Benefits of Using A Recruiter

Benefits of Using A Recruiter It is quite surprising that there are still a number of managers and business owners who are skeptical about the benefits of using a recruiter to fill vacant positions in their organization. I am not sure what’s stopping them. It may be the cost of hiring one or it may be a bad experience with another. But in today’s business climate, hiring a recruiting agency is considered a smart strategy. It provides a host of benefits that will justify all the costs involved. We’ve listed below some of Benefits of Using A Recruiter for the positions they need to fill. Keep it Confidential Confidentiality. Through the years, I have worked on several placements that are confidential either because the person being replaced is still in the position or the company does not want their competition to know that they are hiring for an important or a strategic position in their firm. A good recruiter should be able to work and headhunt silently, without bombarding the market with ads and social media postings. Not all companies have dedicated recruiters who take care of talent acquisition. The Human Resource department, especially for larger organizations, is almost always busy with other employee related concerns. If this is the case with your company, the best way is to go external, especially when the position to be filled is an urgent one. External recruiters are dedicated to talent acquisition. Consider it a project you are farming out to a trusted business partner. Recruiters are knowledgeable about market trends. Hiring external recruiters can give you good insights about other companies that are hiring as well. If it is of any value to you, an excellent recruiter can help you gain information about your competition. They can provide you with intelligence reports that they either intentionally or unintentionally able to obtain as they source candidates from different companies. Take Advantage of the Replacement Guarantee GUARANTEE. Most recruiting firms provide a replacement guarantee of between 3 and 6 months. This gives companies some peace of mind that they can always try out a candidate first. They can assess their fit to the position for a set time period. And then they have the option to replace them at no cost if they prove ineffective. iLink Global Recruiting offers a 6-month replacement guarantee. This is the longest in the market today.
