What Makes a Recruitment Partnership Work

Employer Insights | Recruitment Strategy

The strongest recruiter–client relationships are partnerships rather than transactions.

A recruiter who understands the organisation, its culture, leadership style and future plans can search much more intelligently than one working from a job description alone.

Employers can improve recruitment outcomes by giving their recruitment partner a clear understanding of why the vacancy exists, realistic must-have requirements, context about the team and reporting structure, honest salary parameters, timely candidate feedback and information about what would make someone successful in the position.

In return, a specialist recruitment partner should provide market feedback, challenge unrealistic expectations when necessary and represent the employer professionally to prospective candidates.
