Introduction – Recruitment & Relevance

Today I’ll be writing about the relevance of recruiters in the global hiring space and why they are helpful, and also, why sometimes they’re unhelpful (and even annoying) There are various types of recruiters, from recruitment agencies who offer temporary staffing, to executive search firms who place highly paid executives into companies, mediocre candidate sourcing companies and also talent acquisition firms. 

So who are they relevant to? And why? 

Industry specific – What are your industry needs?

In my opinion, there are industries where recruitment companies, specifically temporary staffing agencies are relevant and priceless, say for example you’re a haulage company, and at 3am you have a run across the UK or USA, and the driver calls in sick, what do you do? I mean the load cannot stay there it has to be moved, in that instance a lot of companies would call on a temp staffing agency to help them fill their needs, it isn’t something a HR department can do for you, no matter how good they are, they cannot magic a spare staff member from thin air (unless they’re the genie from Aladdin) 

But what about companies who need to hire staff to fill permanent roles, they have a HR department already, and they still use recruitment companies, candidate sourcing companies and executive search firms, why? In my opinion, a good HR department should consist of a HRBP, HR Admin, Payroll team and a recruiter or recruitment department, especially if the company is large or corporate. I mean there is no reason why they should be using external recruiters right? Wrong! There are MANY large and corporate businesses who have both internal and external recruiters. 

Internal vs External – what are the benefits?

A companies internal recruiters have an advantage. They know the company, they know the culture, they know what they want, but oftentimes internal staff members interview to find themselves or a version of themselves or their team members, and this does not always work out well.
 

An independent recruiter is going to place the best and most qualified person for the job, end of, it doesn’t matter about their eye colour or what shirt/dress they’re wearing to the interview. This is the main reason why large companies will use recruitment companies, candidate sourcing companies and talent acquisition companies to do their hiring for certain roles, even if they have an internal team. 

The Cost – Recruitment can be costly

All hiring comes with a cost attached, whether you are hiring with an internal HR team, or using an executive search firm or recruitment company, you’re going to incur a cost.
