If every company has an internal recruitment team, how will consultancies play their role and how will they survive? - RecruitingBlogs2024-03-28T10:23:31Zhttps://recruitingblogs.com/forum/topics/if-every-company-starts-having-an-internal-recruitment-team-in-it?x=1&id=502551%3ATopic%3A1724957&feed=yes&xn_auth=noI think that a company should…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2014-02-20:502551:Comment:17909282014-02-20T23:33:47.832ZKeith D.

<p>I think that a company should use what works for them.</p>
<p>1) If they get good service from Internal Recruiters- STICK WITH THEM</p>
<p>2) If they need 1-2 very specialize/hard to fill people, or people RIGHT NOW- use a 3PR (Contingency or Retained)</p>
<p>3) If they plan a hiring ramp up then plan to level off, use a PT or FT Contract Recruiter, Sourcers, or an Offshore RPO.</p>

<p>Again, my experience with 33 years on a desk starting in 1980 differs from Terrence's and Barbara's--I believe TPR recruiting has been under pressure since latter part of 2000 with different segments of recruiting being impacted at different intervals.<br/><br/>Candidates becoming increasingly visible on the Internet</p>
<p>Excellent TPR's going in-house seeing the handwriting on the wall</p>
<p>Offshore outsourcing continuing to decrease the numbers of "Breadwinner" jobs we work on</p>
<p>H1B insourcing draining jobs from US workers, and TPR's</p>
<p>Corporate "Depression" mentality believing their Corporate staff should be finding everyone they need as most are out looking for a job--true or untrue--with shrinking TPR fee budgeting allotment</p>
<p>The 3% jobs released to TPR's more being those purple squirrel two headed dinosaur jobs that often will ultimately be shown to be "time suckage"draining TPR time and resources, or demanding a TPR find candidates able to perform close to 100% of the job requirements holding out hiring till they do. Explaining due to cut backs they have no training budget.<br/><br/>In Defense where I happen to specialize you have sequester and budget cuts with the DOD telling defense companies they have to reduce their cost per hire if they're being awarded any contracts in the first place, meaning reduced use of TPR's<br/><br/>But most importantly, as Amy Ala and others have expressed here, it doesn't matter how good a TPR is at recruiting. They could be the Peyton Manning of Recruiting--perhaps the best there ever was. But the Ravens didn't need Manning as they won with Joe Flacco. Was Flacco as good as Manning? No. Was Flacco a good quarterback who got the job done? Yes.<br/><br/>From what I hear from Sr VP's down to Managers in my marketing candidates and/or soliciting job orders from them, Corporate HR is Joe Flacco, getting the job done.<br/><br/>In the meantime....."Bill, Please email me your information in case we ever get to a point where we may want to ultilize you, you sound very knowledgeable about recruiting, we like your recruiting approach, and you happen to specialize in our area. We'll keep you in mind, and may call you in the future."<br/><br/>I suggest you ignore Amy's and Tiffany's words at your business peril.</p> Guess what?

<p>Guess what? I have actually trained internal recruiters. They do not perform in the same manner. During training, I've had them refuse to perform duties that all recruiters perform in my office. They REFUSED. So, I delivered my training, told the company (fortune 500) that it wasn't going to work. They might call themselves recruiters, but they aren't. They are HR people.

They fill 97 percent of the jobs. It's only the 3 percent that they can't do, that's what we go after. Nothing has changed about those numbers in 30 years. Nothing. It's still HR. It's still a one-sided view of the world. I wonder why real estate isn't sold on line? All those sights trying to get rid of real estate brokers. Same thing. Not gonna happen. If you understood sales, and the difference in the roles, you'd get it. The only way to understand is to actually work inside, and then work third party. Make placements. YEP. very easy to see then. Whenever anyone writes about the death of recruiting, I know that they aren't on the desk. </p> Hi,

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Rahul in my experience most Internal Recruitment Teams are inadequate because they do not move fast enough especially at the moment in my industry where there is a massive skills gap and seem on the whole to think they are doing candidates a favour by giving them an opportunity to interview and not engaging with them as individuals examples are short notice interviews after a candidate has already told them they won't be available, changing venues for interviews at late notice,…</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Rahul in my experience most Internal Recruitment Teams are inadequate because they do not move fast enough especially at the moment in my industry where there is a massive skills gap and seem on the whole to think they are doing candidates a favour by giving them an opportunity to interview and not engaging with them as individuals examples are short notice interviews after a candidate has already told them they won't be available, changing venues for interviews at late notice, putting people in to the process who have far higher salary expectations than the job is paying then being surprised when an offer is declined. </p>
<p>Also they on the whole tend not to be sales orientated and whether you like it or not recruiting has a very large sales aspect when a top candidate is registered with me I will not rest until I have placed them in to a job they want and will do everything I can to make this happen as quickly as possible "Time is the killer of all deals" I don't push people in to jobs they don't want or push clients to hire unsuitable staff but once things start to come together I will make it happen, and I rate my chances of placing that candidate a whole load better after spending time to get to know them, being available 24/7, and knowing what it's going to take from both client and candidate to make the deal happen compare that against an HR or Internal Recruiter Dept working 9-5 with no real incentive to make anything happen and obsessed with ticking boxes and making sure their clients process is being adhered too I bet on me everytime !!</p>
<p>Sorry to all the people who don't fall in to this bracket but Internal Dept's will very rarely beat a highly skilled and connected recruiter with a big mortgage to pay</p>

<p>Amy, you've made your valid points. There probably wasn't more you needed to add.<br/><br/>Your point of trying to be a better recruiter than you won't change the TPR business equation for as long as you're getting the job done for your company, that's all that matters--agree with you<br/><br/>Finding a vibrant niche remains the TPR goal that Corporate HR doesn't have covered--agree with you. You rarely need to encorporate TPR's as you have your area well covered--a recurring daily theme I hear. So the TPR goal remains the same as always, finding a client in need willing to pay for your services. <br/><br/>The argument/discussion is over whether it's business as usual out there and difficulty attaining those opportunities negatively reflects on a recruiter's ability.<br/>Or, if assignments are getting increasingly tougher to attain as Corporate Recruiters are increasingly able to do what previously TPR's did accessing candidates requiring much less need for TPR's reflecting a corporate recruiting strategic approach change?<br/><br/>Recruiter talent/ability, or changing recruiting landscape?<br/><br/>I've read enough of your posts assessing your comments to be an accurate barometer of the general recruiting climate.</p>

<p>Stop trying to be better than corporate recruiters. You're fighting a losing battle, IMO. You can be specialists in a particular area. You can have a lock on the executive / retained search market. You can specialize in high volume contract placements. There are many, many things of value you can offer a client that are valuable and worth every dime of your placement fee. Being better than me and my colleagues doesn't need to be one of them. When you're framing the argument that way (Better! Faster! Superior! all words used in comments here) you've already lost. Meanwhile, I'll just be over attending weekly meetings with my hiring managers, working closely with my HR counterparts (I am NOT HR, but we do both partner with the hiring managers from different angles) and making placements.</p> Brian, overview philosophical…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2013-07-28:502551:Comment:17332782013-07-28T15:13:48.411Zbill josephsonhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/billjosephson
