Many managers are asking us: ‘Why should we use an external Recruitment- or Search Firm? It is very expensive to outsource recruitment!’
Let me share a secret: It’s not ;)…
The return on investment is of so much more value than handling everything within the Organization.
See the bigger picture: Everybody strives to get the best available talent for the job. But did you know that over 70% of candidates applying for the job are not even qualified to do so?
On average, each corporate job offer attracts in average 250 resumes. Of those candidates, 4 to 6 will get called for an interview, and only one will get the job. (Source: Glassdoor)
To screen hundreds and hundreds of resumes is a very time-consuming task, especially when the individual has his/her day-to-day job to do as well.
This brings me to the first Benefit of why you should be using an Executive Search Firm in your organization:
1. Time saving
Every Manager / Director of Human Resources has a million things to do on a day-to-day basis, plus the unexpected ‘must do now’s’. Would it not be helpful if you can fully focus on the essentials of your job? Let us do the recruitment for you. Time is money!
2. Hiring the ‘Best of the Best’
Recruitment Firms have an extensive Database with excellent, high caliber talent. Top Talents don’t have the time to browse the internet and its career sites hours a day. It becomes even less, with all the scams happening in the online world. High caliber candidates use recruitment firms to find the right role for them. Candidates want to feel safe and valued. They don’t get that from online, recruitment portals.

As an employer, it is essential to hire the ‘right’ candidate in order to avoid turnover. It is a long term investment.
3. Experts in the industry
Recruiters are specialized in a certain niche. They know what the client is looking for. They understand the nature of the business. Not only that, but they have the knowledge of market trends, salary trends, skill sets available, and much more.
4. Focused in serving the client
A retained recruiter will work 24/7 for his/her client. A recruiter will give his/her full focus on finding the ‘right’ talent for the particular client. On the end – no placement – no payment!
5. Fair Opportunities
Recruiters are not influenced by cognitive biases. They are open-minded and assess skills purely based on the client’s needs & requirements in order to find the best talent for the particular job.
6. Candidate variety
Good candidates have to be sourced. More than 73% of jobseekers today are only passively looking for a job. Passive talent takes longer to find, but the outcome of finding these individuals is usually a success story.
