5 Demands Every Client and Recruiter Must Make Of Each Other !
For the relationship between
recruitment consultant and client to be a stable and productive one, there are
certain demands each must ask of one another.
They are also necessary for us to properly carry out our
service, and they help the hiring company to better experience the advantages
of using a professional recruitment service.
Without these guidelines, placements
will still be made. But the experience may be more akin to the negative and
stereotypical perception of working with a recruitment agency!
Like many situations in life, everything goes a lot
more smoothly with the right communication and expectations established
upfront. Let’s begin by looking at what a client should always ask of their
recruiter of choice.
5
Client Demands
1. Transparency
When instructing a recruitment agency it is vital to
demand transparency from them in all that they do (this works both ways, as
we’ll get too shortly). Without this, it ultimately defeats one of the main
purposes of using an agency to help you hire: inside knowledge.
This includes transparency over the
candidates they represent with regards to their employment history (the good
and the bad). And honesty about their salary expectations and career
motivations.
2. Informed
Representation
Clients have the right to expect,
and require, that their recruiting partners act as just that, partners. This
means representing the client to the same standard they would represent
themselves. Recruiters can achieve this by having an in depth understanding of
a client’s culture and unique selling points. You should expect them to learn
this and help them get there. If they can act as your extended arm this will
help create a positive candidate experience.
3. Data
and Value
4. Clear
Information
You should never be hit by a game changing piece of
information out of the blue!
5. Regular
Updates
What recruiters should ask for in return?

Recruiter Demands
1. Fair Terms
We are committed to providing you with a professional
and valuable service and expect fair terms in compensation for this. To truly
benefit from a professional recruitment partner clients must treat us as
equals. This means fair terms for a job well done.
2. Realism
and Flexibility
3. Transparency
4. Timely
Feedback
Without timely and thorough feedback we just can’t do
our job properly. We require prompt interview feedback and CV reviews. Without
it, the best candidates will be snapped up by your competitor.
5. Respect
Recruiting isn’t an easy job, if it was the
recruitment industry wouldn’t exist, everyone would do it themselves. We are
well aware there are some firms that taint the industry but on the whole we are
professionals who work hard to make a living. Clients should respect this and
the important role an experienced recruiting agency plays in helping to build a
successful company.
You’ll find that if these 5 demands are stuck to by
both parties, the business relationship between client and recruiter will flourish
into a long lasting and productive one, and that is much more enjoyable for all concerned!
