How Can You Hire the Right Talent?
One bad hire can shake your company to the core. Not only will it leave a dent in your bottom line, it will also put a strain on the rest of your employees and seriously lower morale.
No hiring decision is ever a guaranteed win, but working with a recruiting partner seriously increases your chances of getting it right the first time. If you want your company to thrive, you need to hire top professionals, which is the only type of talent you’ll get from a staffing firm. Find out how outsourcing your talent acquisition can help you find the best person for the job.
Connect With Passive Candidates
The right person for your team isn’t necessarily an active job seeker, but this is the only audience you’ll connect with when hiring on your own. Recruiters maintain talent pools filled with qualified candidates with varying levels of interest in making a career move — including passive job seekers.
This type of talent is currently at a job they’re happy enough in, but are open to new opportunities if something really special comes along. They’re not checking job boards, so working with a recruiter is the only way to connect with these professionals.
Find the Right Cultural Fit
A candidate might have all the right skills on paper, but if they don’t share your team’s beliefs, attitudes and behaviors they won’t last. Hiring for cultural fit is easier said than done, but recruiters do it every day. Your staffing partner will take the time to get to know your company before starting the search, so they can find a candidate with a personality that perfectly aligns with your core fabric.
Fill the Gaps
When you’re short-staffed, it’s easy to look at candidates through rose-colored glasses because you needed to hire someone yesterday. Unfortunately, this is all too common, and often leads to choosing the wrong person. When you work with a recruiter, they can send temporary talent to assist in the interim, so you can take your time finding the absolute best candidate.
Ease the Pressure
By default, hiring new employees is your responsibility, but it’s not really part of your job description. You have plenty of other projects on your plate, which quickly becomes problematic when the hiring process is factored in, as it is a full-time job in itself. Partnering with a recruiter makes this a non-issue, because they do all the work for you. Simply explain what you’re looking for in the right candidate, and they’ll present you with their top picks.
Hire Like an Expert
Technically speaking, anyone with a job to fill can hire new talent, but not everyone can get it right. Like most things in life, finding the best person for an opening on your team is a lot harder than it looks. When you take on a staffing partner, your search is in expert hands. Since they hire for a living, recruiters have a special finesse that can’t be duplicated.
