The same principles apply to choosing a recruitment consultancy as when selecting other service providers. A company must consider whether outsourcing a personnel-management service to a third party is worthwhile. The following points argue in favor of hiring a recruitment consultancy:
- The quality of the service is higher than if in-house staff provided it, because the recruitment consultant has specifically trained expertise.
- When there is a change in an executive position, recruitment consultants handle the situation confidentially, which is difficult to achieve internally.
- It is in a company’s interest to fill open positions quickly and with the highest level of competence. Its own HR department does not have the resources available to a specialized recruitment consultant.
- The recruitment consultancy brings the industry knowledge and experience required for the project. They are specialized in headhunting.
- If a recruitment consultancy conducts the hiring process, a satisfactory result is achieved more quickly.
- Methodically sound selection procedures make it possible to compare candidates against those from competing companies when assessing them.
- The recruitment consultancy has a comprehensive, broad and international network of contacts.
Recruitment consultants as an external perspective in employee selection
Unlike a company’s HR department, an external recruitment consultancy finds it easier to assess a candidate appropriately. Professional recruitment consultants do not lack credibility. It is their specific expertise to present an open position factually and neutrally and to weigh the situation with the candidate. Their many years of experience and their assessment of different candidates across various industries and projects make them impartial advisors. Their objectivity is not influenced by internal dependencies and power struggles.
