A good recruitment firm is a bridge to top talent

Highly qualified candidates might be trying to reach out to you but are hesitant to do so because of possible repercussions from their current employers, particularly in niche industries, where word travels fast. Working with a time-tested recruiter gives top talent a way to reach out and test the waters without endangering their relationships with their current employers.

A recruitment firm can protect you from costly hiring mistakes

A good recruitment firm lives and dies on its reputation. What this means for you is that the firm you partner with will vet candidates more intensely than any internal hiring department would. They will send you candidates that are not only right for the job but who are a fit for your workplace culture as well. Finding a candidate who is on board with your workplace culture is a vital component to their success in the job, and the value they can provide your organization. The end result is a candidate who is a great investment, ready to hit the ground running. This saves you time, money, and effort in the training process.

Your internal HR department already has a lot on its plate.

As a whole, your internal HR department wears a lot of hats. In addition to managing current hires, payroll, benefits, and everything else, the type of recruiting that internal HR departments are best set up to do searches wide, not deep. Meaning, their hires are found among a pool where the candidates outnumber the jobs available. A recruitment firm, on the other hand, is able to conduct its search with laser-focus, something that most HR departments simply do not have the time or resources to do. Leaving your internal hiring department to find top talent to satisfy hard-to-fill roles may leave the job open for far longer than you intend.

A recruitment firm saves you your most important asset: time.

Your company can always earn more money and all the things that come with it, such as accolades, status, and growth. But you can never earn back your time. The longer a hard-to-fill the position sits empty, the more time your company misses out on the innovations and contributions that only the right hire can provide.
