What are the true values a Recruiter brings to the hiring process?  

How do you justify the cost? 

1) Recruiters tap into their employment networks. They have access to professionals who are “passive”. These professionals aren’t conducting an active job search – They are the professional you want to reach but they’re not reading job boards or website postings. Instead, they’re working with their trusted agency to find them the best match. This is 60% of the market, 60% you cannot reach alone!  

2) Recruiters know job hunter’s key drivers and motivators and can advise on the person behind the resume. They know what areas of a business to highlight to attract potential job hunters. This can’t be beaten when matching a candidate to job, boss and team culture. Using insightful understanding, applying their market knowledge and matching the key drivers often means the difference between landing the ideal candidate . . or not. 

3) Screening and selection is TIME SAVED! On average it takes 20 hours per role by a talented professional. That’s 3 days full-time work without even starting the interview process! With these numbers you can see how cost-effective the recruiter is and remember, far better for you to focus on your job, whilst the recruiter is doing what they do best.  

4) Keeping a position open is costly. The longer it is open, the more productivity is reduced, morale is affected and processes are skipped. 

5) Recruiters have their finger on the pulse – they are hunting all day, every day. Their knowledge is your advantage, you can get insight on competitors and what is being offered to attract and retain staff.  

6) Engagement is locked in. Recruiters work both sides, streamlining the process to keep everybody involved and on the same page. They make sure the candidates are engaged throughout the process, ensuring a company’s best prospect isn’t lost to a competitor’s offer during the decision-making timeframe.  

7) Recruiters follow a consistent process that ensures no step is missed and all avenues are explored – Due to their 100% focus on the role, client and candidates. The result is therefore, a positive experience for all, no matter the outcome. This ensures your brand is protected. 

8) Service Guarantee minimises risk. A great recruitment service will be confident in their process and skills, demonstrated by offering a guarantee on every placement. Should there be a problem – an early leaver, a business mismatch they will complete the process again – For free! 

9) Getting it right means your retention rates are HIGH! Positive attrition leads to MONEY SAVED in training, downtime and lost productivity.
