Why is the charging standard of headhunting companies higher than that of general human resources companies?

First, look at the surface, headhunting is expensive?

For example, to recruit a manager with an annual salary of 400,000, the headhunting fee is about 80- 1.2 million. In this way, the cost seems to be relatively high. And someone specifically compared it with traditional recruitment. Traditional recruitment generally has the following ways: newspaper advertisement, talent market recruitment, large-scale website recruitment, recommendation of acquaintances and friends, etc. Recruiting talents through these channels may only cost1-20,000 yuan. This contrast shows that the cost of headhunting is far from so high and seems unworthy.

Second, look inside, headhunters are cheap.

Headhunting service spends tangible costs and funds, but intangible income will be generated immediately, and the fees will naturally be different. First, time efficiency. Most headhunters in Foshan can complete the order within 1-3 months, but some senior positions can't be found for a year or two by traditional recruitment methods. Secondly, the channel, due to the limited source of middle and high-end talents and limited candidates for comparison, often leads to delays or lower standards. Many projects can't be operated or aborted because key talents can't be in place in time. The potential loss paid by the company is not worth it compared with the recruitment fee of headhunters. Needless to say, I guess. At the same time, the recruitment cost of self-recruitment is rigid. Regardless of the outcome, all costs are usually paid. Even if you don't recruit people, all the expenses will be basically not less. Under the same circumstances, headhunting companies charge fees in stages. If the talent is not in place, the fee to be paid to the headhunting company is only a small part.

Third, in the long run, headhunting is free.

The rewards of headhunting are enormous. First of all, good headhunting consultants generally have rich experience in human resource management, and can learn the essence of the concept of employing people from many cases to guide the human resource management of enterprises. Secondly, because headhunters hope that the recommended talents can cooperate with customers for a long time, they will make plans for retaining and employing people for customers based on the actual situation of each talent and the needs of enterprises. Thirdly, when you and headhunters become partners, you can always consult headhunters about the salary trend and development trend of the industry.
