What should I consider when looking for a talent acquisition partner?
Placements firms are not created equal. In the same way you would consider hiring your next star team member, here are some of the things you should consider when hiring your talent acquisition partner.
-
What are my talent acquisition needs in the short-term? Long-term? -
What challenges does my team currently have with attracting talent? Are there challenges I'm not aware of? -
Does their model/approach align with the maturity, philosophy, and operations of my company? -
Who do I want representing my company and brand to the talent market? -
Do they have experience working with companies like mine? -
What is their experience in placing my roles? -
Are they easy to work with? -
Do their values align with that of our company?
