How recruiters help companies hire smarter, faster, and more effectively
Hiring the right talent is one of the most important, and most challenging tasks for companies. Between writing job descriptions, sifting through resumes, scheduling interviews, and negotiating offers, the hiring process can be time-consuming and overwhelming. With the cost of making a bad hire, companies can’t afford to take chances.
That’s where a recruiting firm comes in. We don’t just help companies find A candidate; we help you find THE candidate. Whether you’re building a new team, expanding on an existing team, or needing help with a replacement, here are the top 10 reasons you should partner with a recruiting firm:
- Access to a larger talent pool-
- The benefit of using a firm is the access to ready-to-hire candidates with our extensive network and database. We also focus on being proactive with our searches and find candidates that weren’t actively looking but would consider a move for your specific opportunity. Many of the candidates we work with aren’t interested in changing roles until we call them.
- Saving you time-
- Sourcing, sifting through viable candidates, and interviewing is time consuming. A recruiting firm takes on the heavy lifting so your internal team can stay focused on other priorities. We do the initial sourcing and interviewing, so you know when a candidate comes your way from us, they’re a match!
- Faster hiring-
- As your recruiting partner, we can handle all the availability and scheduling for interviews. We make the process seamless and work with whatever timeline you have in mind for hiring. We also know HR handles so much more than interviewing and hiring. It’s a lot to fit in coordinating interviews when you have a running list of additional tasks. Let us take that work of your hands and handle the coordination and invites for you.
- Industry experience-
- Specialized firms, like PharmaFinders know your industry. We know the ins and outs of medical affairs and the functions of the variety of roles that are hired within this space. We understand the nuances of specific roles and can spot the right skill sets faster.
- Visibility for your company-
- Recruiters act as brand ambassadors, presenting your company in the best light to attract top talent in competitive markets. Every exchange we have with a candidate is an opportunity to showcase your organization.
- Salary benchmarking-
- At PharmaFinders we stay on top of compensation ranges. We have information on compensation based on years of experience, degree designations, and therapeutic areas of focus. We of course keep the specifics confidential, but we are here as a resource to share how your company and compensation compare to what we’re seeing in the market.
- Negotiation support-
- While we’re mentioning compensation, we’re here for all your negotiating needs as well. Before partnering on a job search, we have a clear understanding of your salary bandwidth and make sure to show you candidates that fit within that range. Ahead of sending you a resume, we’ve already had compensation conversations and continue those conversations on your behalf throughout the process. We’re here to find you qualified candidates who are ready to accept your offer when the time comes.
- Dedicated recruiter relationship-
- When using a firm, you gain a trusted partner who learns your company’s culture, needs, and hiring style. We are here as an extension of your organization and want to establish a relationship to make future hiring needs even more efficient.
- Better candidate experience-
- Although we’re here to make your life easier, a firm is also here to improve the candidate experience. We’re here to update you on the candidates’ thoughts and feelings throughout the process. We’re also here to keep candidates informed and engaged throughout the process, improving your employer reputation. We check in with candidates to be sure there’s no outstanding questions, or clarification needed while interviewing.
- There’s no cost upfront-
- PharmaFinders is a fully contingent firm, meaning you don’t have to pay for our services until you get an offer accepted from a candidate we’ve presented. If you’re having difficulty with a hard-to-fill role, or your internal TA team is needing additional support, consider a contingency firm- it’s no risk and high reward.
Finding and keeping top talent is too important to leave to chance. Partnering with a recruiting firm not only streamlines the hiring process but also ensures you’re connecting with the best candidates for your business. From saving time and reducing costs to improving retention and strengthening your employer brand, the benefits speak for themselves.
