Why Use an External Recruiting Firm

We have the technology, process, skills, experience, and time to make this a more efficient process than is possible for a company without recruiting resources.  This helps to ensure that the company doesn’t spend time looking at hundreds of candidates - they see the top candidates who are qualified and interested. We also conduct extensive searches to find candidates not available through just posting a job. Below is a breakdown of what we do to find you, qualified candidates.

 

​

Our Process = Time Savings for our Clients

• Post jobs to website and various boards 

  • We have accounts already established with various boards

  • We have done this many times and can do it quickly

  • We know which boards work better for certain jobs

• Post to social media and other platforms

  • We have a process to create videos and post on Roku devices

  • We use keywords, videos, and branding to help attract views to our posts

  • Posting once in a while won’t do much good - needs to be consistent

• Extensive searches for candidates using a variety of tools (depending on the service requested)

  • We utilize a number of sites to find potential candidates 

  • We know how to use advanced boolean language to narrow our searches to those that may be best fits

  • Without experience, this can be a daunting task 

• Review candidates who respond to job posting/search efforts 

  • We review every resume and determine whom to contact

• Reach out to people that are potential “good fits”

  • Draft and send emails, then respond to those interested

  • Call and leave messages or set up interviews

• Phone screen candidates 

  • Lots of phone tag with candidates and then following up with emails

  • Scheduling calls when necessary (often evenings and weekends, as they may be working)

  • Documenting calls in database

• Conduct in-person interviews (when local)

  • Spend time with candidates to go over their experience and to talk more about the opportunity

  • Determine if there is a fit

  • No shows/cancellations are weeded out

• Scheduling interviews with client

  • We work with everyone's schedule to find times for our client and candidates to meet

• Follow up with candidate and client after the interview

  • Gather feedback from both parties

• Reference checks

  • Communicate feedback to client

• Extend an offer to the candidate

Other reasons to use an outside resource

• If you need to keep it confidential, we can do that

• We keep on top of industry trends and try new technology to see what works and what doesn’t

• We have a well defined Tracking System to keep prospective and active candidates top of mind

• We can be a brand ambassador for our clients

• We can help expose a client’s internal process that could be improved to increase the efficiency of the hiring and/or onboarding process and help uncover other areas of improvement as well

• Turnover can be improved

  • When it is caused by a bad hire, using an outside firm can help

  • Rushed decision making can lead to a bad hire and we can help take the rush out of the equation

  • Lack of proper screening can lead to bad hires - we can weed people out before getting to our clients so the hiring team can focus on the best of the candidates before getting frustrated and in turn settling

  • We inform the candidate of the details  - good and bad. This helps to ensure the candidate knows what is entailed so there is a greater chance that the candidate wants the job and understands it
