5 Reasons to Partner with a Recruiting Firm

There are many challenges that come with trying to hire quality employees who will efficiently produce the desired results, and who will also fit in with the pre-existing company culture. 

Filling vacancies internally has hidden costs including time spent interviewing and negotiating, company resources for meetings, and decreased productivity of everyone involved in the hiring process. Partnering with a trustworthy recruiting firm that has the industry knowledge and ethical practices can be one of the greatest assets for a growing organization. Let's look at 5 ways that partnering with the right talent acquisition firm can save your company time, money, and a headache.

The ability to produce desirable and the highest quality candidates

The employees who are highly valued at their organizations are usually not actively pursuing new opportunities and are too busy to apply to open positions via Indeed, Monster, MedReps, etc. One of the ways that Connexis Search Group continues to build lasting partnerships with its clients is by reaching the candidates who are not easy to find. Our methods are highly effective, and the recruiters working under Tony Bishop are all trained extensively on how to respectfully and diligently find the highest quality candidates. The employees hired through these efforts are the reason Connexis Search Group has been so successful over the last 30 years.

A streamlined hiring process

Another benefit of partnering with a recruiting firm that has been trained properly is the streamlined hiring process. When working with a firm that understands the process, the time saved for the client’s leadership team is an invaluable piece of the puzzle. Everything from finding and screening candidates, gathering personal information and references, confirming the affordability of the candidates, organizing and scheduling interviews, debriefing with candidates post-interview, and even negotiating the offer process is included when partnering with firms such as Connexis Search Group. Our recruiters are trained to be an extension of the company they represent, and they put their reputation on the line with every candidate presented. That accountability is another reason we are so successful and have developed long-term relationships in the industry.

Access to the network of candidate

We briefly touched on this when speaking on the quality of prospective candidates, but the third reason to work with an established recruiting firm is the access to the network of candidates. There are many untapped outlets that HR divisions and hiring managers do not have time to pursue. This problem is solved by working with a firm whose full-time job function is to find the proper candidates for their clients. Connexis Search Group has a database with hundreds of thousands of connections that have been developed over the course of 30 years of working in the industry.

Industry expertise

Another reason that working with experienced firms can be a huge asset to a growing organization is industry expertise. Firms such as Connexis Search Group are built with recruiters who specialize in specific industries. Many of the senior-level recruiters served as VPs and GMs at medical companies in their first career! Having the knowledge and network in each specific industry gives a huge advantage to working with a firm rather than attempting to build out your team on your own. You have access to our network, and also our expertise in learning how much to pay the prospective candidates to attract the right people, how quickly to expect a hire, how much training should be involved, etc. There are a plethora of advantages when you partner with people with more experience than the employees in an industry.

Improved productivity of existing employees

Last but not least, the improved productivity of the existing employees sky-rockets when working with a solid recruiting firm. The time it takes to find quality candidates, interact and interview and present offers adds up to many hours per week. And it's not just time; the cost to fly across the country for interviews, pay for hotels, gather people for group interviews is in the thousands. When you look at the time, money, and focus it takes to hire a candidate from start to finish, the fee associated with a fair recruiter is a drop in the bucket. Firms like Connexis Search Group have flexible plans that can be tailored to fit the needs of almost any company.

After reading about the benefits of partnering with a respectable firm, I hope your questions and concerns have been addressed.
