We Have An HR Department, Why Do We Need A Recruiter? I get this question a lot and quite frankly, maybe you don’t. Have a read of our “Signs You Need A Recruiter” article to determine if you actually need some outside help. If you determine you do need some assistance there is a lot of ways a recruiter can help.
HR is often responsible for multiple open job reqs, Health and Safety, Policies and Procedures and keeping you in compliance. They have too many tasks and not enough time, especially for hard to fill roles. A Recruiter can free up some of that time so they can focus on what really matters for your company.
Your HR Staff or Internal recruiter rarely has the resources or expertise to go beyond the job board. Sometimes posting a job ad can work but if it is not getting the job done then a recruiter can push the search further through Headhunting and various other Direct and Indirect Recruiting methods
If you are replacing someone or just do not want your competition to know you are looking a recruiter can be very valuable. They can do an unadvertised search so that you can back fill a role and make that replacement when you are ready to do so.
Niche recruiters are specialized in their field and can bring more to the table than just candidates. Ask them for salary surveys or trends. Most of us are happy to share whatever industry info we have. For more info on Why Niche Matters
