Our time is precious and in many cases, limited. I realize my clients have schedules that are very full as do their bosses and their bosses' bosses. HOWEVER, when you engage with a recruiting firm to assist you in filling positions that you have been unsuccessful in filling on your own - please listen to us and follow our processes! There is a reason you haven't been able to find the talent, be it in Sourcing/Procurement/Supply Chain or otherwise. A strong firm will transform the stagnant process you've been adhering to into an expeditious, professional and streamlined process that will enable you to build an exemplary team. Listen to us - we know (the good ones) what we are doing.
If you and/or the decision-makers cannot or will not commit to scheduling and making those decisions pertaining to building a top-notch team, I advise that you NOT engage with we professionals that are well-respected in the industry. Our networks are strong and we are connected with individuals who are well-respected and stellar, potential candidates. Stringing them along while your team finds the time to meet with them WILL NOT WORK. Read afore-written blog - your reputation in the marketplace will wither and we recruiters that value what we do and how we are perceived will not work with you again.
You as Hiring Managers and your team take what you do seriously - as do good recruiters. Attracting "A" talent is an effort, so make sure everyone is on board. Or get used to the hamster wheel.
