Why hiring an external recruiter is smart for your buisness
Raul Krebs
Recruiters don’t just help you fill roles. Working with an external recruiter is a chance to highlight your company’s strengths, build your brand, and leave a lasting impression on candidates—starting from the first call.
At Southwestern Recruitment, we’ve seen that deep client analysis and close collaboration with hiring managers are the foundation for success. This is especially true when you're competing for top talent in a fast-moving market.
Why transparent communication matters
When you work with an external recruiter, clear and consistent communication can make or break the process.
Here’s what transparency brings:
- Trust and clarity. Everyone stays on the same page. No surprises or confusion.
- Hiring speed. If your hiring needs shift, your external recruiter can react fast.
- Better results. When the recruiter understands your values and team culture, it’s easier to identify the right candidates.
“The dedication and close collaboration of Southwestern Recruitment ensured that we received a much better selection of candidates than we had hoped for,” said the HR Manager of Inchcape.

A great external recruiter is more than a messenger—they’re your brand ambassador. At Southwestern Recruitment, we combine recruitment expertise with a sales mindset. That means we know how to present your company in a way that resonates with high-quality candidates.

“Their ability to represent our company brought us candidates who wouldn’t have otherwise heard of us,” shared the CEO of Puistemees OÜ.
