The traditional recruitment model is broken; it has been for a while now, yet companies and hiring managers are still following old ways. If that’s you… STOP!

Think of it like this… Would you ask five accountants to do your books, yet only pay the one who completes them with the quickest turnaround? We’re hoping not! Would you be confident that your accounts had been completed accurately, that no corners had been cut and that you had received a high level of service? Probably not. It is likely that these mistakes would end up costing you more time, money and headaches in the long run.

The most effective way of narrowing down a service would be by checking out each accountant to find out what they offer, their rates and their reputation, helping you select the best fit for your requirements.

Likewise, while hiring, you’ll need to follow an effective recruitment strategy to get the best results, while following technological, economic and recruitment trends. Putting pressure on a number of recruiters with the motive to pay the one who finds your ideal candidate, the quickest, won’t work in your favour.

HERE’S THE REALITY OF FOLLOWING THIS OUTDATED RECRUITMENT MODEL…

  • All recruiters will be fishing in the same pool of candidates, fighting over themselves to get to the candidates first. Imagine being a candidate, having to fight this off!
  • Recruiters will be rushing to get candidates over to you with the possibility of cutting corners; some may even avoid regular processes of completing an in-depth discussion with candidates, with the aim to get their CV over to you as soon as possible! This will definitely be a waste of time!
  • Their sourcing standards may drop, throwing loads of CV’s over to you in the hope that one candidate will be good enough, resulting in payment…And not to mention the relentless calls you’d receive by the various recruiters working for you, all at the same time!

This is a frustrating way of working for recruiters, a low-quality experience for candidates (putting them off future collaborations with recruiters) and a recruitment service with little value for money for your business. Wait… this is how recruitment has worked for years on end, following a traditional model. This is definitely a broken process which should be avoided, and now you can with our support!
