A few recommendations for successful partnerships with outside recruiting
resources:

Don’t work with any and every agency


I highly recommend being exclusive with a vendor partner. At the max select 2
with specializations. This ensures that instead of agencies competing to get
you candidates first and fast they will focus on the right, vetted candidates for
your needs.
Do your research

Ask lots of questions:
a.
b.
c.
d.
How many people have you placed in a similar role this year/within the last
month?
What is your process?
Team Dynamics: Who works on the position? Who will I work with?
What are your keys to success?

6. …
 Keep lines of communication open
 In order for a recruiter to perform at their best they need to
understand the internal workings of your organization. They
need to understand:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Your company- inside and outside perspectives (the
good, the bad and the ugly)
The Culture
What they should know to attract candidates to the
company and the position
Benefits
When needs change and how they change

7. …
 Does the vendor have a long term commitment to
your success?
 Trust takes time like with any relationship but the
more transparent you can be with them from the
beginning of the relationship the more deliberate and
expeditious they will be in fulfilling your need.
 Make sure the recruiter you choose is looking to
invest the time and energy to you and the project up
front and long term.
