<p>The beauty in blogs is free input form the people who may know what they're talking about. The problem, you don't know which ones actually know what they're talking about. Good luck Ryan.</p>

<p>I'm a home based recruiter and have been for over 4 years in a variety of unique capacities. I know a few others like myself who are all very senior. I think the Pro and Con are obvious but I'll just list them out anyway. It's the gorilla in the room nobody wants to talk about right?</p>

<p>Pros:</p>
<p>For the Recruiter -</p>
<p>1. Save $$ on gas, clothes, lunches. </p>

<p>I'm a home based recruiter and have been for over 4 years in a variety of unique capacities. I know a few others like myself who are all very senior. I think the Pro and Con are obvious but I'll just list them out anyway. It's the gorilla in the room nobody wants to talk about right?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Pros:</p>
<p>For the Recruiter -</p>
<p>1. Save $$ on gas, clothes, lunches. </p>
<p>2. Save time on commuting 2 hours p/day, getting dressed. </p>
<p>3. Freedom to utilize and self manage own time. For instance, go to Costco on Tuesday afternoons for an hour when nobody is there. Get a haircut wednesday morning when the place is empty, etc.</p>
<p></p>
<p>For the Business -</p>
<p>1. Save on office space overhead, printers, equipment, phone, office supplies, etc.</p>
<p>2. No lame accidents or flat tire excuses from employees</p>
<p>3. Use Skype or other electronic communications to stay connected as co-workers</p>
<p>4. Reach your recruiters 24/7 not just during normal business hours.</p>
<p>5. Possible (although not probable) higher performance</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cons:</p>
<p>For Recruiter -</p>
<p>1. Your home is your office. It can get to you.</p>
<p>2. Time management is a high level skill set most don't do very well</p>
<p>3. You'll find yourself working at night (shoot...its 10:39 PM and I'm writing a recruiting blog post!)</p>
<p>4. Performance may start to slip and you'll also go insane</p>
<p></p>
<p>For the Business -</p>
<p>1. You have to find ways to keep your recruiters motivated and feeling connected</p>
<p>2. Time management is a high level skill even for managers. Doing this effectively with recruiters is a high level skill</p>
<p>3. Do you know how to pick-em? The work-at home option isn't good for everyone. You have to pick the right recruiters. It's a different animal who will be successful working from home vs. the one who thrives in the structure of your office. Most of the time they themselves won't know which one they are (although they may think that they do). Different habitats for different species. One size does not fit all.</p>
<p>4. Considerable risk.</p>
<p>5. You need good tools, ATS, communications technology, regular meetings, tracking, etc. to ensure productivity.</p> If you're looking to particip…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2012-11-26:502551:Comment:16251032012-11-26T16:23:00.061ZJimhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/Jim

<p>Hiring virtual staff can be a challenge. There are many pro's and con's. I will send this to a few people in the community that have this experience. </p>
