Time to Hire? Why Outsourcing Can Actually Save You Money

When you need tax or legal help, you don’t think twice about contacting an accountant or lawyer. But have ever considered engaging an IT recruiting expert to hire the technical talent you need?

When it comes avoiding the risk of a hiring mistake – and saving time and money during the hiring process – Kansas City IT recruiters can drastically improve your odds of success.

Here’s how.

A Shorter Time-to-Hire

Reputable IT recruiters have the proven processes in place – and years of industry experience – you can rely on when you need to hire. It can take you months to fill an open position, but recruiters oftentimes have qualified candidates in mind they can start tapping to fill your opening. As a result, you don’t have to spend your valuable time reviewing and weeding through a pile of resumes from unqualified candidates.

Additionally, when you have to spend a lot of time on recruiting activities, you’ll have less time to focus on your other priorities. But when you partner with an IT recruiter, they can handle all the work, so you can maintain your productivity elsewhere.

Faster Access to Hard-to-Find Candidates

Do you need an IT professional with a niche or specialized skill set? Where do you go to find them? If you’re not sure, an IT recruiter is an ideal place to start because they’re always recruiting across many different competencies and skill levels. They will be able to uncover hidden talent in the marketplace – including passive candidates not actively seeking a new job opportunity – that suits your needs.

A More Cost-Effective Process

Between advertising fees and the time it takes to interview candidates, both direct and indirect expenses connected to hiring a new employee can add up quickly. When you hire a recruiter, you will typically pay one set fee – so not only do you know your costs going into the process, but they’re often less than if you were to handle hiring on your own.

A Better Fit Candidate

Many new hires quit after just a few short months on the job, leaving employers back on the market, looking for new candidates. When you work with an IT recruiter who understands the industry, you can ensure a better fit candidate gets hired in the first place and eliminate the most costly hiring mistakes.

You will be presented with a short list of qualified candidates, all of whom have been meticulously screened and evaluated for both technical skills and cultural fit. So you won’t have to worry about that candidate who “looked great on paper,” but fails to thrive once on the job.

Not only can finding the right technical talent be a challenge – it can be expensive too. Lower your costs and reduce the hassles of hiring by outsourcing the process to an expert IT recruiting partner.
