Maximizing Top Talent to Recruit Top Talent
A boutique recruitment firm focused on staffing technical, development, and IT talent for a wide range of companies across the U.S. encountered a resource issue of its own. The client conducted several hundred searches and placements on an annual basis with a team of 20+ in-house recruiters. However, the client’s CEO was concerned that the recruitment staff spent far too much time on inefficient tasks that did not reflect their core value to the business.
The client’s recruiting staff researched candidates, curated resumes and candidate profiles, and assembled hiring manager lists for new business development. These undertakings were time consuming and detracting from time that could have been spent on activities that impacted their bottom line. The client’s CEO wanted the recruiters to focus entirely on developing relationships with new customers and candidates and on effectively filling open job requisitions. In the past, the client had hired research assistants to assist with this work, but they had challenges with morale, turnover, consistency, and reliability of the work output.
