Dear Hiring Managers,
We recruit with people in mind, but we do it by means of numbers. Recruiting project managers at SourceMatch have one main objective, and it is to provide valuable results to hiring managers they collaborate with. Their business is to understand statistics in such a manner that make the interaction profitable, thus creating a win-win-win situation. Why a triple win you may ask? Because recruiting needs to be a partnership between the hiring manager, the recruitment project manager and the candidate who is to be hired.
Think about how you would develop a general recruitment plan. You would have to review job descriptions. But before that, you would have to consider people finding strategies and use alternative labor pools. You would also have to have an image of how your company is perceived as a workplace from the outside. And as you would go about the process you would hit some roadblocks and you would have to adjust your goals. But these roadblocks you did not plan for could be a setback. This is where a recruitment company could come in handy as it would act as a buffer against the unexpected. Recruitment project managers would be helpful in determining your overall recruitment needs by having well-established business goals.
Or imagine you are on the lookout for a specific talent or that you are looking to hire a large number of skilled workers. How long will it take you, the hiring manager, to hire? How long does the recruitment process take for professional recruiters? Most companies out there would certainly know right off the bat that it takes on average less time to recruit when working with a partner specializing in recruitment. Time is only one of the factors you have to consider, the others include the variety of sources, recruiting research, and thorough process of vetting candidate’s before they even get to you. All of them matter when it comes to making a decision that affects an organization’s operations and growth plans. If you would have to estimate the true cost of hiring, we recommend looking at some statistics to put a value on the process.
You may come across reports saying that hundreds of talented people are going after the same job. And at the same time, you may come across conflicting recruitment statistics that highlight the difficulties of the skills gap and missing talent. Now let’s talk in concrete terms. If you take into consideration stats like “90% of job seekers say that it’s important to work for a company that embraces transparency” or stats like “79% of job seekers say they are likely to use social media in their job search” you may look at those big numbers and jump to the conclusion that finding someone is easy. In reality, it’s not.
Yes, you have to recruit with numbers in mind, but truth to be told you have to have the right numbers and get your facts straight. According to Glassdoor, “on average, each corporate job offer attracts 250 resumes. Of those candidates, 4 to 6 will get called for an interview, and only one will get the job”. In other words, you will pay the cost in time and resources to go through 250 candidates/resumes plus the cost of expertise and tools, not to mention the opportunity costs. If you would outsource the recruiting process to a recruiting partner, they would use their resources in an optimal way. Recruiting agencies live and thrive by means of performance metrics. Recruiting project managers oversee the recruiting process by keeping track of recruiting funnel metrics such as time to source, time to interview, time to hire, etc. They are well aware that coming with better, faster, and more reliable results than their clients could internally is the only measurement of success, and eventually the reason why clients do business with them!
Are you missing anything? You might think that your organization’s internal resources and information are enough. Along with your recruiters, you provide candidates with details on compensation packages and benefits, details on what makes the company an attractive place to work, its mission, vision, and values. It’s easy to miss the fact that attracting talent isn’t the hardest part. Attracting, or rather finding the best talent within the desired timeframe is the most difficult part of the recruiting process. For instance, recruiting project managers at SourceMatch leverage research, intelligent algorithms, multiple compensation market data, and especially proactive measures to identify candidates that wouldn’t otherwise be visible.
Our main priority is to work with clients to enable them to reach candidates that are performing above peer professionals in the market.
