As the businesses we work with continue to grow, their structure, culture and long term plans grow too. We’re seeing more and more companies invest in internal talent acquisition, and value it more and more.
A role that simply used to be called ‘Internal Recruiter’ has got a glow up, and companies are focusing more on building strong talent pipelines, so hiring doesn’t take months of waiting for someone to apply to a job advert.
But how do agencies slot into all of this? Are you thinking, ‘Do I need to use a recruitment agency if I’m a Talent Acquisition Manager? Well in an ideal world no! But the reality of the job market means yes. Speaking personally here, we have a huge range of tools at our disposal that normal talent acquisition teams can only have a fraction of due to budgets and time constraints. Not only that, but we also have a huge amount of exposure to information on what exactly is happening in the job market. Is it candidate rich? Are people making redundancies? What’s the average salary for the role you’re looking for? What benefits are other businesses offering? And what’s the best way to advertise a role these days?
That’s where we can come in, to strengthen your recruitment and talent management process. We are here to work in partnership WITH your talent acquisition teams. To share where we have looked, how we have advertised, and what we have found out. Not hide it away and keep the trade secrets. The best approach is one where you’re all covering all bases. That might mean you’re focused on advertising on Indeed, or sourcing on LinkedIn. So we advertise on our other job boards, and go through our database of candidates we have worked with for years who might not be actively looking, but who are ready to start thinking about it!
We’re not here to compete. We’re here to support, and we want you to feel like we’re an extension of your business. Getting to know you and your business personally is important. (As we have mentioned in previous blogs). And for us, it’s the best part of our job!
We can help you figure out why your job advert isn’t performing, why people aren’t accepting your offers, how to strengthen your interview process, or even how your benefits, hours, salary or office set up matches to people competing for the same great candidates.
We’re here to be your fourth emergency service! Well ok, that’s probably a bit far fetched, but you understand where we’re coming from!
