The job market is
more competitive than ever, with the Swiss unemployment
rate the lowest in more than two decades. The strong labour
market affects everyone, from the smallest café to the most powerful biotech
firm. But thankfully, there is a way to overcome this obstacle and attract the
top talent in your field – by working with a talent acquisition specialist.
There’s a reason
why they’re more in demand than ever. If you want to
attract the top talent in your field, working with a talent acquisition specialist
is the right choice. They can connect you with candidates not actively looking
for a new role and save you the time, energy, and cost of the initial vetting
processes.
If you want to deliver
measurable business results faster than by simply advertising a role and
sifting through applicants, the talent acquisition specialists at Swisslinx can
transform your approach to the entire process. By taking advantage of their
expertise, experience, and industry connections, you can speed up and improve onboarding without
sacrificing quality.
Four benefits of working with a Talent Acquisition Specialist
Here are just four reasons you should consider
working with a talent acquisition specialist to achieve your talent goals.
1.
Substantially reduce your recruitment costs
Recruitment
and training are some of the most expensive parts of running a business.
Nothing is worse than spending hundreds of hours vetting and training a new
candidate only to find out they are not a good fit for your organisation.
Of course, turnover is inevitable. But by partnering with a talent acquisition
specialist, you can tap into their expertise to make better choices and attract
the most desirable candidates. From sourcing talent to onboarding, their methods,
communication
of your employee benefits, and industry connections can
help you attract those top-tier candidates faster than ever.
2.
Easily scale your hiring up or down, depending
on business needs
Your
business likely has peaks and valleys regarding recruitment, hiring,
onboarding, and training. One season may be hectic, while the next few months
are stagnant. Therefore, maintaining an in-house recruitment team does not make
sense. After all, your internal team is unlikely to always be the right size
for the tasks at hand and retaining top recruitment experts through slow
periods is difficult.
That’s why many businesses choose to outsource their recruitment process to
professionals. Companies like Swisslinx already have the world’s best
recruiters on their teams because we can offer challenging, exciting work all
year, with no slow season. In addition, you can scale your usage up or down,
depending on your current requirements, and only pay for the services that you
need when you need them.
3.
Improve candidate quality and retention
In-house
recruitment teams often consist of a few individuals with a broad set of skills
overseeing the entire recruitment process. However, they often lack the expertise
that specialist recruiters gain from honing in on one niche. Their experience
enables them to attract, select, and onboard the best talent.
As a result, your team quality will improve. Notably, the best talent
acquisition specialists know how important culture is to any successful
placement, and they can help you hire for
cultural fit. They will also ensure your team is diverse and help you
provide opportunities for candidates from all backgrounds.
4.
Decrease your time-to-hire and speed up
onboarding
One of your most essential
recruitment metrics is time-to-hire. Decreasing time-to-hire will save you
money and effort and boost your productivity. In addition to helping you find
your new hires, a dedicated talent acquisition specialist can progress your
recruit through the onboarding process quickly and efficiently.
