Take Network Equity Into Consideration When Choosing A Tech Recruiter
Clearly, one of a search firm’s greatest assets is the size of the network it brings to the table. When choosing a search firm to partner with, it’s important to ensure that by virtue of the relationship, you'll be gaining equity in a highly valuable network.
This value is called Network Equity. To demonstrate such value, a search firm’s network must consist of hundreds of thousands of potential candidates that the firm can reach out to on behalf of your organization.
It's not hard to conceive why a large, well managed network can offer tremendous value to a search firm’s clients. Fact is, search firms with massive networks can source better quality candidates and do so in a fraction of the time when compared to agencies with negligible networks.
Consequently, today’s best search firms are using web 2.0 tools to build potent networks that maximize the value of their recruiting services. To find out how extensive the network of a particular search firm is, simply ask the following questions about them...
- How many results do I get if I Google the search firm’s name?
- Do any of the firm’s recruiters write a blog? Is their content valuable? Is it frequently updated?
- Do the firm’s recruiters have complete business profile on popular social networks?
- Does the firm have groups on social media sites? How much activity do their groups have?
- Does the firm send out frequent press releases?
- How many first degree LinkedIn connections do the firm’s recruiters have?
- How many people follow the firm’s recruiters on Twitter?
- Does the firm have a high quality website? Does the site have features that enable visitors to interact?
- How high does the firm’s website rank in search engines for keywords that describe its recruiting niche?
- Does the firm have a professional, high quality corporate identity?
By answering these questions, you’ll find out how valuable a search firm’s network is. If the answers are marked by high numbers and multiple yeses, then the firm in question offers tremendous value and would clearly be an asset to your organization’s hiring initiatives.
Of course, we encourage you to ask these same questions about ITeego. We’re certain you will be impressed with the answers!
