Does your agency recruiter keep missing the mark?

We know agency recruitment. We used to be a part of that world. In fact, our experience in that environment illuminated all the flaws and misgivings of the whole system.

To paint a picture of what we learned, let’s introduce you to Nina from Agency X...

Nina places people in jobs for a living, only she doesn’t quite hit the mark a lot of the time.

It’s not Nina’s fault.

Nina is sitting in her office in Collins St.... and the company she is recruiting for right now is over on St Kilda Rd.

There are a lot of streets between Nina and this other company. A lot of space.

It’s fair to say she has no idea what the company culture is really like. She has never been invited to Friday afternoon drinks with the team. She wasn’t involved in that impromptu company update meeting last Tuesday.

She hasn’t even tried out that new coffee machine in the kitchen!

Now imagine if Nina was 4 desks over from you.

Every day.

What if Nina had been involved in that meeting, and found out exactly why Nick from accounts was struggling with his newest team member. Imagine if she did have a chance to chat to Caroline from Marketing over coffee on Monday, and discovered that there was a roadblock in training new recruits, which was having a serious impact on performance.

Being a part of a team gives you access to significant, but circumstantial, intel that you simply don’t get as an outsider looking in.

So you see, it’s no surprise that agency recruiters miss the mark a lot of the time. They are brilliant at what they do, but they only have a fraction of the information they need to make spot on hires.
