Looking for a job can be difficult. But finding the perfect and most qualified person to fill the job in your company can be even more challenging. Hiring the right people is vital to a company’s success; you’ll need a pool of experienced and trained individuals to handle the hiring process and look for people who are a great fit for your company. This is where headhunters and recruiters come in.

 

Headhunters are individuals contracted by companies to look for quality and competent candidates to fill their job openings. But are corporate headhunters worth the time and investment? How can they really help you in finding your next employee?

  1. Corporate headhunters can find the best candidate that fits your company’s needs. Headhunters have a wide pool of job candidates at their disposal. They are constantly searching for and screening candidates, often interviewing 10-15 new people each week. Utilizing their large networks, they can quickly narrow down your search and give you a list of candidates that are best qualified for the position.

  2. Hiring a recruitment agency saves time and money. Every person and task in your company has its corresponding time and monetary value. Unless you have a dedicated HR department who are focused solely on all aspects of the hiring process, corporate headhunters can be of great assistance in looking for those qualified candidates. This can save you time and money by allowing your employees to just focus on their respective tasks than to do something they are not necessarily trained to do.

  3. Using a headhunting service will increase efficiency. Corporate headhunters are trained in all aspects of the hiring process. This means you can focus on equally important areas of your business and increase efficiency without having to worry about how to fill the vacant positions in the company.

  4. Corporate headhunters can reach the best candidates who are not in the job market. Often the top performers are those that are currently employed and aren’t necessarily job hunting. Corporate headhunters will be able to help you reach out to that passive candidate market and draw from an untapped pool of top performers.

  5. References of candidates are more reliable. Your recruitment agency will conduct preliminary reference checks before they present potential candidates to you. Headhunters will also use their professional network to check on these individuals and determine whether they are truly qualified for the job or not.

  6. A headhunter can handle the offer and negotiation process. Corporate headhunters are trained to offer their services and negotiate on your behalf. This can help you a lot especially when you want a key and qualified person to join your company. They can even provide market intelligence to the potential candidate about the compensation and benefits offered by your competitors to show why your company has an advantage.

 

Sharing the same values and core priorities with your corporate headhunter is a must. At the same time, they should specialize or at have knowledge in the industry you belong to so they can better understand your needs and that of your company. You must be able to trust your headhunters will be able to find that perfect fit.
