\n\u200bI\u2019ve worked in Recruitment (agency side) for a long time\u2026! Over that time, the market and industry have changed significantly. To stay ahead of the changing recruitment landscape, we, as recruiters, have had to constantly adapt our methods and styles to enable us to deliver our clients\u2019 needs. It\u2019s been fun, but it hasn\u2019t always been easy! But throughout my tenure in Recruitment, I\u2019ve been blessed to work with some very talented recruiters and some amazing clients (you know who you are). <\/span>\n<\/p>\n I have put the below guide together for Business Owners, HR Personnel, and Internal Recruiters on how to get the most from your recruitment partner(s); working collaboratively to make recruitment more effective, efficient, and enjoyable.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n Nobody is perfect, and we will make mistakes. If we do, please be honest with us. If we send unsuitable CVs, tell us. Tell us where we are going wrong. If we do something you don\u2019t like, tell us. Don\u2019t go quiet on us, blank our calls, emails, etc. If you decide you no longer want to work with us (for whatever reason), just let us know. It doesn\u2019t have to be personal.<\/span> We understand that you might rather fill the job directly if possible. But when the time arises that you need to utilise the skills and network of a specialist recruiter, don\u2019t play hardball. Let\u2019s work in partnership, let\u2019s work together. If you choose to use a recruiter, you are implicitly trusting them to act as brand ambassadors to your business; communicating and educating candidates on your vacancy and business. Help us, help you!<\/span> Often, the hiring manager decides who they want to hire (not the HR or Recruitment team). If we are able to speak directly to the decision maker, we can get everything we need to do our jobs more efficiently and deliver your organisation the talent it needs. We appreciate if you are managing the recruitment that you want to stay on top and involved (it often helps the whole process), but it\u2019s also very important for us to get all the information we need from the team the placement is required for. This will help us to explore the boundaries of candidate suitability, get direct feedback, and provide an honest market appraisal. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n Good candidates\u00a0will be snapped up quickly \u2013 sometimes within a day! (That\u2019s our record anyway). Why? Because companies serious about recruiting the best talent, will act quickly and they listen to us. They know the difficulties we face with high demand vs low supply. If we send you someone that looks good\u2026 act fast. Think about the impression on the candidate when they receive a quick turnaround \u2013 it demonstrates you are serious and it makes them feel important and wanted. If there is a specific reason you can\u2019t turn feedback around that quickly, that\u2019s fine, but please let us know so we can let the candidate(s) know. Please don\u2019t be offended if we chase you for feedback, We don’t want to be letting the candidate down. Delays could also affect your reputation in the market.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n We invest hours, days, weeks, months, and sometimes years into building a network of suitable candidates \u2013 we don\u2019t claim to be the best and we are by no means perfect, but we passionately and genuinely believe in doing recruitment the right way; offering honest, consultative, thorough and consistent recruitment solutions to all our clients and candidates.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n Thanks for reading! <\/span>\n<\/p>\n Thoughts, comments, and opinions are always welcome\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How To Get The Best From Your Recruiter… \u200bI\u2019ve worked in Recruitment (agency side) for a long time\u2026!
