What Should You Look For In Your Recruitment Consultant?
Selecting the right recruitment consultant for your company is crucial. As clients you want to know that you are working with specialists who have a deep understanding of your market, your business, and its position within that market. A good recruitment consultant should also be able to fulfil two important advisory roles. They should be:
A strategic advisor with whom you can consult on all aspects of the recruitment process, such as:
- When to start looking
- How to structure your recruitment process
- Who to involve from the business
- Timescale for interviews
- Interview format - how to get the best from them
- Criteria to look for in the right candidate
- Advice on the likely availability of candidates with those criteria, and any potential need for flexibility
- Advice on salary budget and benefits package, and how they compare in the market
A commercial advisor with whom you can work in partnership to achieve the right long term solution to drive your business forward. A consultant:
- Who is interested in what you're looking to achieve, not what's in it for them
- Who will work to understand your business and the reasons behind your plans to recruit
- Who will work with you to find a long term solution, not a short term fix
