You put your company at risk.
In a tight labor market, you will need to engage a staffing resource that has proven itself in the industry and performs for your company. Securing high-quality talent is critical to your company’s goals, objectives, growth, and stability.
While you feel like you’re getting a great deal, the cost is high if you don't fill the position quickly enough or with the right candidate.
You don’t want to make the mistake of hiring a staffing firm that cannot deliver or one that does not have access to a large pool of top-notch talent. Positions that stay vacant for long periods of time can cost your company 5 –15 times the annual salary. You Get What You Pay For!
A discounted fee means low-quality candidates.
Staffing firms are going to present their best candidates to clients who are paying market rates. It’s that simple. Think about your own business. If you provide exceptional service or product, there is a consequence to giving a steep discount.
Ask 4 critical questions to qualify high-quality staffing firms:
❶ What resources do you invest in?
A discounted recruiter may not have the financial resources to invest in effective and efficient headhunting software... and maybe they use craigslist for $25 or only post on the lesser expensive job boards.
❷ How many recruiters do they have on staff with less than a year of experience?
In this tight labor market, you’ll want experts working on your behalf, not amateurs.
❸ What does your internal turnover look like?
You’ll want recruiters who have longevity and who establish relationships with their candidates and follow them throughout their careers. Your recruiter should also have a strong understanding of market conditions and demands.
❹ Why do they offer a discounted fee?
Maybe their sphere of fluence is small, they are new to the staffing industry, or have kinks and flaws in their process and a discounted fee is their answer to building their business.

1yAs recruiters, we always hear the line about budgetary constraints but how much does it truly cost you to keep an opening empty and lose others in the department because they are over-worked. Hiring and experienced team who invests in a multitude of technologies to get you top talent is much more valuable than hiring mediocre quality matches to your companies needs. Invest in the right long term fit and pay a market value fee for the higher quality....you'll be glad you did!
So good!!!
