Four Reasons a Technical Recruiter Should Be Your First Hire For Your Growing Start-Up
Recruiting talent is one of the most important aspects to any growing tech startup, and you’re perhaps stuck finding those you need. Compounding this problem is your particular tech niche may have a dearth of talented people available. Plus, all the best talent you wanted this year maybe went to your competitors.
If you’ve recently started your tech company and need to grow fast in 2018, what can you do to find the best talent? Trying to find it on your own is only going to continue a vicious circle.
As ZDNet points out, many tech positions from computer scientists to systems engineers are some of the most difficult positions to fill.
Your best bet is to hire a technical recruiter to make the search easier. Here’s four additional reasons why.
1. A Technical Recruiter is Going to Understand Your Brand
When you have a technical recruiter in your staff that understands what your mission is, it’s going to make the search more targeted. Even though you’re still a nascent company, it’s possible you haven’t fully shaped what differentiates you from competing companies.
Forming your brand and making your technical recruiter understand what this is helps them find talent best matching your expectations.
What’s most important is the recruiter should compellingly communicate what your brand is so it draws the best talent like a magnet. Some of these brand aspects may include what your benefits are and what your work culture is like.
It’s time to tell your story and have your new technical recruiter use this to enhance their job.
2. You Can Save Money Avoiding a Typical Recruiting Agency
One of the best ways to get a technical recruiter is to outsource one. When you find a good tech recruiter, they’ll often work for flat rates so you can save money.
Some tech companies go through typical recruiting agencies and end up paying far more than they can afford. Also, you’re not getting face-to-face interaction as you would with an outsourced team. In other words, an outside tech recruitment agency won’t fully grasp what your brand is, leading to potential candidates who don’t really fit.
Outsourcing your tech recruitment works just like hiring in-house. They’ll get to know your business while maintaining flat rates, or offer an RPO model.
3. Availability When You Need to Fill Positions
Another great benefit to outsourcing your technical recruiting is that you can use them only when you need them. The flat rate payment system means you don’t have to worry about added expenses, or giving an in-house recruiter a raise.
You may face times in your new tech company where you suffer from employee turnover. When this happens, you can still turn to your technical recruiter team to step in and find new hires as quickly as possible.
When they fully understand your goals (and have the proper technology), the vetting process on new candidates goes all the faster.
4. Experienced Recruiting Matters
While outside recruitment agencies may have experience, they certainly make you pay for it. Outsourcing this gives you a highly experienced team along with the flat rates.
Many outsourced recruitment teams have years of collective experience, because they do this every day. As a result, you’re going to get a speedier service in finding exactly the people you need to succeed.
Experience ultimately means knowledge of technology and inside secrets to find suitable talent fast.
