There are many reasons for the use of and partnership with an HR consultant. Here are 10 Profitable Benefits of Hiring an HR Consultant:
- PREVIOUS UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCHES BY THE CLIENT
You have tried and been unsuccessful at finding the right job candidate – which is the rule nowadays. Previous measures to fill the vacant position did not bring the desired success (job boards, job advertisements, active sourcing, etc.).
It is usual for companies to initially try to fill the majority of their vacant positions on their own.
However, this requires more effort than most companies are able to devote to such a task and when businesses attempt to fill positions without the help of an hr consulting for startups here are the draw backs they encounter:
Time, has passed and filling the vacancy is becoming more and more urgent (time-to-hire), and on the other hand, money has already been invested and parts of the recruiting budget have already been used up (manpower in recruiting and advertisements, etc.)
Quite often, the client then approaches the HR consultant with the claim that they needed the candidates yesterday and it must be within the budget. A capable HR consultant can easily rise to the challenge and make ends meet in no time.
- DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING SEARCH
The search for specialists and managers has become more difficult, the labor market does not provide enough potential candidates, external help from the HR consultant/headhunter is needed as their connections and expertise provide a major boost.
- CLIENT KNOWS CANDIDATES
The client already has candidates or companies in its sights in advance that it would like to have addressed, but in certain instances the company is not allowed to do this.
- MARKET STUDY
A client wants to hire the “most suitable and available candidate on the market” or at least have everything done to achieve this goal. This project is implemented through the active search of a HR consultant as part of a market study or Market research implemented.
- DISCREET SEARCH/ SPECIALIST SEARCH
For reasons of discretion, the use of a third party is necessary, since the current job holder, the market, the competitors, the public are not yet allowed to know about the search. It is a narrow market in which specialists are sought – here the client depends on intensive market research by the HR consultant.
- SHORTAGE OF SKILLED WORKERS
The shortage of skilled workers will continue to increase due to demographic change and the increasing ageing of society. Thus, the companies compete and are forced to participate in the War for Talent. The HR consultant offers a solution with the direct search.
- MARKETING
The client has various disadvantages and therefore has a hard time attracting new specialists and managers (location question, bad image, etc.). The HR consultant can contribute to strengthening the external presentation and increase the corporate identity. Candidates feel flattered when the HR consultant approaches you directly and recruits the candidates.
- ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY AND CAPACITY
HR decision-makers are responsible for difficult searches (this means both top-level and specialist searches). Enlisting a HR consultant helps to avoid possible wrong decisions, which are very expensive in the HR sector. The capacity of the human resources department does not allow an intensive search. This area must therefore be assigned to an external service provider.
- NEUTRAL MEDIATOR, MODERATOR
Through the use of a HR consultant or Headhunters receive clients neutral evaluations about the suitability of the candidates found and can mediate and moderate between the parties even on difficult points.
- EXPERIENCE
Many skilled consultants can contribute their expertise in the search and selection of specialists and managers in a goal-oriented manner, which often shortens the time-to-hire and increases the quality of the staffing.
