Relying solely on an internal recruitment team is dangerous… Many companies will have an internal recruitment team as they look to hire across multiple different disciplines. Everything from marketing to HR to Finance to IT. Does this save money and time in the long run? Perhaps in some cases However, as a specialist IT recruiter for over 10 years, I know the difficulty of finding a German speaking DevOps Engineer in Austria (for example) Someone who is asked one day to find an accountant and the next day to find a DevOps engineer will firstly not have the time and secondly not fully understand where to really look for these skills. You are then relying on job adverts to find you candidates…. And lets face it, 95% of applicants don’t read the job description and are not right for the role. This is why specialist recruitment agencies exist. Yes there is a time and a place for internal recruiters and they add great value, but to get full access to the market in each sector… The use of an Agency in partnership with your internal recruitment team is vital!! Agreed?
