All the Same?

Recruitment – it is all about matching clients to candidates. While on the surface this makes it
sound like all recruitment is basically the same thing, when you look a bit deeper, this clearly
isn’t the case.
To match the right candidates to the right roles, you need to understand the role as well as the
hiring client does. This means being comfortable with all of their jargon, and what the skills
they are looking for will entail.
If you are recruiting for a client who wants a database administrator, and you have no idea
what MySQL is, how are you going to know if the candidate; whose CV in front of you is
competent enough to meet their requirements? Equally, if a job requires a list of professional
qualifications and you don’t know what any of them mean or how relevant they are, you’ll
struggle.
As well as understanding the client’s industry and needs, you will also be much more
successful in sectors where you have put a lot of time and effort into building and
maintaining relationships. Nobody can have the same high level of professional network in
every industry going, so if you have spent your career working with clients and job seekers in
the insurance industry, you’re going to find it much harder to emulate the success that you
have previously had immediately if you try and recruit digital marketers.

Recruitment also changes as you move from general positions into senior executive roles.
Those recruiting for extremely senior or prestigious roles will find they spend more time head
hunting and trying to persuade high profile candidates to move than those who work with
vacancies lower down the pay scale.
When looking for more general positions, a recruiter will normally handle more jobs at once
and generally be dealing with people who are actively seeking work. The nature of the day to
day tasks involved and the skill sets called to the fore most often change.
This is effectively why many recruitment businesses specialise in certain sectors, or at least
have teams that do. It is also why one agency can appear to be the very best in one field, but
barely scratch the market’s surface in another. The best recruiters know where their strengths
lie, and use them in everything they do.

When it comes to recruiting for recruitment itself, this is where a rec to rec company really
adds value to its clients and the candidates it represents. At GSR2R, we specialise only in
matching the best people to the best roles in the recruitment industry, and because of this, our
team and our networks are strongly geared towards understanding and connecting with what
really matters in our field.
Of course, this also means working with recruitment businesses that have their own specific
spheres of focus, and we ensure we have people on our own recruitment team who are
experienced in working in all of the recruitment niches we interact with.
Till next time,
Cheryl
