Building a Partnership With Your Recruiting Firm

Posted

Every great partnership has one important thing in common: bringing separate talents and resources together in order to reach the same goal. Both you and your recruiting firm have “meeting your staffing needs” as your goal, but the success of your partnership depends on how you utilize your resources and talents to achieve that goal. You can make the most of your partnership with your recruiting firm when you know what they need from you to help you meet your staffing goals.

Make Your Needs Clear

It’s easy to assume that you’ve done your part if you tell your recruiting firm that you need a steady supply of employees for a particular position, but if you want the best employees for the job, then you need to be more specific about the qualities you’re seeking in new hires. Aim to update job descriptions on a regular basis, including any new educational and experience requirements. Supply these updated job descriptions – plus any other pertinent information about the position or your organization – to your recruiting firm as needed. It’s the easiest way to ensure that you and your recruiters are on the same page.

Create a Staffing Strategy

Every industry has predictable periods when turnover is expected, or demand for products or services is higher. Ensure that you’re a step ahead of your competition for the best talent by working with your recruitment professionals to create a staffing strategy that recognizes when you’ll need new hires, fast. A staffing strategy allows your recruiting firm to anticipate your staffing needs and do all the groundwork well ahead of the rush.

Give – and Accept – Feedback

Partnerships flourish when expectations are clear on both sides. Let your recruiting team know what works and what doesn’t, and be willing to listen when they have suggestions about how you can improve the recruitment process on your side. Giving and accepting feedback in a pleasant, constructive way is one of the keys to a great recruiting partnership.
