When building your company, you need to ask yourself if you have the time and skills to recruit and hire the best people. Or are you merely posting jobs online and hoping to interview a few of the people who might apply.
If you want to build an A level team – you need to use a Search Firm to ensure you get the best candidates. Email me if you’d like an introduction to one of the 3 firms I have all of my clients using Cameron@BackPocketCOO.com
TOP Reasons to use a Search Firm:
- Your company doesn’t have the time and or manpower to recruit large pools of applications on your own
- You don’t have the tools, network or process in place to manage the search
- It is a replacement of a current employee, and it needs to be a (confidential) search
- You are bound by non-competes, non-solicits, or industry relationships to NOT recruit from your competition. Search Firms can recruit for you!
- The BEST candidates are not on job boards, nor are they looking for jobs. The best are highly successful, and they need to be recruited away from their current job.
- Guaranteed Results – when using a search firm, the placement is guaranteed with a full replacement, if the hiring team is not satisfied
- Partnership – when using a search firm, the hiring team can count on a lasting partnership when it comes to sourcing industry specific talent ongoing for more job openings. The search firm become an extension of your company.
- Credibility – when using a retained search firm, the recruiting team can establish a higher level of credibility with passive candidates
- Hiring a 3rd party agency gives you the ability to discreetly call into your competitors.
- Hiring Experts: Provide consultation and guidance to further define your role and ideal target candidates.
- Search firms have the strength and focus to reach out to many more candidates. Search firms expand your pool of candidates and save your company time.
