. Instead of simply posting the vacancy and waiting for applicants, (this is yet another downfall of expecting your internal team to help with your vacancy) recruiting firms are constantly building connections and therefore have immediate access to pipelines complete with a variety of talented and experienced candidates, a large majority of which weren’t even looking for new opportunities, aka “passive candidates.”

Third-party company staffing and recruiting companies can hand-select candidates with the vital talents you want, and we can do it far more quickly. Rather than settling in an effort to get your vacancy filled, only to have to re-hire for the same role months down the road, let us get you the right hire the first time!
