What are the advantages of using headhunting services
Huge time savings
How long does it typically take you to craft a job description, advertise a position, scour social media, review resumes, administer assessments, conduct background checks, and conduct an interview for a single candidate?
If your response to that query is “far too much time,” then enlisting the services of a headhunting agency like Talent Hub could be an ideal solution for you.
A headhunting agency utilizes headhunters — or in our case, talent scouts — to handle the heavy lifting: they assess, interview, and evaluate candidates on your behalf. You no longer have to spend hours poring over numerous resumes at your desk. All you need to do is inform us about your hiring needs, wait for approximately a week, and then attend interviews with the shortlisted candidates.
You receive the top-notch candidates
While posting on job boards is a method to entice talent, it frequently yields mixed results. Regrettably, job boards and marketplaces typically lack thorough candidate screening or vetting processes. The proficiency ratings and competencies showcased on a job seeker’s profile are often self-reported, leaving uncertainty about their legitimacy unless extensive screening is conducted.
By engaging a headhunting agency, you can rest assured that you’ll only receive candidates who:
- Possess the required skills
- Align with your budget
- Fit seamlessly into your company culture and
- Are dependable and trustworthy
At Talent Hub, we employ various methods to evaluate candidates. Each candidate undergoes the following stages:
- Resume review: We assess basic qualifications such as relevant experience, skill set, and educational background.
- Online grammar and reading comprehension assessment: This ensures that candidates can effectively communicate and express themselves in written and spoken English.
- Behavioral interview: This step enables us to identify candidates who align with your company’s culture, goals, and values. It also allows us to assess their personalities.
- Reference and background check: Upon shortlisting candidates, we conduct a comprehensive reference and background check to verify their character and credibility.
For certain roles, we also administer technical skills tests on behalf of the client. Overall, our screening process ensures that we only present the finest candidates to employers.
You have the option to recruit for specialized positions.
Certain positions prove challenging to fill, prompting businesses to enlist the assistance of headhunting services.
Rather than employing a broad approach, headhunters target individuals possessing the requisite skill set and qualifications. Leveraging our existing talent pool, we proactively reach out to qualified candidates rather than relying solely on applicants.
Headhunting services are particularly beneficial when recruiting for leadership roles, executive positions, or positions within highly specialized niches.
And yes — hiring remotely means you can save as much as 80% in hiring costs.
You can fully integrate hires into your company
Using headhunting services means nixing the middleman. After you pick a candidate, we hand the relationship over to you and you can then start onboarding your new assistant into your team. Without a staffing agency to act as a go-between, you’re free to fully integrate your new remote team member into your company.
This means:
- You have the opportunity to build a strong company culture. You’ll be able to share your values, goals, and work style directly with your remote assistant.
- You’ll have more control over the tasks you can delegate.
- Communication is faster and clearer. Without a third-party management company, you’ll be able to give feedback straight to your staff.
- You can choose what benefits or incentives to provide.
Enjoy high retention rates
Finally, engaging a headhunting agency entails partnering with employees who are likely to remain with your company for an extended period. As candidates undergo comprehensive screening and are tailored to your specific requirements, collaboration is expected to be more effective. They will possess the knowledge, attitude, and skills that align with your expectations.
