Debunking HR Myths about Executive Recruiters Many HR people don't like Executive Recruiters and the vice versa is also true. The key stakeholders (those that have skin in the game) need to work together to make the placement successful. Some of the criticism HR people receive is that they don't have their own "skin in the game." The hiring manager can ill-afford to make a bad hiring decision, the candidate seeks opportunity and is worried about making a change, the recruiter works endlessly to meet everyone's expectations, and the HR person's common viewpoint when it doesn't work is:
"Oh well, guess we'll need to replace . . . hiring manager/recruiter/candidate (pick one).” It does not matter to HR if the process breaks down unless the company places emphasis on the HR Department to deliver on recruiting.
HR gets calls daily from recruiters from all over the country wanting to get their business. From their point of view, recruiters and candidates are a commodity that can be easily substituted by the next recruiter and/or candidate. That's why you'll often hear recruiters refer to HR as gatekeepers that they try to avoid. It’s easy to find fault with a recruiter unless you've been one. It is long hours, weekends, and a ton of rejection. Also, you got to remember that recruiters have enormous risk if a candidate is not reliable.
Recruiters are paid by the company on a commission basis that often comes with guarantees. If anything goes wrong, the recruiter makes zero income after spending weeks and sometimes months searching for the right candidate.
Recruiters and HR people who have a strong relationship can develop a mutually beneficial business agreement. Some HR people swear by their Headhunters as the ones they call when they need help with a search. The key here is to make sure the HR person and the Recruiter are not working against one another, but rather working together to meet the needs of both the hiring manager and the candidate.
Most positions can be filled by the HR team; only those positions that are the most difficult to fill make the most sense in using recruiting services. While not seeking to compete with the HR team, the practice of overlapping recruiting efforts is not encouraged and not conducive to a long term business solution.
