Is outsourcing your recruiting worth the investment?
I think it depends on your unique organization and goals.
Here are a few questions to ask before hiring external help for recruiting:
– What are our core competencies in recruiting and where do we lack expertise?
– How do our current time-to-hire and quality of hire stack up to our competitors?
– Are we able to keep up with the scaling needs of our growing organization?
– Is our candidate experience and employer brand benefitting from our current recruitment process?
– Do we have the necessary tools and technology to effectively compete for top talent?
– What specific roles/departments are we struggling to recruit for?
– What is our budget for outsourced recruiting and what ROI are we going to gain?
– How will we measure the success of an outsourced recruiting partnership?
– What are our company’s strategic goals for recruiting over the next year, 2-5 years, and beyond?
If this sounds like a foreign language to you, it could be worth speaking internally with your team to define your goals as well as reaching out to an external HR professional for guidance.
