Hiring one of the top headhunting firms in Canada can be overwhelming. You have no idea how to choose one over the other or which one is better from a long-term perspective. So many questions and only one relevant answer - “Make a list of parameters you would want to check in the firm you would want to hire.”
The Depth Of The Recruiting Process - The foremost thing to look for in the headhunting firms is the process of recruitment they follow. Ask for a basic checklist they follow while recruiting for a particular position. The deeper and streamlined the process is, the better option it is over the other prospects you are looking at.
The Level Of Transparency In The Recruitment Process - Another important factor is the level of transparency followed by companies to make sure that you and the firm are on the same page. A headhunting firm needs to be perceived as a partner and not a service provider and judging the level of transparency can actually help you decide whether you can see the prospective firm as a partner in the long term.
Ability To Work As A Partner - Look for an agency that can look into everything such as day-to-day operations, the physical and climate requirements of the work, what career paths exist and highlighted to the prospective candidates in order to attract them to join your company and so on. A good firm not only will help you find the right talent but will also help you in your resource planning so that you are able to make the best use of your existing resources.
The Past Case Studies - This becomes crucial as it can help you understand whether a particular headhunting firm has hands-on experience in your particular industry. This can also help you identify whether they can help you hire for brand new roles of which you have very little idea. What kind of screening techniques they use and how wide their network of potential candidates is. All this can help you decide whether you will be able to work with a particular firm for a longer period of time.
The Information On The Staff Of The Firm - People make companies so a headhunting firm is no different. Ask in advance who all from the company would be your direct contact. Try to set up separate one-on-one interviews with them so that you can understand the level of experience of the people you would be working with and how easy they would be to work with.
