Posted by purerecruit on October 13th, 2017

Cherry picking a candidate for the right fit in organizations is the job of a specialist. It calls for years of experience, understanding the job profile, the needs of the organization and proper succession planning.  More often than not organizations end up losing a great of time and money trying to recruit reactively rather than as a plan. The need to fill in positions and move on may sometimes end up pushing the process internally, resulting in a job fit that may not exactly be the most suitable. We drill down to the manner in which headhunters can help organizations to optimize growth and potential.

Prevent cardinal mistakes of judgment

A professional headhunter will help organizations to steer away from making cardinal errors of judgment.  The first impression is always designed to be the best impression. The candidate will do his or her best to project self as the best, as a team player, a flexible and competent person. A professional headhunter with thousands of resumes on the workstation and many interviews, will be a better judge of the actual skills and abilities. This is quite different from what is sought to be projected by the candidate.

Picking from diverse sources

A head hunter with access to many diverse sources will be undeniably be able to come up with the right pick. This contrasts with the limited access organizations may have, as they try to recruit from a limited pool of talent. A headhunter, by virtue of being in the business of recruitment will make it a point to accumulate, update and be in constant touch with the best talent. This will ensure that the best fit ensues.

Backup with equally competent candidates

At times, candidates may choose not to join an organization after clearing multiple rounds of interviews and formalities. This could be due to one of many reasons. However, the point that needs to be noted is the organizations end up with the vacancy unfilled. Going through the whole process of sourcing, shortlisting and interviewing may take up considerable time depending on the position. This is where, choosing a headhunter makes the difference. A headhunter would invariably have sufficient back up with equally competent candidates, who can be interview at short notice. This cuts down the time taken for filling up critical positions.

Proper process of finding the right fit

A job description, with detailed inputs such as “need to have” and “nice to have” abilities and experiences are just some of the tools that headhunters use to look for candidates. This systematic process of winnowing down choices to the bet fit for initial screening puts headhunters as the best associates to help organizations. 

The human capital in organizations are vital for growth and success. It is therefore important to source and pick the right candidates. Enlisting the services of a professional headhunter will win organizations the best talent and help management to chart a path to meet mission objectives.
