I'd like to perhaps have a brief conversation with 1-2 (or maybe more) hiring managers that satisfy all of the following (4) criteria:
currently use retained search/contingency search firms to fill full-time positions
use these firms to hire mid/senior level candidates
make at least 10 hires/year through such firms
work for us based companies (tech, financial services, retail would be ideal, but industry doesn't really matter)
some of the 'types' of topics i'm trying to understand are:
at what point does the decision to use an outsourced provider make sense? Is it all about cost? If so, if industry fees were lower, would that accelerate the decision point? Or do you use these firms mostly for the 'really-hard-to-fill' positions? or for convenience/volume of candidates? Or is it about (lack of) internal capacity? At what point does it make sense to start building an internal recruiting team? Is it all about the quality and speed of candidate delivery? Or do you work with particular recruiters for particular reasons?
Overall, i'm trying to get a better sense of 1) how much, and at what points, cost matters 2) discrepancies between the value proposition (of recruiting firms) from the reality (i.E. Most recruiting firms pretty much seem to have the same basic value proposition) that hiring managers deal with.
I am an entrepreneur tangentially connected to the industry, and i'm considering a product/service geared towards the recruitment/placement industry.
