The hiring
process for IT talent is critical to a company; not only to find people with
the right set of skills and technology knowledge but to find the right people
who are a fit with a company’s culture, existing IT teams and vision. To do it
right and ensure successful hires, a company is looking at investing a lot of
time in to planning, reaching out, engaging, filtering, interviewing and
negotiating with potential IT candidates.
A smart way to
go is let a professional staffing agency handle the entire process and here are
3 top reasons why:
1.
IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO TOP IT PROFESSIONALS
A professional
staffing agency has an existing and immediately accessible network of
high-level tech candidates. These candidates have been prescreened,
pre-interviewed and oftentimes tested for skill capabilities.
At Taurean
Consulting we take it one step further. Part of our
screening process includes making sure that all candidates receive online
training to elevate their skills as well as acquire the certifications that
have become requisite for many tech positions.
A good staffing
agency will be also be proactive in deploying innovative strategies to attract
top IT talent consistently so if the best candidate for your need is not
immediately available, they’ll know exactly where to go and how to represent
your company in finding the right fit from an external search.
2.
SAVE VALUABLE TIME
You’ve got
other things to do! It’s easy to underestimate just how much time and energy
the hiring process takes, especially in a high-demand tech talent pool. From
placing ads, going through resumes, short-listing candidates, scheduling
interviews, dealing with interview reschedules, developing and negotiating
packages that attract and retain top talent… and all the paperwork.
To make a
winning hire and get the tech talent that you really want, it takes a
relentless focus on recruiting. It also takes knowing how to influence and
close the candidates that you want. This is where a staffing agency excels and
can make getting the right talent on board as easy and effortless as possible.
Finding the right staffing agency to be your partner in recruiting can be invaluable
in saving you time as well as ensuring a successful hire.
3.
MAKE THE HIRING PROCESS A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE
Top tech talent
is in hot demand, which puts a higher level of pressure on the recruiting
process. Your company is often in the position of being interviewed as much as
you are doing the interviewing. Then getting the talent that you really want
can become a high stakes negotiation. And even after all that, have you had
time to ascertain if there is a right fit with your company culture and the
rest of the IT department team? Are you enjoying this yet?
Staffing
agencies understand how to represent and fulfill the needs of both talent and
employer and will navigate and facilitate end-to-end recruiting solutions. Developing
a strong relationship with an experienced IT staffing agency will prove
invaluable to ensure that recruiting is always a positive experience for your
company. They will handle every aspect of what can become a daunting situation allowing
you to focus on showcasing your company and attracting the talent that you
really want in the interview.
