I was reading a post on LinkedIn this morning titled, “Why Don’t Recruitment Agencies Collaborate More?” and it got me thinking about some of those reasons. As a split placement network, our members have been successfully sharing candidates and jobs for more than sixty years. But, there are definitely recruiters who shy away from the cooperative model. Here are some of the reasons for that reluctance: Read the rest of this entry »

An Expansion Draft for Recruiting
by Liz Carey
I’m a huge hockey fan, and the big news in the NHL right now is the league’s newest team, the Las Vegas Golden Knights. The Vegas Golden Knights are the league’s first expansion franchise in nearly two decades, and they will begin play this upcoming season. Because the team is brand new, the league is holding an expansion draft, where the team selects at least one player from each of the other 30 teams in the NHL in order to fill their roster.
What does this have to do with recruiting? Well, it got me thinking. When a recruiting firm has more job orders than they can fill, it might be time to expand. But just like a new hockey team, it can be a challenge for a recruiting firm to start a new branch / office with no “players.” Read the rest of this entry »

Want to Work Globally? Just Ask!
by Sarah Freiburger
In the recruiting world, many recruiters say they only work one city, state, or region. They may have a set group of clients they work with in that area, but could be losing business without even knowing it. If you have a multinational client, or a large business you work with that is headquartered in your area but may have satellite office elsewhere, you should try to win their job requirements outside of your geography. You may not have candidates in that area, but it is quite possible you know someone, or can find someone, who does! Read the rest of this entry »

In-house vs. Independent Recruiters: What’s the Breakeven for your Business?
by Dave Nerz
In-house and independent recruiters play unique roles in the recruitment process, let us start there. While both have a similar objective…fill the open positions…each is likely to use a different approach. In-house recruiters, also known as corporate recruiters, are direct employees of the company and typically work under the direction of the employer’s HR function. Read the rest of this entry »
