Why Using a Recruiter is a Smart Investment
Clicks can save you significant costs in the hiring process, especially for high-level permanent positions.
Financial
Calculate the financial benefits for a $120,000 hire in a team of 6.
Once you outlay advertising, the hiring manager’s time to interview and manage the recruitment process, time and resources to onboard and train, you save up to an estimated sum of $25,000.
The right hire will be around long after the probationary period, so that is approximately $30,000 well spent on salary. Getting it wrong means you incur that as a loss.
You will also save around 15% of the manager’s work time, which can equate to $12,000, plus the cost of 5 team members producing 10% less, which could total up to $80,000.
Productivity
The right hire will hit the ground running and boost team morale.
Management can use their time and resources to advance productivity in other areas, rather than trying to intensively manage someone who is not quite the right fit. Hiring someone with the right skills in the right role advances team efficiency and can bring an innovative approach to successful delivery.
Culture and Brand
When everything works well, everything works well.
The right hire brings more opportunity to innovate and grow. Don’t lose indeterminable costs through potential lost clients, diminished customer service or reputational damage. Or at worst, potential legal fees.
Hiring smart the first time will save you a chain of costs as well as gaining time, momentum and success.
As part of Clicks’ HumAIn™ methodology, we find the best candidates more quickly by investing in two key tranches: human and technology.
We believe neither one nor the other in isolation is effective in today’s market: the relationship must be symbiotic.
Simply having a database of over 100,000 candidates is no indication of sourcing capability.
We keep ourselves honest by asking ourselves these questions:
- Will the candidate be excited to pick up your phone call?
If you ask for a referral, will the the candidate take the time to go through their contacts? - If you put forward the social impact of an opportunity with a slightly lower pay rate, will the candidate take the job?
- Can you be sure the candidate’s CV you have on file is the most up to date version?
- When is the last time the candidates on your database actually interacted with you in a meaningful way?
- How do you know whether your candidates think you’re doing a good job?
Successful Hiring How-To:
Articulate your Employer Value Proposition; sell your company culture.
The interview is a two-way street; interviewers should be experienced and trained to get the best from the candidate.
Give yourself time; role fulfilment should not be time-pressured.
Job descriptions matter; make sure the description accurately outlines what the candidate is applying for.
Understand hiring strategies; ensure your approach is inclusive and appealing.
Job ads are the first impression to attract the right candidates; sell the job with enthusiasm, ensure the description is well-written, up-to-date and accurate
Be mindful of unconscious bias; seeking to hire like for like, or preconceived ideas of the perfect candidate can rule out suitable applicants.
Remuneration is reward; access current salary data to ensure the candidate is remunerated appropriately according to industry standards and their value in the marketplace.
“To be truly successful, permanent hiring must prioritise quality, fit, and alignment to culture and values above all else.”
