When it comes to recruiting for your business, there are always arguments for handling the function in-house. After all, no one has a stronger handle on what your business needs than your own managers. Your management team are also best placed to create a recruitment function that works for the unique needs of your operation. And there is – potentially – an ability to operate fast and without delays.

However, the reality for most firms is that recruiting is incredibly time-consuming and it is also a fast-paced industry that is evolving at a dizzying rate of change. Candidates expect more, tech solutions are paving the way for greater efficiencies and topics such as employer branding, employer engagement and cyclical recruitment are preoccupying most forward-thinking recruitment teams.

Expertise is always essential to successful recruitment- backed up with the latest technologies, systems and processes. And these are difficult to resource internally, with the need for constant training, development, market insight and investment.

Ultimately, successful recruiting in today’s day and age relies on more than simply being good at delivery.

Why do today’s recruiters need to know their clients?

When web designers build an app, website or system, they spend a significant amount of preparatory time researching user needs and personas. When marketers plan a campaign, they do the same, seeking to understand the wants and needs of their customers and to gain empathy for their needs.

Recruiters must apply the same discipline to their work and really get to know, understand and empathise with their clients. This means understanding their current frustrations, their goals and their long-term ambitions. These are hugely important to know to really know each candidate – and each client – and provide a perfect fit for both.
