Three tips for selecting the right flat fee recruitment provider

pitfalls of flat fee recruitment in 2012Looking at cutting your recruitment costs by using a flat fee model? This option can provide many advantages. But to benefit from these, keep three tips in mind:

1. Check their reach:

How broad is your potential provider’s recruitment reach? How many different channels do they actually use to advertise your vacancy? Checking their reach will reveal whether you’ll attract the best of all the available candidates, both those who are looking - and those who aren’t.

2. Ask about expertise:

Are they as up to date with recruitment as they are with recruitment technology? Is their approach conventional or more cutting edge? Assessing their level of expertise will help bring in the right new recruit.

3. Get personal:

Look at how much your potential flat fee provider wants to get to know you and your goals. Do they take the time to get to know you? This is good commercial sense, not just good customer service. Choose a provider who asks you detailed and high quality questions and you’re much more likely to enjoy a high quality response when you’re advertising a vacancy.

1. Make your recruitment pipeline more sustainable

Cutting the cost of hiring starts with creating a more effective recruitment pipeline.

By developing a sustainable pipeline you can actively reduce the hidden costs of hiring and retaining the talent that will grow your business.

2. Mix up your recruitment model

Think hybrid to help cut the cost of recruitment in the year ahead. Adopting a hybrid model - combining in-house resource with professional external expertise - reduces the pressure on your recruitment model by giving you increased flexibility while allowing you to maintain a consistent standard of quality
