If you or your business has been contemplating the benefits of using a recruitment agency as your primary recruitment strategy, this article is for you.


Recruiting for large-scale projects can be a difficult and time-consuming experience. Clients may be tempted to use multiple channels or recruiters to source quality candidates. 


In this article, TRS Staffing Solutions (TRS) discusses how engaging and investing in your chosen recruiter may prove more fruitful in your search for the right candidate.

1 | Commitment

Using multiple recruiters in your staffing search can slow down the sourcing process. If many recruitment companies are staffing for the same project, they will be far more cautious as to how many resources they should dedicate to your search.


When utilising a single recruiter, the client receives the recruiter’s full commitment to filling their vacant role. A client may think they get more effort from a recruiter when there is competition, but this can instead encourage short bursts of activity from the recruiter. Consistent dedication is prioritised for clients who trust their recruiter to solely provide for them. This also applies to candidates looking for roles.


2 | Responsibility

It can be a difficult experience to keep up to date with multiple channels and contacts trying to find candidates for you, especially on top of the client’s role within the business. This can place a lot of responsibility and stress on the client to juggle multiple commitments, which can result in costing the company both time and money.


The responsibility for success can instead be shifted to a single recruiter, meaning they take ownership of this process on your behalf so that you can prioritise your work. If you find that the recruiter fails you, the business relationship will end.


3 | Quality

A lack of time to source candidates can mean that companies fail to hire the best-suited person for the role. 

When utilising a recruiter, the client can take the focus off speed and back on quality. ‘Exclusivity’ means the recruiter has time to thoroughly search for ideal candidates using well-maintained talent pipelines.


It also allows the recruiter to take advantage of all of their resources in the talent search, creating a thorough, detailed talent search across talent networks, online communities, and social media pages. Clients expressing trust in a specific recruiter are likely to have exclusive access to the best candidates sourced.

4 | Confidentiality

Contradictory messages can be a risk when using multiple recruiters. This can impact the perception of the company and create significant confusion if multiple recruiters are contacting the same candidates with varying messages.


A single recruiter, such as TRS, can preserve client confidentiality when seeking excellent candidates. This ensures that all candidates receive consistent information, and are searched for consistently using the requirements from the client. One dedicated recruiter also improves brand image for the client when disclosed, as the talent perception of the need for hire is not devalued.

Frequently asked questions about using a recruiter

Can a recruiter help us reach passive candidates we wouldn’t find otherwise?

Absolutely.


Specialist recruiters like TRS Staffing have a refined talent pool of passive candidates who might not actively be applying to jobs. These candidates are often experts who are well-established in their roles and might not necessarily be visible through job boards.


What should we look for in a recruiting partner?

When choosing a recruiting partner, you can look out for the following things:

  • Global reach combined with local reach
  • Areas of specialism
  • Deep industry knowledge
  • Proven track record
  • Transparent communication

Do we need external recruiters, or can our internal team handle current and upcoming hiring needs?

This really depends on the scale, urgency, and complexity of your hiring needs. If you have new projects or increased business demand, then external recruiters can help to turn things around quicker.


At TRS, we support internal teams by accelerating hiring and tapping into hard-to-reach talent to reduce the cost per hire. Our specialist recruiters work as an extension of your team.
