As a 25-year staffing industry veteran, I’ve had the privilege of helping dozens of firms find the right people to grow their teams. Throughout that time, I have personally dealt with nearly every type of hiring manager you can imagine. While each recruiter/client relationship dynamic is unique, there are some that work more synergistically than others.
If you partner with our team at AP Professionals to help sustainably and intentionally grow your business, we will do everything we can to source candidates who will add top-tier value to your firm. During our working relationship, here are a few nuggets of advice that will help make our partnership a successful and fruitful one.
Be Honest.
As in all areas of business, honesty is the best policy when it comes to sourcing talent. Be upfront about what your business needs, what your budget is, and which values are most important to your firm. Further down the line, be candid when evaluating candidates and assessing their fit for your team. The more transparent we are with each other, the more likely we will find the diamond in the rough on the first try.
Be Responsive.
In a competitive talent market, we need to move quickly when interfacing with top candidates. With many firms vying for the same applicants, waiting too long to respond to a question or request for more info can lose the lead altogether. As we work together to find a new addition to your firm, stay on top of your inbox.
Trust Our Track Record.
You hired us – trust us to follow through on our commitment to you. Sourcing talent involves many communications and moving parts. Trust the process, and have patience. After 25 years of connecting Rochester companies with the best candidates in the industry, we’re proud of our track record and work every day to bolster our reputation. Let’s make sure we are pulling in the same direction.
We can’t wait to work with you. Let’s pursue a better future for your business.
