Reasons to Outsource Your Talent Acquisition
Every hiring decision you make impacts your entire organization, so it’s only natural to want to retain a tight grasp on the process. Choosing the wrong person for the job is costly, and your company can’t afford the pricey payout.

At first glance, managing the entire hiring process on your own makes the most sense; however, it’s time to take another look at that decision. Trusting a recruiting firm to handle your talent acquisition may seem intimidating, but before long, you’ll wonder why you didn’t make the transition sooner.
As staffing experts, recruiters have their fingers on the pulse of all things hiring. You can count on your recruiter to steer you in the right direction and help you create the best roster your company has ever seen. Enjoy the following benefits by outsourcing your talent acquisition.
Fill Positions Faster
The average time-to-hire is 22.9 days, according to a 2014 survey conducted by Glassdoor Economic Research. This means on average, each open position at your company will remain vacant for at least one month. During this time, your existing team will be forced to take on the tasks associated with the position — resulting in hours of overtime each week — and other responsibilities will slip through the cracks.
The situation is very different when you have a staffing partner. Recruiters constantly work to maintain talent pools filled with skilled professionals ready to take on new challenges. Since the talent is on standby, your staffing partner can fill the position immediately — maybe even the same day.
Find Better Talent
When you post open positions on your company HR site and job boards, the candidates who see these openings are actively seeking work. This is great, but these people aren’t always the best fit for the job. Recruiters maintain relationships with passive candidates who are employed, but willing to consider the right opportunity. These highly coveted candidates are at the top of their game, but you’ll never even know they exist unless you’re working with a well-connected recruiter.
Hire For Demand
If your company has a couple of busy seasons, you need to be properly staffed to handle the demand, but there’s no need to keep all these people on staff for the entire year. When you work with a recruiter, they’ll create a cost-effective staffing plan that ensures your bases are covered while keeping you from employing too many people at once. Your recruiter will connect you with professionals seeking temporary employment, so you can hire extra help during peak times without the need to keep them on staff when business slows.
Save Time in Your Day
Running a company is hard work. The last thing you need is another high-priority item on your to-do list. When an employee quits or you decide to create a new position, finding a candidate to step into the role becomes your top priority, pushing the rest of your work to the side. Of course when you have a staffing partner, this is a non-issue because they handle everything for you. All you have to do is choose from a short list of final picks.
