Here are some of the TOP benefits we’ve heard:

1. We save you a lot of time digging through resumes, screening initial applicants, and coordinating schedules and interviews.
2. We allow you to see only the best, most qualified candidates, after they’ve been screened and interviewed – leaving the company with just a few interviews to conduct.
3. We know how to properly screen and filter applicants.
4. We save you time and energy in coordinating the process, from posting on job boards, to gathering the information for the position, to screening applicants.
5. We understand how culture works, and look for candidates that not only match the position, but match the culture of the company as well.
6. We are able to make the process happen much faster, as it’s our sole focus, whereas a hiring manager within the company is often tasked with many responsibilities.
7. We specialize in finding individuals within finance and accounting.
8. Before the company sees any candidates, we’ve taken the time to understand your company, the culture, and the needs of the position and then deliver exactly what you are looking for. The process doesn’t stop there, with frequent check-ins, follow ups, and ongoing support.
9. We focus on a solution for the company, and not filling a position.
10. We make the process less stressful, less complicated, and at the end of the day make the hiring manager look good!

Do they listen? This may seem like such a basic requirement that it shouldn’t even be listed, it’s an important one to discuss. The truth is many people ask questions without listening or participate in a conversation without actually hearing what the other person is saying. You might not even notice it right away, but chances are you’ll be able to tell in their delivery of the results. For example, if you ask for someone with a particular background or experience and they deliver someone completely opposite back to you – with no explanation or reasoning.

Prompt, attentive, and responsive. You want someone who is willing to go the extra mile, handle phone calls and emails in a timely manner, and take care of requests that are made related to the tasks and assignment at hand. Pay attention to what your recruiter is (or isn’t) doing for you. A good or great recruiter will go beyond the call of duty.

Do they ask great questions? Recruiters who care about and understand their client will ask great questions. They’ll prod, pick, and ponder until the have it all right. Asking the right questions, means they’ll provide the right solution at the end. Ultimately this will save you time, effort, and energy in the long run.

Next, where does the job stop? The end of the relationship isn’t after the fee has been paid, the relationship should continue on from there. A good recruiter has great follow up and ensures that their placement still fits, even after the fact.

Do they generally care? Whether it’s about your budget, time constraints, or even your personal demands – the question is, do they take an interest in meeting those needs for you. A great recruiter has wit, tenacity, and even empathy. You want someone who can get the job done, and yet maintain relationships and that human connection along the way.

1. You don’t have time to fire – if you’ve postponed firing an unfit employee, or you’ve delayed keeping the wrong person in a position, it’s definitely time to seek some outside help.

2. Your team is suffering because they are doing an unfilled job. Is your team working overtime, filling in for a lost employee, or are their overwhelmed working on tasks that are out of their normal scope?

3. You haven’t made time to post an ad about your opening. You have a job opening, yet you haven’t posted it on the company website, outside sources, or other places where you normally find a new hire. If you aren’t looking for a new candidate, it could be a long time before they walk in your day.

4. You’ve got stacks of resumes to reviews and no time to review them. Resumes have come through, yet you haven’t the time to review them, schedule interviews, and move on to the next phase.

5. Your recent new hires haven’t worked out. If you’ve hired unsuccessfully and don’t want to make the same mistakes again, it’s a good time to consider working with an outside source.

A staffing service can take away the demands of these five symptoms of needing outside source. If you would like to know more about how our services could support your hiring endeavors, please visit our services page.

Do you know the feeling?

A hiring-crunch isn’t any fun and can often lead to making a bad hiring decision just so you can be done with it and get back to your regular to-do list.

This is where a reputable, dependable, and trustworthy staffing service can literally save your…. Well you can fill in that blank. When using an outside third party to find your next key staff member you not only save the time, the stress, and the hassle but you could literally save money too.

You’ve heard the statistics before; it takes more money to hire the wrong person than it does to find the right person and spend money doing it. When you hire right the first time you get someone who is qualified, fits into your company culture, and can easily provide the skills you need to get the job done. However, when you do it on your own and when you are in a crunch an emotional sense of urgency can cloud judgment – making it even more critical to have an outside objective third party help with the decision.

It’s best to think and plan ahead so you can avoid this “crunch” – even if you don’t need someone right now begin looking at various companies who specialize in your industry so if you ever do get in a crunch, all it will take is a simple phone call to smooth things out.
