3 common client pain points when recruiting a new hire

As much as we would like to say the recruiting process is a breeze, it’s never easy when hiring a new candidate. It can be daunting not only for your business but also for the potential employee.

Many factors are in play, and while the ride can be thrilling for you, many pain points can also make the process a challenge. 

Every recruitment is different – the role, candidates, and budget, and there are some common pain points, 3 of which we explore below.

Time: making informed yet timely hiring decisions

Looking for candidates is time-consuming. They must be the right fit for your team but going through all the motions necessitate using staff resources.

Taking time out of your day-to-day role to read applications and conduct interviews means your regular work is often overlooked until the process is complete.

The recruitment consultants at Platinum People Solutions only job is to find the right people for your business. They do the work so you can enjoy the fruits of their labour, and this pain point is eased.

Financial constraints for the hiring process

It's a myth that recruiting new staff requires a big budget. Finding the right candidate can be successfully achieved when working on a limited budget, particularly when done creatively through social media and other platforms.

While money is definitely saved by hiring the right recruit the first time around, this is not always achieved. This is why recruiting agencies such as Platinum People Solutions have all the resources at hand and connections that your company needs.

We can deliver these services at an achievable cost because your company isn't taking staff away from their usual roles to find new recruitments.

Sourcing new networks review

At Platinum People Solutions, when engaging with new clients, one of the most significant pain points they discuss with us is they have exhausted all their networks.

They have used all the known, and respected online resources such as Seek, Career and Indeed and are unsure where to go from here?

As recruiters, we have a plethora of experienced candidates with whom we already have established relationships.

We know their background without having to scroll through hundreds of unsuitable applicants. Our search is likely to take half the time because most of our screening process is done.

Moving forward with new recruits

We recognise many other pain points are experienced when looking at hiring new staff

These include previous difficult experiences with recruiters, positions that require specialised skills sets that are difficult to fill, and internal HR constraints are just a few of these.

However, recruitment of new employees doesn't need to be complicated. It's an opportunity to meet new and interesting people and have a chance to discover talented individuals.

While common pain points may at first feel overwhelming, engaging in the support of established and motivated professionals at Platinum People Solutions will help build your business with all the right experts.
