1. Why do companies use recruiters?
A company may choose to use a recruiter for any or all of the following reasons:
- Very often the "right" candidate is not someone who is necessarily in the market for a new position. If posting a job on a website or in a newspaper, it only attracts those people actively looking.
- The more specialized the position the more research should be done to locate the right candidates.
- There is no one at the organization with the time or the resources to put forth a search effort.
- On occasion an existing employee is being replaced and confidentiality is essential.
- Candidates presented by recruiters are pre-screened.
- A third party negotiator can often be very effective.
- Reference checking, an essential part of any hire can and should be completed by the recruiter.

We tell our clients that it is more up to them then us. We typically will present the first few resumes within two to three weeks time. After that, how fast the interview process proceeds is entirely dictated by the client. We will continue searching for additional candidates until the client tells us to stop. Typically, negotiating an offer and reference checking can take up to one week.
