ITeego's Talent First Recruiting™ is guided by the notion that recruiting success is predicated on the quality of the candidate experience. This is especially true when vying for top talent who always have multiple opportunities to choose from when considering their next career move. Will they choose yours?

Talent First Recruiting™ is designed to give you an inside track against the competition for coveted talent. The recruiting advantage is gained by using a talent-centric approach that places people and their career aspirations first.

Unlike tradition recruiting practices which are sales oriented, Talent First Recruiting™ is largely marketing oriented. That means marketing the right opportunity to the right candidate at the right time. In order to successfully do so, the recruiting relationship takes a career confidant approach. With Talent First Recruiting™, the recruiter is analogous to a talent agent in professional sports.

The following table compares the difference between traditional recruiting and Talent First Recruiting™ from the candidate perspective.

Why It Matters

Talent First Recruiting™ is a proactive response to the inevitability that the demand for talent will soon outweigh the availability of talent. As the competition for talent increases, the recruiting advantage is shifting away from the employer and toward the candidate. This shift in power is already fostering a bold new mindset amongst top talent as they become increasingly aware of their value and bargaining power. A talent-centric recruiting approach will be necessary to have success hiring sought-after candidates in a talent-driven market.

The effectiveness of Talent First Recruiting™ is in its highly personalized candidate relationships. By building trust, establishing rapport, and providing valuable career guidance; we are far more likely to be influential in a candidate's decision making process than a typical sales oriented recruiter. We believe that a recruiter's power of influence in a candidate's decision making process is of tremendous value to businesses competing for elite candidates.

Courtesy of being indigenous IT industry insiders and our Talent First Recruiting™ approach, ITeego has earned a degree of respect within the web technology IT community that is unrivaled in the recruiting space.

Put simply, great candidates make themselves known to us every day. Whether they're active candidates who are very selective about which recruiters they'll work with or highly confidential candidates who participate in our Career Confidant program, we are building a robust talent pipeline that ITeego clients can tap into.
