Why You Should Consider Working With A Recruiter For Your Next Hire

Are you spending a lot of time having to deep dive through the pile of resumes or applications? Or even after finding a candidate that meets your requirements for the position, they did not fit the company culture? If so, it may be the right time for you now to start working or consulting with a recruiter.

Recruiting services may seem very simple because of the abundance of online platforms available to be able to make your job openings visible and get your employees. However it’s a lot more difficult than you think to find great candidates who are the right fit for your company culture and goals.  Here are some of the many reasons on how and why recruiters can help you 

• Recruiters have an extensive network of possible candidates

Skilled Candidates can be hard to find – especially in very specific industries.  Recruiters have a great network of candidates who can be approached on your behalf.  Recruiters often perform passive candidate screening, which aims to create a database of interested applicants in different industries that could be sourced as a potential talent in your company. Through this extensive network, recruiters can also give high quality referrals of exclusive candidates that are often not available online.

• Recruiters provide Industry insights and advice

Executive recruiters always stays on top of the news on their specialty market/industry. They can keep companies updated with the newest movers and shakers in the industries along with the latest salary trends and benefits.  They build long term relationships with clients and candidates so that they can match skills and personality.

• Recruiters will save you a lot of time

Proper recruitment is a time-consuming process.  There are huge time constraints doing an in-depth search.  It can take hours to read and respond to applicants, perform a phone screen and conduct  interviews and you can lose out to others who have a faster process.  Here at Patrice and Associates we can help you save time and money by finding your ideal employee faster.

• Recruiters have an effective and efficient candidate screening process

Recruiters only present candidates they know to have the right skill set and personality.  They arrange interviews, provide feedback to unsuccessful candidates, verify qualifications and perform reference checks.

• Recruiters could replace your budget/cost for your Job Advertisements

Job advertisements with respect to their relatively short shelf life, can be expensive and an inefficient use of your HR budget. With new jobs being advertised by the hour, your advertised job posting is often only visible for a few days at best.  Working with a recruiter enables you to extend your reach and tap into candidates who are passively looking and are not visible online.

• Recruiters prioritize the interests of your company over anything else

Recruiters are invaluable representatives for your company in focusing on promoting your role and the benefits of your firm. If there are no available people that fit your employee requirements, recruiters can train and/or provide a budget for training people to be able to fit needs.

• Recruiters (at Patrice and Associates) guarantee one free replacement if the person does not work out for your company

If a candidate is placed by a recruitment agency you will generally be given a guarantee period which will provide you with one free replacement if the person doesn’t work out for any reason.  This can be invaluable if either party decides it’s not working out and prevents you from having to start the entire process again.
