Recruitment to Recruitment Agencies
An agency that provides Recruitment to Recruitment (rec2rec) is part of a specialised group of recruitment consultancies. The challenges are similar to those faced by Human Resources professionals seeking to recruit other HR employees, namely you are working in your area of specialism.
A rec to rec recruiter or recruitment consultant is going to be approaching and working with other recruiters both in their capacity as candidates but also clients. Thus to be successful in this are you need to be at the top of your game. A recruitment consultant’s credibility and interpersonal skill is always critical in this process and never more so when recruiting other recruitment consultants for other agencies.
For those individuals and agencies that get it right this is one of the more rewarding recruitment areas to work.
There is, of course, a debate as to whether or not a recruitment agency should recruit their own recruiters. On the one hand, this is their core business and they should have the skills and confidence to do so. On the other, however, is the fact that they should be keeping their focus on their clients and revenue generation.
Additionally, confidentiality comes to play. Recruitment is a fairly small community and individuals may not wish it to be know that they are job searching. Using a specialist search and selection agency goes a long way to helping you find the job you are looking for without disclosing your interest in being recruited.
