Most think that, for less money, they can post a job ad on one of the big career websites and/or their own website and achieve the same result a professional third-party recruiter will. However, that is rarely the case. Ironically, companies think very little about paying professional fees charged by their outside accounting and legal firms or even to the other consultants who promise cost-cutting and streamlining miracles in other areas of operations. Yet, when faced with brain drains, talent deficiencies or the need to replace one employee with a better one, their thoughts too often turn to parsimony. This K-mart mentality belies and contradicts their stated objectives to “hire the best!” Professional recruiting firms, like Blackbird Personnel, LLC, provide much more than a database of candidates. Employers can reap many benefits to using a recruiting firm to help fill its hiring needs: 1. Time and Money - While recruiters are sourcing, screening and presenting qualified candidates, your hiring managers and human resources teams remain productive in their respective primary job functions, which saves your company time and money. In most cases, recruiters can help you successfully hire a worker in a fraction of the time it would take to do it on your own. Recruiters go far beyond the customary process of finding candidates through job boards or advertising; industry and educational boards, cold call recruiting and networking is what they do best. This assures you of virtually unlimited resources at your disposal! 2. Candidate Reach - while an ad on a job site will gain response mostly from active seekers; recruiters have extensive networks of passive top performers who will learn of your company and its opportunities only through direct contact by a recruiter. This increases the pool of qualified candidates that can be presented to you. Recruiter will only present you with top talent! 3. Specialization - If the employer chooses a recruiting firm that specializes in its industry, the recruiter working on the assignment can source candidates more efficiently because he/she has expertise in your industry and its language and job functions, and understands the roles within your company and how the available position fits into the whole. 4. Perspective - Recruiters, especially those who are industry-specific, possess a wealth of information about your industry and can provide valuable insight on the organizational structure of your company, its position, vision and competitive compensation packages. 5. Beyond Sourcing - Once recruiters source and present qualified candidates, their job does not stop there. They remain a valuable partner throughout the entire hiring process: managing candidate expectations, collecting and presenting feedback to both parties, negotiating terms, and making every effort to secure a win-win scenario. Also, throughout this process, recruiters will ensure that your organization and its available positions are represented in a proper and appropriate manner. A professional recruiter will work very hard for you!

WHY EMPLOYERS SHOULD USE A RECRUITING FIRM
Some employers still resist using an outside party to locate and source qualified candidates. Most think that, for less money, they can post a job ad on one of the big career websites and/or their own website and achieve the same result a professional third-party recruiter will. However, that is rarely the case. Ironically, companies think very little about paying professional fees charged by their outside accounting and legal firms or even to the other consultants who promise cost-cutting and streamlining miracles in other areas of operations. Yet, when faced with brain drains, talent deficiencies or the need to replace one employee with a better one, their thoughts too often turn to parsimony. This K-mart mentality belies and contradicts their stated objectives to “hire the best!”
Professional recruiting firms, like Blackbird Personnel, LLC, provide much more than a database of candidates. Employers can reap many benefits to using a recruiting firm to help fill its hiring needs:
1. Time and Money - While recruiters are sourcing, screening and presenting qualified candidates,
your hiring managers and human resources teams remain productive in their respective primary job functions, which saves your company time and money. In most cases, recruiters can help you successfully hire a worker in a fraction of the time it would take to do it on your own. Recruiters go far beyond the customary process of finding candidates through job boards or advertising; industry and educational boards, cold call recruiting and networking is what they do best. This assures you of virtually unlimited resources at your disposal!
2. Candidate Reach - while an ad on a job site will gain response mostly from active seekers; recruiters have extensive networks of passive top performers who will learn of your company and its opportunities only through direct contact by a recruiter. This increases the pool of qualified candidates that can be presented to you. Recruiter will only present you with top talent!
3. Specialization - If the employer chooses a recruiting firm that specializes in its industry, the recruiter
working on the assignment can source candidates more efficiently because he/she has expertise in your industry and its language and job functions, and understands the roles within your company and how the available position fits into the whole.
4. Perspective - Recruiters, especially those who are industry-specific, possess a wealth of information
about your industry and can provide valuable insight on the organizational structure of your company, its position, vision and competitive compensation packages.
5. Beyond Sourcing - Once recruiters source and present qualified candidates, their job does not stop
there. They remain a valuable partner throughout the entire hiring process: managing candidate expectations, collecting and presenting feedback to both parties, negotiating terms, and making every effort to secure a win-win scenario. Also, throughout this process, recruiters will ensure that your organization and its available positions are represented in a proper and appropriate manner.
