Why You Should Partner With Expert Tech Recruiters To Find Talent
The cost of hiring a new tech employee can be $40,000 per role or more. While some of that cost can be attributed to lost productivity and training, most of it is associated with the recruiting process itself. From HR and management’s time to advertising, screening, interviewing, background checking, etc., the costs are astronomical – and they only increase if you end up making the wrong hiring decision.
Recruiting in-house might seem like the most simple option, but it is not always the most effective or cost-efficient. An expert tech recruiting agency can help you access the right candidates faster, helping you control costs and improve retention.
Meet Candidates, Not Applicants
When recruiting alone (or when you work with the wrong agency), the focus tends to be on filling interview slots with applicants who are “close enough” to what you need. On the other hand, high-caliber tech recruiting firms get paid to fill jobs, not to schedule interviews. Their success depends on speed and accuracy, which typically means you will see fewer candidates, but those candidates will be well worth your time.
Talon is an award-winning tech recruiting firm that leverages The Talon Advantage™, a highly effective, multi-phased methodology that narrows the candidate field to just three or four precisely matched candidates. This methodology was perfected to ensure that our clients’ can stay focused on their strategic goals, rather than getting caught up in the hamster wheel of hiring.
The Talon Advantage™ works like this:
- Market data analysis: Before we begin, we study your needs and the current state of the local talent market to determine how to best attract the right candidates.
- Practical requirements gathering: We gather all of the critical information needed for your role(s) including technical skills, soft skills and competencies to develop precise job descriptions.
- Success profile development: Next, we work with you to craft your ideal candidate profile and we tailor our interviewing approach to address your exact needs.
- Sourcing: We leverage a sophisticated mix of tools to develop a precise sourcing strategy.
- Advanced screening and selection: Through interviewing, skill assessments, and performance vetting, we identify the top candidates who are aligned with each role.
- Performance and talent management: After a placement, we provide ongoing consultation to ensure smooth transitions and client satisfaction.
