A guide to improving efficiency by capturing innovation from outside recruitment specialists.

Meeting your customer needs is why you are in business.  You do what you do because you do it well and when you focus your energies on your customer's unique needs - your business grows.  Competition is fierce and in order to thrive in business your top priority is to build on your core competency and invest in creating the best customer experience you can.  A powerful method of sticking to your core is to adopt a management practice that leverages transformational outsourcing - leaving all non-core functions of your business to outside specialists that bring in innovations that will make your business more productive and profitable.

Consider recruitment outsourcing - the activity of sourcing, finding, filtering, sorting, and attracting the best talent that meet an organizations standards, culture and goals.  The practice of attracting the best talent requires a significant time and resource investment.  Firms that recognize that sourcing talent is not their core purpose rely on recruiting agencies like Waggware to achieve optimal results that include sourcing the best candidates guaranteed in a cost effective and timely manner.  Relying on outside experts creates accelerated value for your firm by sourcing the best talent every time.

You Need the Best - So Get the Best Candidate Every-time!

1. WIDE NET: Your net of contacts is wide but it may not be as wide as a Recruiter.  Successful recruiting companies like Waggware have access to hundreds of various resume databanks including Workopolis, Monster and Career Builder to name a few.  If you wanted access to all those same databases you're in for costs in excess of tens of thousands of dollars.
2. TAPPED IN: Recruiters focus on being "tapped-in" with the brightest talent.  Recruiters attend and participate at industry events, engage the right social networks and coach top talent on how to enhance their careers.  Furthermore they are a third party and have the unique ability to talk to the passive market - those that may be working for the competition or similar companies to yours and are not actively seeking employment.
3. FILTERS: If you're in the business of meeting your customers unique and specific needs do you want to spend your time understanding how to source resumes effectively, implement behavioural interviews and conduct testing sessions?  Recruiters are specialists that bring innovation to this area of your business.

Realize Efficiencies, Cost savings and Receive Great Advice!

1. FOCUS: Spend your capital on improving your customer experience rather than building a recruiting department.  Scanning through job boards, placing job ads, and hiring recruiters, all take significant resources away from accomplishing your core objectives.  Hire an experienced outsourced recruiter that focuses on honing their recruiting skills every day.
2. SCALABLE INFRASTRUCTURE: A major benefit of outsourcing recruitment is you can use the service only when you need it.  Investing in your own "recruiting real estate" involves purchasing access to Job Boards and potentially hiring recruiters.  Outsourcing this function allows you to leverage the best recruiting tools when you need it the most.
3. SEEK ADVICE: Talent agencies often do so much more than look for talent.  They are a resource to turn to for support when it comes to salary & compensation research, immigration & work visa information and the availability of unique skill sets and where they can be found.

Mitigate Risk!

1. REDUCE TURNOVER: The cost of a bad hire can be as high as a year's Salary when you consider turnover costs (recruiting, job ads, training, hiring).  To mitigate this risk, often a recruiting agency like Waggware will guarantee results.  Never again lose on the cost of a recruiter's salary, placing job ads, and buying job board subscriptions.  An agency like Waggware will provide you with a money back guarantee on failed candidates which involves finding a replacement at no extra charge and/or if no candidate is found your money will be refunded. †
2. TRY BEFORE YOU BUY: If you're not sure how a candidate will fit with-in your environment or culture?  Try before you buy!  Waggware offers a contract-to-hire program which allows you to hire a resource under contract with no obligation.  If you like the performance you simply hire the contractor full-time.
3. INVOICE SUCCESS: Recruiting companies like Waggware only invoice success - meaning there is no cost to conduct a talent search and you only pay when a suitable candidate becomes an employee or contractor for your firm.
