Smaller organizations or non-profits can often face challenges when it comes to recruiting new talent. Limited budgets, a small HR team with a lack of bandwidth, or help narrowing down needs for a future hire are just a few challenges. Partnering with a recruiting firm as a strategic part of your recruiting process can give you the support you need to curate a pool of top-notch candidates! Here are just a few reasons why you just consider this partnership!
Save Time
The recruitment process can be overwhelming and time-consuming for a smaller organization. By bringing on a recruiting firm you can ensure the search is being done thoroughly while not burdening your team members with additional work. The recruiters do the heavy lifting by sifting through and connecting with a strong candidate pool. Then you can come in during the interview process to meet qualified candidates 1-on-1 to determine who is the best fit for your team.
Connecting with Passive Candidates
Often hiring managers or HR teams don’t have enough time and resources. They resort to posting positions on job boards in hopes that applicants will check all the boxes they need. Passive candidates make up about 70% of the job force. This approach means you’re missing the most qualified candidates. Recruiting firms will continue to post, review, and consider applicants. They also push hard to source passive candidates who fit the needs and requirements of the position.
Market Knowledge and Expertise
Smaller organizations don’t have the time to keep up with the job market and recruiting trends. A recruiting partner will provide insight into trends around candidates’ salary, work model, and benefits expectations. They provide a wide range of candidates who meet different requirements to give you an understanding of what the market looks like. This allows you to make the best decision for your team and organization.
Manage Candidate Pipeline
A recruiting partner manages your candidate pipeline. They can coordinate and schedule interviews for your hiring managers. They can keep candidates engaged and interested throughout the recruiting process. A good recruiting partner also manages candidate expectations. This includes timing, steps in the process, negotiating offers, and notifying candidates who were not selected.
If you’re looking to grow your team but don’t have the bandwidth to add full cycle recruiting to your plate, partnering with a recruiting firm is a fantastic option! Recruiting partners are valuable resources staffed with professionals with expertise in a variety of industries and areas. They help with all aspects of the recruiting process including tailoring job postings, preparing screening questions, and finalizing interview processes. Your recruiting partner is a trusted advisor helping you connect with the right candidates not only for the role but for your team.
