Is this blasphemy……….There is Value in Allowing Your Staffing and Recruiting Company to Perform First-Level Candidate Screening!! In today's competitive job market, efficient and effective hiring processes are crucial for businesses to secure top talent. One highly beneficial strategy for companies is to allow staffing and recruiting firms to conduct the initial level of candidate screening………..this model, significantly enhance the hiring process in several ways. Expertise and Specialization - Staffing and recruiting companies specialize in finding the right candidates for various roles across different industries. Their expertise allows them to quickly identify the most suitable candidates based on the specific requirements and qualifications needed for a position. Recruiters are adept at recognizing potential and fit beyond what a resume might show, leveraging their experience and industry knowledge to assess candidates holistically versus only from words on paper. Time and Resource Efficiency - Allowing a recruiting company to handle the first level of candidate screening saves considerable time and resources for the hiring company. By outsourcing this initial step, internal HR teams can focus on other critical tasks such as strategic planning, employee engagement, and retention.   Quality of Candidates - Recruiting firms have access to extensive networks and databases of potential candidates. They employ various screening techniques, including behavioral interviews, skills assessments, and reference checks, to ensure that only the best candidates are moved forward. This rigorous screening process results in higher quality candidates reaching the interview stage, increasing the likelihood of successful hires. Focused Interviews - When staffing companies perform the initial screening, the candidates that reach the interview stage have already been vetted for basic qualifications and fit. This allows hiring managers to concentrate on deeper, more specific aspects of the candidate’s experience, cultural fit, and potential for growth within the company. It makes interviews more productive and meaningful, focusing on strategic alignment rather than basic eligibility. Scalability and Flexibility - Recruiting firms provide scalability and flexibility that in-house teams may lack, especially during periods of rapid growth or high turnover. They can quickly adapt to changing hiring needs and provide a continuous pipeline of candidates, ensuring that business operations are not disrupted due to staffing shortages. Allowing a staffing and recruiting company to perform the first level of candidate screening provides significant value by leveraging specialized expertise, saving time and resources, ensuring higher quality candidates, enabling focused interviews, and offering scalability. This partnership not only streamlines the hiring process but also enhances the overall effectiveness of the company's recruitment strategy.

One of the key elements of modern talent sourcing is programmatic job advertising – a term ported over from the marketing realm – which automates the job ad buying process and offers HR teams data-driven decision-making and real-time adjustments. As the recruitment landscape becomes more performance-driven and transparent, programmatic job advertising is increasing in popularity and utility. #JobAdvertising #Recruiting #Automation

Hiring more recruiters won't solve your talent acquisition challenges..... Increasing your recruiter headcount might seem like the solution to finding the best candidates for your open positions, but it’s not always the case. Hiring more staffing agencies that are not properly vetted won't help either. Sure, job postings and more recruiters can bring in applications, but this approach often falls short in delivering the quality and fit you need as a hiring manager. Here’s why: Quantity Over Quality: More recruiters may lead to more candidates, but not necessarily the right ones. It’s crucial to focus on targeting and attracting the best fit rather than sifting through a sea of resumes. Inefficient Processes: Without a streamlined and strategic hiring process, even a large recruiting team can struggle to identify top talent. It’s about working smarter, not harder. Candidate Experience: Generic postings and mass recruitment efforts can lead to a poor candidate experience. Personalized and targeted outreach is far more effective in engaging high-quality candidates. To create the best recruiting environment it takes the right recruiter to find the right candidate. #Recruitment #TalentAcquisition #HiringTips

“Staffing Agencies are eXPenSivE” Actually, they can save you a lot money + time. How? 👇 Spending money on LinkedIn job posts, billboards, paid ad spend, and other methods ADD UP, draining your budget with uncertain results. Staffing agencies have extensive networks and resources to find qualified candidates quickly, saving you time and resources on recruitment efforts. (Charles Joseph boasts a 10-day contract signed to offer accepted rate for direct hire placements -just saying!) They handle the entire hiring process, from sourcing to screening, reducing the burden on your internal HR team and allowing them to focus on core business activities. Every day you go without filling that crucial role, your business is losing money due to decreased productivity and missed opportunities. Let staffing agencies help you secure top talent at competitive rates. This minimizes the risk of costly hiring mistakes! . . Follow my company Charles Joseph and myself Charles Castaldo III

PSA alert for agency recruitment professionals (could apply to all professionals): I'm not one for vanity metrics but if you're an agency recruiter today with sub-500 connections despite being in recruitment for 3+ years, that's not a good look. There are VERY, VERY, few markets where your hiring managers and candidates are NOT on LinkedIn. There are also very, very rare situations where you have to re-establish your LinkedIn bc it got hacked and/or you're scared of your ex-boss/noncompete issues. Most people will just have ONE LinkedIn account for a decent while which is why such a low level of connections is a bit of an outlier and 🚩 . There is a decent LinkedIn population in most markets (especially if we're talking white collar niches). Thus, I wanted to share this first PSA: 1. Make sure to build your LinkedIn robustly! As a headhunter/agency recruiter, it's important these days to show others you got some semblance of a network. This is only going to help your prospecting efforts and career. And this BONUS PSA: 2. DON'T FORGET TO ASK FOR TESTIMONIALS on LinkedIn! Don't be shy - this is also an important element. If you make a placement, if you've helped a client/candidate out even if you didn't place them or make a placement: Ask, ask, ASK for testimonials! In light of that sentiment, here's an exercise I'd highly recommend you to do RIGHT NOW: Ask 5 people to write you a LinkedIn testimonial. A sweet note should do the trick. You'll be surprised how many are happy to do it for you! Best of luck! #r2r #rec2rec #headhunter #sales #headhunters #recruiter #recruitmenttraining #careertip #careeradvice

In agency recruiting, you can always get another client, another candidate, another role, another commission check. What can you never get more of? Time. Therefore, knowing exactly where to spend it is crucial. So, here are two (2) very simple criteria for deciding which clients/candidates are worth your time: 👇🏻 Clients (billable and fillable): 1) Billable: Does the client have the budget to pay a fee? More importantly, are they ready, willing, and eager to do so if the right candidate is put in front of them? 2) Fillable: Are there actual candidates that can do the job they want? Or are they looking for a three-footed, left-handed, right-handed, loch ness monster, unicorn, purple squirrel? Remember, we’re recruiters, not magicians. We find talent, not create it. Candidates (placeable and closable): 1) Placeable: Can the candidate do the job? Does their current role and/or background mimic the responsibilities of the opening you're recruiting for? 2) Closable: Will the candidate take the job? Nothing worse than getting to the finish line with a candidate who was window shopping the whole time, but you never knew because you didn’t ask the right questions up front. 💯 Want to immediately improve your desk? - Focus on clients who are billable and have roles which are fillable - Work with candidates who are placeable AND closable #MidweekMindset #EasyShift #WorldOfDifference
