Retained Recruitment Consultant

In a market where employers are being offered low cost, contingent recruitment solutions why should a hiring manager opt for a retained approach? With 100% commitment from the client recruiters are able to hone their specialist knowledge and employ their full toolkit of recruitment skills to delve deeper into the labour marketplace, activating passive candidates through targeted headhunting who will bring real value to the client company. For candidates, working with a retained recruiter offers several benefits. Retained recruiters provide a high level of engagement and personalized attention, ensuring that the needs of the candidates are thoroughly understood and matched to the right opportunities. This model also means candidates are more likely to be placed in a role that aligns with their career aspirations and values, rather than just filling a vacancy. Statistics show that 70% of companies view the retention of new hires as a key indicator of hiring success (source: LinkedIn Talent Solutions). With a retained model, the likelihood of higher-calibre placements increases. In fact, retained assignments have a success rate of 85-90%, compared to just 30-40% for contingency placements, highlighting the effectiveness of this approach (source: Recruitment Industry Data). #RecruitmentSuccess #TalentAcquisition #HRStrategies
