I have a confession to make: I\u2019ve had a bit of a spotty relationship with recruiters through my hiring history. I\u2019ve worked with them as a hiring manager and as a candidate, and someday I\u2019ll tell you the war stories. This time, however, I\u2019m going to be less cynical than my last<\/a> few<\/a> posts<\/a> and look at why I often loved working with recruiters when I was a hiring manager.<\/p>\n

1. Recruiters Cover a Multitude of Sins<\/h2>\n

If you have never made a mistake during the recruitment process, please raise your hand.<\/p>\n

As I expected, I didn\u2019t see many hands out there!<\/p>\n

As I may have mentioned before, I made a few horrific mistakes as a hiring manager, and I\u2019m sure that I\u2019ll make many more in my career before I\u2019m done.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ve had some pretty amazing recruiters cover up my errors. Whether it was asking me whether I was SURE I wanted to pass up this resume that looked like the candidate was a perfect fit (whoops – wrong pile!) or it was confirming interview scheduling that had fallen off my calendar, I\u2019ve had recruiters save my bacon numerous times.<\/p>\n

Somehow, none of them ever said \u201cI told you so,\u201d either!<\/p>\n

2. Recruiters Do the Dirty Work<\/h2>\n

Honestly, recruiting can be a long slog. Going through hundreds of applicants, tracking what\u2019s going on with each of them, and getting back to all of them can be downright tedious and painful. However, having a recruiter handle this piece is downright wonderful and painless.<\/p>\n

Having a recruiter post a role and screen candidates down to a select few has saved me countless hours in the recruitment process. Having a recruiter with the job of telling folks they don\u2019t fit? Even better – after all, who likes disappointing people?<\/p>\n

3. Recruiters Are Magic (or so it seems)<\/h2>\n

Even after a few months of working at RecruitLoop, I still think that recruiters are magic. Or at least, no one has let me behind the curtain yet!<\/p>\n

How are recruiters magic?<\/p>\n
