The Benefits of Outsourcing Recruitment
There are many benefits for companies that decide to outsource recruitment services. As companies have various talents and services, they may need support in areas that could be lacking. For example, an IT company may outsource their hiring needs to a Recruiting Company, such as SourceMatch. This allows the IT company to focus on its service, while Sourcematch, focuses on supporting the company’s needs to hire the right talent. Or a retail company new to online ordering may need to outsource delivery options, web support, and web design services. When it comes to outsourcing recruitment, there are many other benefits to it. These include: experience level in regards to services, saving time, reducing costs, employment branding, sourcing and retaining talent, and the various functions required as time and demands change. However, more than anything else, engaging in a recruitment partnership enables you to have access to processes, resources and validated best practices that have taken significant efforts to reach a level of expertise that is recognized in the market.
Experience Level
Outsourcing is one way for a company to access a veritable wealth of expertise in an unfamiliar subject area. Many established companies, startups, and even reorganized companies utilize the resources of outsourcing recruitment. They realize that allowing fellow professionals to assist in an unfamiliar area is vital to the growth of the company. The experience level of the company in regards to the level of need is a factor in deciding which recruiting company to use. SourceMatch has over 25 years of professional recruiting experience, and has coined the term “Engaged Recruiting”. We assist established companies, start-ups, or those in need of reorganization. SourceMatch utilizes state-of-the-art technologies, metrics, recruiting, consulting, holistic assessments, and especially a “stay human” approach to improve our clients’ organizations, coming in stark contrast to the traditional recruitment agencies or veritable “resume shops.”
Emphasis on Return-on-Investment (ROI)
Saving money is very important to our clients, and what is even more important is that we increase the effectiveness by treating each hiring decision as an investment decision. Businesses that save money can focus on expansion, employee raises, and boosting morale. SourceMatch saves its clients money, time, and energy that would otherwise be expended finding and reviewing hundreds of resumes, filling back position because a candidate didn’t make it through the first months of employment, or simply employees that should not have been hired in the first place.
It’s our observation that it costs a company between 2 to 6 times a particular job’s annual salary to replace employees due to turnover with factors such as: time invested in searching, interviewing, and onboarding a new hire (across all involved stakeholders), lack of productivity, or cost of lost opportunity. SourceMatch stays ahead of the market trends to avoid the risks that such a hiring decision can bring, allowing our clients to focus on their particular business, rather than spending more time and money learning a new skill.
Access Wisely Combined Recruiting Resources
At SourceMatch, we thrive at searching for and retaining the top talent for our clients. We have access to a plethora of recruiting tools and assessments that we carefully choose and combine into individual solutions for each organization’s needs. These assessments include behavior profiles, skills, and language knowledge. We adjust assessments based on historical data of successful hires and ineffective hiring decisions.
Tap Into a Well of Validated Expertise
As companies decide to outsource recruitment services, they discover that using a specialist delivers what is needed to excel at hiring. Consulting or recruiting services offer organizations the benefit of having an outside approach to problem-solving. SourceMatch has years of experience in consulting and providing recruitment services with which to serve our clients. Their growth and confidence in the employees demonstrate how beneficial outsourcing recruitment can be. With a constant concern for improvement, a partner such as SourceMatch will persist in updating, upgrading and innovating on the client organization’s behalf. It’s part of our core DNA knowing that change is also constant across the global talent demand and availability.
Top Talent Will only Respond to Top Recruitment Practices
Many companies provide a specific service: web design, software programming, and IT services are just a few examples. Finding and retaining top talent, not just any talent is a necessity for those businesses that want to thrive. Outsourcing recruitment allows companies to focus on their organization, while SourceMatch focuses on finding the best fit for their open positions. While most recruiting agencies rely on a “hit-and-run” approach, SourceMatch invests time with each of its clients to truly understand their vision, values, and objectives. By doing so, it allows the hiring managers to dive deep into what truly motivated them to create a job opening in the first place, which most often ties into the organizational culture and growth strategy. This approach is essential to attract top talent, who are especially interested in how they can personally contribute to a company’s innovation and long-term plans.
Retention Starts with Intelligent Recruiting
To retain talent, companies need to know the workforce. Many companies are skilled in certain areas but do not fully understand what is going on in the current workforce. At SourceMatch, we specifically study and utilize how data and trends affect the talent pool, so that our clients have actionable market intelligence. Although retention is the subject of many post-hire efforts, it is a key component to consider when searching for and interviewing candidates. Painting a clear picture of an organization’s culture, vision, mission, values and especially the unwritten expectations before prospective candidates is one of the best ways to avoid a misalignment of expectations once hired. That misalignment is what causes the first slips of motivation for new hires when the true faces of the manager, their new team and sometimes job responsibilities creep in after a few months on the job.
Flexibility is Key in an Ultra-Competitive Global Market
By consulting with SourceMatch, companies that have discovered new growth opportunities to learn can save costs during a restructure or reorganization. Having an outside view can also allow for new insights, new plans for areas of growth and effectiveness of investments. For example, department store retailers that used outside consultants were given plans and ideas for ways to change with the times. They successfully maneuvered through the online market, and have now expanded their profit margins. Other stores did not reach out for support, and we now see them closing their doors.
Candidates Can have an Amazing Recruiting Experience
That’s applicable whether you hire them or not. Allowing a recruiting partner to come up with a fresh perspective opens up more benefits for not only your organization but your prospective candidates as well. From an outsider’s perspective, companies can learn candidate experience analysis and improvement practices. Is your organization candidate-oriented and willing to change in a global market where the Skills Gap affects more and more companies?
Have you had a consultation with SourceMatch to check your candidate focus and areas for growth? We would be happy to assist in helping your company to reach higher profits and be ultra-competitive in a global economy driven by one key resource: the best talent.
The benefit of Outsourcing Recruiting Services
As you can see, there are many benefits for an organization that chooses to outsource recruiting. Experience, reduction in costs, access to resources, branding, sourcing and retaining top talent, reorganizing, and improving functions are just some of the benefits you can gain when SourceMatch provides your recruiting outsourcing services.
