Recruiting Myths You Should Stop Believing
If you’ve ever felt like finding the right person for the job is like searching for a needle in a haystack, you’re not alone. The hiring process is time-consuming, stressful, and full of unknowns. Especially in specialized industries like mining, manufacturing, and heavy industry.
One of the smartest, easiest ways to improve your hiring outcomes is to work with a recruitment firm that truly understands your business. Not only will this lighten your load, it will lead to better hires.
At Ascendancy Recruiting, we simplify the hiring process by taking the pressure off by finding top-tier talent that fits your needs, culture, and values.
But we get it! There are a lot of myths floating around about what recruiters do and don’t do and whether they are actually worth it. So let’s clear the air.
Here are 5 common myths about recruiters, and the truth behind them.
Myth #1 - Recruiters are just an added expense.
Busted- When you factor in the cost of a bad hire- lost time, lost productivity, restarting the hiring process, the value of a good recruiting partnership saves you money and far outweighs the upfront cost.
At Ascendancy Recruiting, we strive to understand your goals, save you time, and reduce turnover by helping you find the right candidate the first time.
Myth #2 - All recruiters are the same.
Busted- It’s true that some recruiters will send unsolicited resumes or put forward candidates that they haven’t taken the time to properly vet or find out if they’re a good fit for your company. The difference between recruiters who do that and a true recruiting partner is night and day.
At Ascendancy Recruiting, we take a hands-on approach by digging into your company culture, role requirements, and long term vision so we can thoroughly vet candidates and deliver those who are genuinely aligned with your needs.
Myth #3 - Any recruiter can fill any position.
Busted- Industry experience matters. As a specialized mining recruitment firm, we bring a deep knowledge of the mining industry to the table and understand what skills and expertise are needed to find candidates who truly meet your needs. Because we know mining, we know how to identify candidates with the skills to succeed in your environment.
Myth #4 - Top talent can easily be found without help.
Busted- The best candidates aren’t always actively looking or keeping up on job boards. Ascendancy Recruiting bring additional resources to the table, including passive candidates that are open to the right opportunity. Working with us gives you access to a broader talent and finding those hidden gems.
Myth #5 - Handling hiring in-house saves time.
Busted- Posting to job boards, sifting through resumes, scheduling interviews, and handling communication with candidates is a full-time job. It can get very overwhelming very quickly, especially when you have other projects to keep track of.
When you work with Ascendancy Recruiting, we manage the entire process so you can stay focused on running your business. We regularly communicate so we can make sure we understand exactly what your needs are.
