How Recruiters Make Decisions
If you’re frustrated with lack of or slow response from your recruiting firm, take a minute to think about these things:
*Did you communicate the urgency of your staffing need?
*Have you been responsive in the past when presented with candidates?
*Is your compensation range competitive?
*Are you a shopper … wanting to do the recruiting firm’s work instead of establishing a partnership where they can do the work for you?
*Is your hiring process so lengthy that top candidates often get other offers first?
*Do you conduct cattle calls and enlist three or more firms simultaneously?
*Are you constantly competing with your recruiting firm?
*Do you continue to change your specifications as you interview more people?
