Top Traits to Look for in the Perfect Recruitment Agency
✅Knows your company
Good: Knows the industry and size of your company and will target the right candidate – to make sure they will be the right fit they’ll vet the candidate appropriately.
Bad: Hasn’t taken the time to meet with managers or get to know you or the company; they are too focused on getting the next candidate or client to partner with.
✅Understands your business needs:
Good: Understands where your business needs lay and is a true partner with what you are trying to accomplish.
Bad: Doesn’t take the time to know what your business goals are and worries more about what they will receive in revenue than finding the right candidate.
✅Always trying to get better:
Good: Takes time to meet with you to go over your needs and seeks feedback after interviews to ensure they are targeting the right pool of candidates.
Bad: Puts the same type of candidate in front of you after you have said no and doesn’t understand why you continue to say no plus continuously has excuses on why things are not a success.
✅They listen:
Good: Takes time to hear what you want and need, doesn’t put pressure on you to make rash decisions but sets up timetables to get adequate feedback.
Bad: Asks the same questions and will find short cuts on getting you the right candidate because they are pushing too many candidates to you that do not fit your needs.
✅They’re an subject matter expert in their field:
Good: Can speak about what you need by knowing the industry you are in and can break down a position to find you the right candidate.
Bad: Works across all skill sets and doesn’t really understand what they are recruiting on which in return will give you the wrong types of candidates.
✅They will follow the process that was promised to you:
Good: They will stick to their vetting process and will not skip steps which would lower the bar on the quality of candidate for you.
Bad: They don’t meet with their candidates, they do not perform reference checks and they just send you a high volume amount of candidates so you can do the screening instead of them.
