Choosing a staffing agency is a very different process than it used to be. Before, you had multiple giant “talent mills” that funneled strangers through a system. You tested their fit – sometimes it worked, and sometimes it did not.
Unfortunately, this also wasted thousands of dollars and hours you would never get back.
Despite the best efforts of the best recruiters, recruiting agencies began to look almost like the dreaded “second option” to hiring. Businesses preferred hiring direct whenever they could. It was cheaper, and the talent was often more promising if you could hire direct rather than trusting the word of an agency rep.
This is changing, however as the industry moves online. With the decentralization driven by the web, entire economies are built around individual people. Those economies are fostered through various media and become increasingly personal.
The gift of the Internet is a talent agency that is both personal and scalable. Here is what you should look for in any online talent agency you come across.
They Have Lots of Connections
Through a wealth of increasingly decentralized economies, there is opportunity for a recruiter to draw from a bigger pool of talent.
Places they have worked before, people they have known over the course of their life – these can all be directed right into the pool of talent they draw from to find your ideal candidate.
So, before choosing a staffing agency, you want to get a solid look at the agency’s resume. What have they been doing all these years? Where have they been? Who have they hired? Do people say good things about them?
All of this can be discovered from the company website, possibly a conversation with a sales rep, or maybe you get a referral for the company’s services.
They Have a Reliable Hiring Structure
Hiring online can be tremendously fast and effective if done by the right people, with the right model. We covered the talent pool a bit, but that is just the beginning of setting off a great hiring plan.
