Hiring a Headhunter

Making a hiring mistake is costly. It costs your company time, resources, productivity, and MONEY. As you are already well aware, people are the most valuable asset in your organization, and if you fail to attract talented people (at all levels of your organization), it can and will have an impact on organizational culture, business performance, and your bottom line.

Recruiting is one of the most invaluable functions in your organization, and we’re not just saying this because we’re recruiters. It’s true. As they say, a company is only as good as its employees, and if you want to find the top talent in your industry, investing in recruiting is a great place to start.

You have a job vacancy. Someone has either been promoted, moved on or was fired. Now you are faced with filling a void. However, before you hit the speed dial button and send the new job opening to a headhunter, it’s important to get things organized on your end.

It’s essential to vet a headhunter before agreeing to hire them to help you with your hiring process. It’s important to find an executive recruiter who not only has a track record of success, but also has the credentials, experience, and resources to get the job done.

While some may be inclined to hang up the phone or delete the email immediately and go on with their day, this could be mistake. Even if your company is not hiring right now, you will likely need to hire people in the future.

The recruiting business is not without it warts. There are still many companies and recruiters using dated recruiting processes. If you are a company using these processes or if you are working with a recruiter who is out of touch with the new realities of recruiting, you could be doing yourself a disservice and missing out on top industry talents – both of which could hurt your company going forward.

While a company’s hiring managers and recruiters play a similar role in the hiring process, they often get in each other’s way, potentially impacting the efficiency and effectiveness of hiring the right person for the job

So, you want to hunt the hunters in the job market? It’s a great strategy for job seekers to get on a recruiter’s radar. However, the burning question is, “Where can I meet headhunters?” It’s a great question, and the answer is that you can find top quality recruiters in more ways that most realize.

Making real change and helping your organization evolve and renew its organizational culture starts with hiring new talent.
