What Kind Of Information To Gather Before You Work With A Recruiter

Written By Matthew Burzon, SHRM-SCP

A recruiter can be your best ally in hiring. To make the most of the relationship, be prepared going into your first conversation or two. 

Here are some of the things we at The Source and Recruit Company are interested in finding out right away when we work with a new client:

👉  The work culture and style of the workplace

👉  The sort of qualifications and personality characteristics that are important to you in a candidate

👉  How you expect the relationship with a recruiter to unfold — what responsibilities do you want to hand over, and which would you prefer to own?

👉  If you have a particular role you’re hoping to hire for, come armed with as much information as you can provide about that position

The relationship you have with a recruiter is somewhat customizable, so don’t be afraid to be vocal about your expectations and needs.
