Long term approaches to staffing can save you time and money.
With the fast pace of, well, everything today, blocking out headspace for hiring new employees tends to be reserved until a position opens up. While this might seem practical, maintaining an ongoing collaboration with your recruiting partner can actually save both time and money, which means it also can eliminate copious amounts of stress!
Even on an individual hire level, ongoing collaboration with recruiters can prevent painful hiring headaches. When staffing agents have the opportunity to work closely with their clients, it allows them to understand the hurdles and proclivities of your business, so you don’t just fill the position, you fill it right.
This is the beginning of a beautiful partnership
When you click with a colleague, work is exciting and deeply gratifying — in a nutshell, that’s the idea when it comes to maintaining a continuous conversation with your recruiting agency. The better they know your company, the quicker they’ll be able to introduce you to candidates with profiles that best fit your goals beyond just the hire. However, the benefits of this relationship don’t end there.
Market savvy. While you and your staff are fluent in the nuances related to your field, recruiters are just as tuned into what’s going on in job markets. They’re up to date on salary trends, how full certain job markets are, and finding top talent, so when you’re ready to hire, they not only know who to send to you, they can make sure you’re prepared to bid competitively without overdoing it. Keeping in touch with your recruiting partner allows them to know exactly how to match your needs with current trends and the market status.
Efficiency. What if every time a position opened you had to re-acquaint your recruiters with all the details of your company? With a partner agency at your side, they’ll understand qualifications beyond just skill sets – it’s like going to your favorite restaurant where the server knows what you like and will happily guide you to options you’ll love!
Niche markets. When the position calls for rare skills, or in-demand talent, finding the right candidate can be intensely time-consuming, thereby slowing the growth of your business. Once again, it’s your trusty recruiter to the rescue! A top-notch staffing service is well versed in attracting exotic and in-demand candidates, saving you from diving into an ocean of uncertain possibilities – the more in touch they are with your company, the more sharply they can focus their search.
Staffing evaluation. Forming a long-term strategy with your recruiter sets you up for growth and unexpected job vacancies. A recruiting partner can help outline what your H.R. department needs to accomplish to meet your company goals as, and before, you grow, so when you arrive at the next step, you’re ready to take it on at full strength!
