Business owners and leaders hire professional recruiting consultants all the time. Basically, they are paying for advice about something they don’t know much about. They hire professional consultants when they need a problem solved. Once the problem is solved, the consultant is no longer needed.
Professional Recruiting Consultants Are Like High-Level, Temporary Employees
You can think of consultants like a high-level temporary worker. You may hire a temp to take up a small data entry project. The project is a little too big to assign to any of your necessary staff. Therefore, you hire a temporary staff member to complete one simple job.
Consulting is similar but at a much higher level. Instead of the problem being something small, like data entry, it is large, like hiring a new c-suite level executive. Your HR department is capable of hiring temps, but they may not have the resources to undertake such an important part of the business. Instead, you need to hire a professional recruiting consultant who has spent years building relationships with people in your industry for the single task of getting companies like yours the best executives in the market.
A Professional Recruiting Consultant Has Hyper-Specialized Skills
For the most part, consultants have extremely specialized skills. Their skills are so specialized in fact, that they don’t fit in at any one company. They are too valuable to pay for when they have no work to do. For example, how many times a quarter does one company need to find a new executive? Ideally, not often. Therefore, they only hire professional recruiting consultants when they need to do that. Then, the consultant goes and does that for another company. And another. Before long, they have more connections in the industry than anyone else. And the market value on that kind of connectivity when an important position opens? Priceless.
The Leadership May Want An Outsider’s Perspective
Leadership at companies may also hire a professional recruiting consultant when they want an outside eye. Perhaps the past several people that took open positions were internal hires. After several years or longer, you may want to take a new approach and make an external hire. At the least, consider it. You never know who may surprise you and be a great addition to your team.
A professional recruiting consultant has the network and skillset to bring in only top-tier candidates with appropriate education, leadership experience, and vision. You don’t want to waste your time interviewing people who don’t fit the basic criteria. A consultant can help streamline the process so you only meet with people who are qualified.
