Employer/Client Question

Why should we permit you, the recruiting firm, to deliver an offer to a candidate when, in fact, the candidate will be coming to work for US? I think some recruiting firms just like the control factor.

By the time you're prepared to make a job offer, some time may have passed since the first meeting with this individual. Enthusiasm may have waived, other job offers may be on the table, and personal situations may have changed, just to name just a few. The search firm is usually aware of these potential obstacles and can help buffer them before extending the offer, eliminating any delays or turndowns. It's always a joy to deliver an offer that you know will be accepted......We can LET YOU KNOW IF THAT WILL HAPPEN. We can also inform you if we see a potential delay or turndown should your offer be less than what the candidate is expecting or needs. Many times, a problem occurs when the hiring client surges ahead, delivers the offer expecting the candidate to joyously accept, only to hear, "I'll need to get back to you in a week or so"......and then comes to us and says, "Fix it!" By that time, it's too late. Generally, once the candidate has received the offer, the ball's in their court and the wooing is over. So let us successfully complete the search process......that's what you're paying us to do.
