Comment on: Topic 'Headhunters get the ax': ut I could be wrong. "With all due respect to recruiters they are not HR professionals they are sales agents." and this is a bad thing? I am an internal recruiter, I have been an agency Recruiter... and yet I still maintain that what I do is sales.... My job is to make money for my organisation... I think that is everyone's responsibility isn't it? I sell my company to the world, I may not sell my products but I sell the vision of the company to interested parties. HR may have all the warm and fuzzies in the organisation, yet they still have to sell the vision, the direction and the policies to the people of the company, maybe we should call it internal sales huh? I also sense a higher pedastal for HR professionals in your conscientiousness.. why? What is so special about an HR professional? In my world.. Recruitment sits in between HR and Sales, and we now have our own part on the org chart and Management team. "Many businesses find them an annoying third party anyway." TRUE. but so what... I find it annoying doing my taxes, going to the dentist or even grocery shopping.. but you have to do them. "I have tried several of them to fill junior accounting roles and 95% of the candidates sent to me from the recruiter have not been suitable. Even if we weren't in a tough economic time it's best for companies to hire without them anyway." = I can't argue with that, without that I have no job... but I warn you, there are differences between an HR person and an HR person who wants to Recruit, sure you can post an ad and process the response, however finding that candidate, and then closing that candidate really does need a different skill set. "Tell me this. How possibly can a recruiter know what a company is looking for in a candidate? They have no idea of organizations best interests and are simply looking for commission." - Really? A detailed job brief for one... a skilled Recruiter can ask the right questions to ensure they aren't working solely off a job order or position description, ie tough to define culture in a job description, but a cultural fit has to be one of the biggest reasons for making a hire. Organisational best interests, goes 2 ways.. sure there is a commission focus, but hey, if the client dies.. so does the recruiter. "Some companies get sucked in to their sales pitch of how it saves time and money which is total rubbish and most employers know this." - I always loved this... most HR Professionals I know hate Recruiting with a passion.. would rather put their head in an oven than Recruit. Would prefer to be writing policies on chewing gum in the office than dealing with external people trying to get into your company. Recruiting then takes a back seat to afore mentioned policy and takes longer and longer.. Everything cost money, your time, HR's time etc, sifting through 1400 resumes for a junior accounting role would take forever.. costly... but hey each their own. "That is my opinion from an employer’s perspective. I have many friends looking for work that have even less respect for this industry." = From my employers opinion, (and trust me, my CEO dislikes TPRs with the best of them) I know this.. there are less than reputable people in every industry, and there are heaps in this.. I have met and heard the legend of many... however, when someone has been out of work for a while, cannot get the responses from applying to job boards, I'm sure they will find a way to find some love for that Recruiter who finds them that role or employs them directly. A defined value proposition, if delivered... works wonders.…; Added by Dan Nuroo at 5:16am on January 25, 2009
