Why Consider a Professional Recruiter

Many small businesses believe they can’t afford to hire a professional recruiter to help find them top talent. Having never used a professional recruiter, many don’t know the value they bring. What is the benefit of using a professional recruiter and why would a business even consider the expense. With labor being the biggest cost to most businesses, hiring the wrong person can be extraordinarily expensive to correct. Here is what a professional recruiter has over a small business with no internal recruiting expertise on site or at their disposal:
- A professional recruiter is in contact with candidates daily.
- A professional recruiter has a database of pre-screened candidates, and knows the top-notch candidates, and well as the candidates you might want to pass on.
- A professional recruiter knows who in the local labor market arena is looking to leave, and what they are looking for. Your practice may be just the place for them.
- A professional recruiter is a subject matter expert in interviewing and vetting candidates, and is screening for work ethic, work history, experience, skills, current licensure, cultural fit, and longevity.
- A professional recruiter has more tools, both through technology, and in networking bandwidth, to source candidates so that the applicant pool is larger.
- We provide a guarantee for a certain period of time such that if the new employee either self selects out, or fails, the recruiter will re-recruit without another fee.
- A professional recruiting team such as ours, works 7 days a week, including evenings, weekends and holidays, when most of the candidates are job hunting. Many managers are not working during those hours, and hence, miss out on the best candidates.
- A professional recruiter works solely to find you top talent. Managers will try to balance the full complement of their job responsibilities while trying to recruit. Recruiting today is all about timing. In 24 hours, another employer may scoop up the best and brightest. A professional recruiter is at it all the time and has the best opportunity to find the top talent you need.

A professional recruiter can most likely fill the position quicker than you can and with the highest caliber candidate available in the labor market at that time. This may all be worth the expense. In the end, it is an investment to use a professional recruiter.
