Have you chosen to do business with an external recruiter for your hiring needs? Good initiative! But to optimize your recruiting process, it is not enough to hire an external recruiter. You must collaborate with him!

Here is everything you need to know for this partnership to be successful.

See your recruiter as a partner

Instead of seeing your recruiter as an outsider, learn to treat them as an accomplice in your recruiting success. This is how you make sure you hire the best people who not only have all the skills required for the job, but who also have a personality that fits your company's values well.

Be clear in your requests

It is especially important that you are present at the start of the recruiting process in order to clearly explain your needs to the recruiter you are hiring. Let them know what kind of person you are looking for, what skills and training the candidate should have, what qualities you value in your employees, what important information to know about your company's values and culture, etc. In short, provide him with all the details that will allow him to make a preselection that really corresponds to what you are looking for. Get the most accurate picture of your business and what makes it stand out. Name, if applicable, the awards you have received. The important thing is to provide arguments to the recruiter so that they can make candidates want to work for you. Because it's nice to find the right people, but they also need to be willing to join your team. The recruiter must therefore know your business well and be convincing.

Save time

By taking care of picking out relevant questions and conducting interviews, negotiating salary and benefits, and following up with you and the new hire, a few weeks after they are hired, the recruiter will save you a lot of precious time. This will prevent you from having to start the recruitment process again in a few months or having to manage a candidate who ultimately did not correspond so well to this position. Remember that the recruiter has a book full of potential candidates who correspond to your sector of activity and that he is thus an ally of choice to avoid hours of searching for the rare pearl without forgetting the long process of sorting out CV (preselection).
