Collaborating with external recruiters
Southwestern Recruitment
Recruiters don't just find you a right candidate – working with an external recruiter is an opportunity to highlight your company’s strengths in the market and leave a positive impression on candidates from the very first interaction. Based on our own experience, thorough client analysis and working closely with a client's representative are the keys to success.
This approach has allowed our recruiters to keep the process of recruiting smooth and deliver excellent results, even for the most challenging positions.
Importance of transparent communication
Through regularity and transparency in communication:
- Trust and clarity are built. All parties stay informed about progress, avoiding disappointment or confusion.
- Quick responses are ensured. When hiring requirements change, the team can adapt and react swiftly.
- Results are improved. Close collaboration with recruiters fosters a deeper understanding of company culture and goals, enabling recruiters to find the most suitable candidates.
"The dedication and close collaboration of Southwestern Recruitment ensured that we received a much better selection of candidates than we had hoped for," noted the HR Manager of Inchcape, who utilized our services to fill several key roles.
How do we represent your company culture?
Our strength lies in being more than just recruiters – we are also sales professionals. We understand that a strong team is the foundation of every company’s success. However, for smaller or lesser-known companies, recruitment can be a significant challenge. Having strong sales background, helps our recruiters effectively present your company and positions.
- Company values and culture. Immersing ourselves in your business and culture, helps us to find candidates who share the same values.
- Strengthening employer branding. We interact with candidates in a way that leaves your company remembered as an inspiring and trustworthy employer.
- Tailored messaging for smaller companies. If your company is not widely known, our approach helps raise awareness and generate interest.
"Their ability to represent our company brought us candidates who wouldn’t have otherwise heard of us," remarked the CEO of Puistemees OÜ.
Timing tips: How often to communicate?
The rhythm of communication depends on the project and client needs, but generally, we recommend:
- Weekly check-ins. These calls allow both sides to analyze gathered information, evaluate candidates, and adjust processes as needed. It’s an excellent way to maintain a good pace, ultimately optimizing the time needed to fill the position.
- Daily updates for urgent projects. When recruitment is time-sensitive, regular updates ensure everyone stays aligned on candidates and the next steps.
- Continuous feedback collection and analysis. This ensures all parties are satisfied and that the recruitment process is moving toward the desired outcome.
Collaboration that delivers results
Our goal as recruiters is simple: to help companies find the best possible specialists and leaders while providing a professional, clear, and transparent service. At Southwestern Recruitment, we work in a way that ensures not only effective results but also an enjoyable experience.
