Internal recruiting efforts, plus grit and determination, have fueled your hiring so far — but this approach is not as effective as it used to be, and you’ve realized you need some additional help.
Finding the right people has become a challenge and a barrier to the growth of your business.
Your current HR team could use some scalable recruiting capacity.
Personal networking and referrals aren’t enough anymore.

Big Recruiting Challenges
Just because your business is “small” doesn’t mean your recruiting challenges are. Our clients are usually wrestling with one or more of these recruiting challenges:
Capacity
You and your team have enough hats to wear already. Recruiting is usually one more thing on a long list of things to do. Even though recruiting is critically important, it often doesn’t get the focused attention it needs to drive results.
Cost
Recruiting fees are expensive, and can vary 25-40%. Costs can add up quickly if you are trying to fill more than 1-2 positions. Hiring a full-time recruiter is an option if you have enough recruiting work to justify the role, but the additional costs of technology and tools can be prohibitive, especially for small businesses.
Expertise
Recruiting isn’t rocket science, but doing it effectively does take a level of functional expertise that not all companies possess within their existing team. You also need the right level of expertise to shape your strategy and actually do the time-consuming daily work of sourcing, screening, and recruiting.
Infrastructure
Creating standardized processes, leveraging best practices, and utilizing the right recruiting technology and tools enables your hiring team to collaborate more effectively, communicate more quickly with candidates, and make more informed decisions. It can be the difference between recruiting success and failure.
Strategy & Execution
Do you have a recruiting strategy, and does it support your immediate and future talent needs? For many of our clients, recruiting is often reactive and hurried, which can lead to bad hiring decisions. Recruiting, like sales and marketing, needs a strategy and consistent execution to be effective.
So … what are you going to do about it?
Here are your options.
Keep doing what you’re doing and hope for better results.
You have likely been doing this for some time now and know where this option leads.
You can continue to juggle recruiting efforts with your existing team, stretching resources thin while trying to fill open positions.
Your hiring will remain slow, critical positions will stay open, and your team will become increasingly over-capacity, leading to decreased productivity and missed opportunities.
Find a contingency recruiter that specializes in your industry.
Good contingency recruiters charge 25% or more. You can find less expensive options, but you will get what you pay for.
Firms who specialize in a specific industry are often transactional. You will end up paying higher fees for each successful placement, with little to no focus on improving long-term hiring strategies, and at the end of the day, you will face the same challenges again with the next open position.
Hire a full-time recruiting resource.
Full-time or contract recruiters can be a good option to manage your hiring needs and build a consistent talent pipeline.
But the full-time salary and benefits, or higher hourly rate, can strain your budget. Not to mention the cost of an ATS and other necessary recruiting tools.
When hiring needs fluctuate, you’re left with an underutilized resource, leading to inefficiencies and higher costs.
