There are many cases in business when outsourcing certain critical tasks makes perfect sense. Many companies outsource their accounting and collections, others outsource marketing and PR tasks. What also makes a lot of sense for many reasons is hiring a recruiter to help you build your team. Especially if you are a small business and don’t have a full time HR department in your organization.
Here are a few very good reasons to use a recruiter to help your organization find talent.
Recruiters work for you. A recruiter works for you, the company looking for new talent. Yes, a recruiter has a network of candidates they can tap into and can and trust, but the recruiter works for you. A reputable recruiter will only push a candidate in front of you that they feel is ready to go to the next level and fits your needs.
A more targeted search. You can drop your job posting on any number of job websites and you’ll most likely get a ton of resumes. That’s not necessarily a good thing. For one, you now have to weed through all those resumes and in many cases, you’ll find that only a small fraction of them will meet your criteria. Or, you can partner with a reputable recruiter and they can do that legwork for you. They will scan resumes, go through their already established network and present you with only the best talent.
Return on investment. There are a couple ways you need to look at ROI. First, the internal resources your company will put behind making a new hire can be high. Taking the time to go through endless resumes and cover letters can be extremely time-consuming. So the savings to your organization starts right there. Then there’s finding the right talent. Making a bad hire can cost your organization tremendous resources. A recruiter can minimize the possibility of making a bad hire because those candidates will already be screened.
Recruiters, headhunters, whatever you want to call them can be of tremendous value to your hiring plans. The right recruiter will have experience, a knowledge of your industry and a network they can tap into to help you build your team.
