Why NOT use a recruiter

Why NOT use a recruiter

In a previous post, I outlined the benefits of using a recruiter. But let’s flip the script for a moment – why not use a recruiter?

Consider these questions:

  • What is the cost to your company when a key role remains unfilled?
  • Are you aware of the latest job market trends to make an informed decision on how long it will take to find the right candidate?
  • How much strain is placed on your current employees, both financially and emotionally, as they cover for an open role?
  • Do you have a pool of qualified candidates ready to be considered? Do you know where to look for the right talent, or have alternative networks that extend your search beyond job boards?
  • Do you have the available staff and resources to dedicate to time-intensive tasks like sourcing, screening, and interviewing candidates?
  • How will you ensure discretion in your search, particularly if it's for a sensitive or replacement executive role?
  • If you're relying on job postings, who is reviewing the flood of resumes? Who is vetting these candidates and coordinating interviews with the hiring team?
  • Can your HR department or hiring team realistically devote the time and energy to sift through hundreds of applications, many of which may not even be relevant?
  • Who will advise you on selecting the right candidate and negotiate competitive compensation without exceeding the budget?

If you answered "No" to any of these questions, it may be time to ask yourself: Why not use a recruiter?
