Why Use an Independent Recruiter?

External Recruiters accelerate the time it takes to process new hires, deliver only the best potential candidates and improve employee retention rates. All of the above, saves companies time and money.

A recruiter saves companies time because they do the heavy lifting. A good recruiter defines, describes, and crafts the perfect job description. They know where to look and how to attract the right talent. They gather the applicant information, conducts the initial phone interviews, and asks the critical questions to narrow the applicant pool. An employment recruiter is up to date with salary norms, skills qualifications, and career expectations. When a company partners with an external recruiter, the company benefits from their years of experience and knowledge. This allows companies to use their time and energy only on those candidates who have been pre-selected, who have the qualifications, and fit worthy of consideration.

An independent recruiter can also save companies a great deal of money, especially when it comes to flat rate recruiters or flat fee staffing agencies like Blue Collar Specialist. When you pay a flat rate per hire there are no unexpected fees. No percentages. You will be charged a simple flat fee that applies to the services you need. Flat fee recruiters use a combination of traditional recruitment methods as well as web advertising, social media, CV screening, and candidate management to provide the best candidates at a fraction of the cost.

Of course, not all flat fee recruiters charge the same price, and not all flat fee recruitment models are the same. In order to drive down your cost per hire and improve candidate quality, you should be looking for a specialist who has the experience and contacts to identify the right skills for the positions you need.

If you are a business owner operating in the skilled trades and need positions filled, I urge you to talk to an independent recruiter at Blue Collar Specialist. I’m confident you won’t be disappointed in the savings and service you receive.
