Egret Consulting – When is it time to integrate a third-party recruiter into your hiring strategy?
Hiring Advice
Your internal recruiting team is probably doing a good job for your organization. There are, however, always roles they just can’t seem to fill or present you with the qualified talent to succeed. So, when is it the right time for integrating a third-party recruiter and search firm to supercharge your efforts, ultimately saving you money and time?
You should partner with a professional search firm like Egret Consulting for specialized roles, niche skills, or unexpected hiring surges. This should be part of your ongoing hiring strategy. Consider working with us when roles remain open beyond 6 weeks. Our highly specialized industry expertise will tap into external talent pools with niche skillsets not readily available to you internally. When sudden hiring surges overwhelm your capacity, partner with us to manage these spikes. When you’re simply not finding the right talent to address your needs and applications, allow us to fill the gap.
Consistent feedback at the NAED Western Region Conference was that manufacturers, distributors and rep agencies were struggling to find the level of expertise required to succeed in growing / emerging technologies and evolving go to market strategies.
