As a former corporate recruiter and current staffing professional, I witnessed time and time again recruiting firms give the same sales pitch and apply the same methodologies and recruiting processes to both large and small companies alike. In return, recruiting firms expect small- and medium-sized companies to abide by their rigid and inflexible fee structures, guarantee periods, payment terms, and processes. From my experience, if smaller companies with less cash flow cannot afford these fees or cannot work within these constraints, they are made a lower priority or given lesser quality service and candidates.
This lack of flexibility from the recruiting industry has become even more apparent as we enter a candidate-driven job market. We have heard stories from our clients of our competitors calling and raising their fees by as much as 25% because the market has changed. My question is whether these same firms would lower their prices in a bad economy. This lack of tailor-made solutions inspired Ncite Partners to create a new line of business centered around providing small- and medium-sized businesses the recruiting solutions they deserve.
Our team has developed customizable recruiting solutions that can be tailored to fit your hiring volume, level of positions, your budget, and your long-term goals. In return, we look to build not only a strong relationship with our clients, but an entrenched relationship. According to our current small business client Vicki L., “Ncite Partners was the first recruiting firm that actually listened thoroughly to our needs and designed a recruiting approach that has led to our company taking the next step. They have been critical to our success and have been there every step of the way.”
Below are the some of the ways we are tailoring our recruiting approach to fit our small- to medium-sized clients:
· We want to be there every step of the way rather than simply make a hire and run away. That is why we offer a guarantee period that can be up to three times the national average.
· Every company’s cashflow and financial situation is different. That is why we offer flexible fee structures where payments can be spread over a period of up to six times longer than what our competitors offer.
· We also firmly believe the effort and cost of filling each position is unique and not created equal. Our flexible fee structures are also based on the cost and effort to fill your needed role. The cost and effort to fill an Administrative Assistant is not the same as a Director, so why should our clients pay the same fee percentage?
We want to work with you, not just for you. If you are interested in learning how Ncite Partners can develop a tailor-made recruiting solution for you, please feel free to reach out at any time at corey.walker@ncitepartners.com or 405.446.8844.
