WOULD EXCLUSIVITY BENEFIT YOU?

Having a vacancy in your business can result from good or bad circumstances, it could be the result of many reasons, here are my top 5;

1. exceeding market expectations and growing your business
2. restructuring your business
3. poor employee performance
4. gross misconduct
5. an employee handing their notice in.

Whatever the reason, it's hard to understand where to start and identify the best way forward for you. I know how difficult it can be, even more so in the current market, especially with so many redundancies being made, and recruitment inboxes being full of CVs.

You may (or may not) have a recruitment process that works every time or only works sometimes, either way there are many ways to find the best talent for your business including ;

1. Personal & employee network
2. Dedicated in-house recruitment or HR team
3. Advertising, either digitally on website, job boards & social media, or hard copy in newspapers and trade magazines
4. Reactive to CVs sent directly to your inbox
5. Recruitment Agency

Do you use an agency to recruit?

If so, how many? 1? 2? 3? 4? 5? Unlimited? Do they offer you a service or solution?

Do you have a PSL restricted to 3, 4, 5 agencies?

Do you have a signed agreement for exclusivity with an agency?

However you recruit, it's your prerogative but I'm here to explain some of the reasons why working with a Specialist Recruitment & Headhunting agency exclusively will deliver you the very best results, culminating in you hiring the very best talent in the market.

1. Let’s not beat around the bush here. You'll get our full commitment to filling your vacancy role. It's a myth that you'll get more effort from a recruiter when the role is in competition but but what really happens is a short burst of activity from the recruiter, and because you're not 100% committed; we therefore put our energy into clients who work with us as partners.

2. You take the focus off speed and put the emphasis back on quality. You can't make a crucial hiring decision based on the best candidate we can find in the quickest time can you? Would you hire a brain surgeon because they could do the job fastest?

3. Exclusivity means more time to fully qualify the talent and conduct a robust pre-screening process including full assessment of skills, experience and attitude. How great would it be to never interview a poor candidate again?!

4. The best person isn't always the one looking for a new role. Exclusivity gives us the time to conduct a thorough search and selection process, this includes exploring networks, online resources, social media networks and tapping in to the passive talent market which counts for 70% of top talent.

5. Your confidentiality is preserved as the role is not being 'touted around town' by five or six recruiters, each speaking to the same candidates about the role which can be damaging.

6. Exclusivity means you will not have the issue of recruiters referring the same talent so no issues with candidate 'introductions'

7. Dealing with one competent recruiter means no multiple agency briefings and multiple contacts to deal with. More time means you can give us a detailed job brief. The better the brief, the better the potential of finding the best match for your role.

8.Your brand identity and image is improved by using one recruiter, because your vacancy is not devalued in the eyes of talent, who will be suspicious if the job is represented by multiple recruiters.

9. The responsibility for success is shifted to us. If the job is given to one recruiter on an exclusive basis, we own the problem allowing you to focus on what your day job.

10. Working exclusively, gives us the opportunity to get to know each other, to better understand each others business and capabilities which sees better results. A recruiter is for life not just for Christmas!

I hope you enjoyed reading Why exclusivity benefits you, and hope you understand there are many options out there for you.

I help businesses grow by identifying the very best talent in the market, thus developing stable teams, excellent work culture and long standing, loyal and committed employees.
