The first thing we do is rewrite all the rules!

Traditional recruiting services are a "Winner Takes All Model" that does not work. In the reality of today's competitive job market this model often degrades in to a No-Win situation because the recruiter's objectives are not aligned with your business goals. Recruiters end up competing with rather than cooperating with internal resources and this gets even worse when the job order is placed with multiple recruiting firms.

Challenges of the Traditional Recruiting Service Model:

Information is withheld from clients and delays are created because:
- Recruiters are making sure they get credit for their work
- Clients never fully embrace the expertise of the recruiter
- Many times clients place the same job with multiple recruiters
Advertising is less powerful because:
- Business name is withheld to ensure application through the recruiter
- Job description is muted down to avoid identifying the client company
Eliminates great candidates because:
- Many will not respond to blind advertisements
- People who really want to work for your business do not apply because they do not know it is your business
- The best people are working for someone else and will not risk applying to an unknown entity
Interviews gather less information because:
- Recruiter does not know your business, as well as you do
- Recruiter does not know the personality of your business, as well as you do
- Recruiter does not have the industry expertise of your staff
Best Practices from the HR Profession are not applied because:
- Recruiter is not being paid to do it right
- Recruiter is being paid to find a person, not the right person
- Good screening eliminates candidates
- Application process is slower resulting in candidates being hired by other firms
