Don't Shop Around for a Recruiter
A lot of companies only use recruiters every now and again.
They may have a solid HR department that typically finds candidates on its own. But for an executive position or a role that’s particularly hard to fill, they outsource.
Even if it’s only a sometimes or once-in-a-while thing, having a particular recruiter you work with every time is a smart hiring practice.
Those of us at The Source and Recruit Company get to know our clients well over time. While we aim to nail it on the first try, we also pay attention to feedback we get after each experience collaborating to hire.
Every time you start fresh with a new recruiter, there’s a certain learning curve to the relationship. But by using the same recruiter or firm every time, you eventually start to experience a time savings. We get better and better at knowing not just exactly what you’re looking for, but how you like to work.
It’s that nuance in the recruiter-client relationship where a lot of the real value lies.
