We all know how difficult it can be to find the right person for a job. It’s even more difficult when you are looking for an executive recruiter, someone who will represent your company and make decisions on its behalf. There are many factors to take into consideration during this process, including experience level, personality type, location, salary requirements and so much more. For that reason, you must ask the right questions during your interview with an executive recruiter before making any commitments or signing contracts!
How do you Source Candidates?
There are many ways an executive recruiter can find the right candidate for your company. Some of these include cold-calling, searching through websites like LinkedIn, and even searching on job boards like Monster or CareerBuilder. To make sure you get the best results possible, you need to know how they source their candidates before making any commitments!
To Whom Will I Be Speaking?
You should always know with whom you will be speaking throughout the hiring process. The last thing you want is to work with an executive recruiter who does not return your phone calls or emails and takes weeks to complete simple tasks! Asking this question allows you, as a company representative, to feel comfortable working alongside this individual.
What is Your Turnover Rate?
Your turnover rate tells you a lot about the business in general, and how it works with employees during their time of employment. If an executive recruiter has a high turnover rate among its hires, then there may be something wrong within the company that needs to be addressed immediately! This information allows you to make decisions on behalf of your business that are in the best interest for all parties involved.
What is Your Current Client Base?
Asking an executive recruiter about their current client base allows you, as a company representative, to see how well they work with other companies/businesses within their industry. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to work with them, as well! If they have a lot of experience working with other companies in your industry, then that is something to take into consideration.
