Stop Overpaying for Every Role! Most organizations have strong beliefs about internal recruiting vs external headhunters and they are wrong. After three decades in HR leadership at companies like Ford, Comcast, and Pepsi, I’ve seen countless organizations fall into the trap of assuming external recruiters are the silver bullet for all hiring challenges. But not every position warrants the steep fees that come with bringing in external search partners. During my time as a CHRO and now leading a successful HR advisory firm, I've had front-row seats to how this plays out. Just a few months ago, I worked with a company eager to shell out big bucks for external recruiters to fill multiple mid-level positions. They believed that bringing in talent from outside was the fix. The truth? Their internal team was more than equipped to identify and nurture talent from within—it was a matter of strategy. Here’s what we did: instead of leaning on external help for every role, we zeroed in on the critical leadership positions that truly needed an outside perspective. For these, we partnered with specialists who brought fresh insights and a wider industry lens. This move not only saved them significant costs but ensured that the hires were spot-on for their vision and culture. The takeaway? Use external resources strategically for those game-changing roles. For everything else, bet on your internal team. They understand your culture, your values, and your long-term vision better than anyone else.
