Hiring is always a risky endeavor – just about all hiring managers have experienced bad hires, even with a very strategic and thorough evaluation process. Being too set in a preconceived notion of an ideal candidate not only doesn’t guarantee a successful hire, but can also limit your talent acquisition potential.
Working with a recruiter who approaches prospective candidates in a different way than you may be a valuable asset to switch up your strategy and land committed, qualified employees you may otherwise have never considered. Learn more about why you should trust an out-of-the-box thinker with your next hiring initiative:
Larger Pool of Talent
If you are struggling to attract applicants for your open positions because of a skills gap or tight labor market in your industry or geographic area, working with a recruiter to find candidates can give you access to a larger pool of talent. This will increase the chances that your openings are able to be filled with someone who will be a valuable contributor that you may have otherwise missed out on.
Faster Hiring Process
Holding out for a rigidly defined set of qualifications or background in potential trial candidates can leave your positions open for an extended amount of time. By delegating to a recruiter who thinks outside the box, it can result in a much faster hiring process – while still getting you candidates who have what it takes to succeed.
Organic Diversity
Many companies struggle with making their commitments to diversity in their cultures a reality because their recruitment and hiring processes inadvertently attract the same types of employees as their current workforces. This is often simply because they are using the same criteria for assessing candidates as they always have. A recruiter can help to encourage organic diversity in your company because their new way of approaching candidates’ potential can draw in new demographics in an authentic way.
Innovation
Working with an out-of-the-box thinker for your recruitment has the potential to improve your overall business. The more varied types of employees you hire, the more perspectives you have on your team. These different viewpoints can be a wealth of insight when it comes to innovation, from developing solutions to problems to brainstorming new ideas to help take your business to the next level.
