Why do some companies find headhunters to recruit for themselves at the same time?

Recruitment is divided into ordinary job recruitment and high-end talent recruitment. Ordinary job recruitment companies can generally recruit through the Internet, the talent market and other channels, while it is more difficult for high-end talents to recruit suitable candidates quickly and accurately. In addition to the above channels, we often recruit through headhunting companies.

Advantages of working with headhunters:

(1) It is faster to recruit through headhunting than through general recruitment. Headhunting companies are very active and have their own talent pool. It can quickly lock the search scope in a short time, find the candidate that the enterprise wants, quickly establish contact with the candidate, and communicate with the candidate one-on-one through closed channels to effectively achieve the recruitment goal.

2 headhunting recruitment is more accurate than general recruitment. Because headhunting companies mainly recruit people from the same positions in rival companies. Through professional interviews or tests and the later background investigation report of candidates, the candidates are comprehensively evaluated. Through the evaluation report, enterprises can more comprehensively judge whether candidates are suitable for the position, ensure the accuracy of talent selection and improve the recruitment quality of enterprises, so the phenomenon of leaving during probation is less. Moreover, after the candidate is successfully recommended and goes to work, the headhunter will provide a series of services to help the candidate adapt to the position of the new company as soon as possible and avoid the risks brought by failed recruitment.

③ The candidates recruited by headhunting companies are better than those recruited generally, which can greatly reduce the recruitment risk. This is because excellent talents are often won over and reused by former bosses, which is rare in the recruitment market. Senior talent job-hopping likes the recommendation of headhunting companies or friends, which can get the buffer of salary negotiation. Even the talents in job fairs, newspapers, internet or other media advertisements often change jobs frequently because of their poor interpersonal skills, high self-evaluation and difficulty in cooperating with others. Regular headhunting companies have extensive search networks, and repeated screening, resume verification or personnel inspection of recommended talents are efficient, timely and accurate, which can avoid human error.

Headhunting companies will play a good role as a bridge and lubricant between enterprises and applicants. Many problems, such as salary and welfare, resignation of former enterprise candidates, lifting of non-competition and so on. , you can successfully complete the appointment of candidates through the coordination of headhunting companies.

Disadvantages of cooperation with headhunters: the cost is relatively high, because headhunters charge 25%-35% service fees for operating positions, which is much higher than the cost paid by employers themselves.
