As your small business grows, you may feel like expanding your Human Resources Team or outsourcing the recruitment business to another company. But when it comes to hiring for top Management, you cannot fully rely on a Human Resource team. Now what you need is a dedicated recruitment team which will cherry-pick exceptional talent for your company. You just need to tell them the desired qualification and other professional requirements regarding the job post. Rest of the work from hunting till on-boarding the employee is taken care of by the dedicated recruitment team.
But everything that shines is not gold!
Things may look good but there are chances that your dedicated recruitment team may not understand your business goals and may end up hiring a mismatch.
Let’s have a look at the benefits and limitations of a dedicated recruitment team and how an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) acts as a game-changer.
Benefits of a Dedicated Recruitment Team
1. Relieving the Burden
Gradually as your startup or small business grows you keep on adding new employees and locations. Eventually, it becomes really difficult to micromanage every aspect of the business at the base level. Having a dedicated recruitment team helps you relive the extra burden of time-consuming activities such as recruitment and implementing policies. This saves a lot of time which can be spent in other fruitful activities such as marketing, business expansion, and promotion which will help in increasing ROI and capturing a bigger market share.
2. Maintaining Compliance
The professional recruiters are very talented and have expertise in every area related to compensation laws, labor laws, and other compliance laws. They ensure that the recruiting completely adheres to all rules and regulations set by the government or other law-making bodies. This helps the small business to avoid breaking any laws by the owner even by mistake. The dedicated recruiting team avoids undue fines and other possible lawsuits. Thus, the recruiters help the organization to maintain a good reputation for the business.
3. Technical Expertise
A recruitment team comprises of well seasoned recruiting professionals. Their skillset is at par with any in-house HR. They have a good experience which helps them to judge the candidate better according to his qualifications, body language, and experience. A dedicated team knows what is expected by the employee, candidate, and the market.
4. Global Reach
It makes the recruiters fight tooth and nail when it comes to finding quality candidates for top management positions. The main reason is that candidates are in top management positions are usually not actively seeking any job opportunity. The recruitment team, therefore, has a major task i.e. to find them and ask them if they are interested. These professional head-hunters have an enormous database that helps to find even the passive candidates easily.
5. Cost-Efficient
Talking about small companies or startups, they don’t have enough funds to have an internal recruitment team of their own. On the same hand, recruiting is an important aspect of the business which cannot be neglected. So, small businesses often hire dedicated recruitment teams on a project basis or part-time. This eventually saves a lot of the organization’s capital.
