<p>Tiffany's advice is great. If you do consider hiring someone on a permanent basis, try and look at the future hiring needs anticipated AND what other skills the person might bring. For example, during the peak hiring times it might be someone who is good at sourcing the .NET people and handing them off to whoever does the majority of the candidate process. In the times when the hiring isn't as high, what else can they do to add value to the company? Looking at the big picture long term helps…</p>

Looking at the big picture long term helps to see whether or not a direct hire or a contract person is most suited to your needs.</p>

<p>A contract recruiter or contingent may be able to help you right now. That way, when the recruiting slows down, you have no commitment. If you go the contract/contingent route, make sure you use a firm/contractor that specializes in .net engineers. I'd also look at the cost of using a contractor vs contingency fees and see which one would be more economical for you.</p>

<p>For the long term, you may want to go the cotractor route. This will provide you with the help you need while you evaluate your long term needs. If your company is consistently growing and you arefilling positions that are replacements and add to staffs, that may be a good indication that you may need to bring on another perm recruiter. I'd be careful though....you are in ramp up mode now, but once all of your positions are filled, it may slow down again.</p> LinkedIn is a good tool to us…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2012-10-04:502551:Comment:16105812012-10-04T15:03:09.809ZKaurik Rajhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/KaurikRaj
<p>LinkedIn is a good tool to use as would be existing relationships with candidates. Usually, companies specialize in a technology (or grouping) and maintain their relationships accordingly. Like in our case, resources are spread equally between Microsoft technologies (SQL, C#, .Net, Sharepoint <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_ef97a1113abaf9f968514978e2c7f9001ceef8c4_etc:0">etc</span>) and Oracle's offerings (Oracle, Peoplesoft, OBIEE…</p>
