During this process, a recruiter can:

Get to know what you're looking for

When a recruiter takes the time to understand your individual company and hiring needs, they can effectively do the work of weeding out candidates who do not meet your qualifications. This includes learning more about your company and its values, your budget, and what you’re looking for in a candidate.

Bring expert hiring knowledge to your process

Because recruiters are experts in reviewing applications and interviewing candidates, they are effective in being able to identify the best potential hires. This not only means knowing exactly what to look for on a resume, but understanding the types of interview questions that will bring out a candidate’s best and worst qualities.

Bring expert knowledge of the industry

When a recruiter works within a specific industry, they will understand more about the skillset you’re looking for and be able to take a more nuanced approach to finding the right candidates. Additionally, because they work with other employers in your industry, they have expert knowledge on industry trends, giving you more information on how you can compel the best candidates in the industry to join your team.

Pull from a larger pool of candidates

When a recruiter works within a specific industry, they are in contact with an extensive network of qualified professionals, many of whom would not have applied to the position otherwise. This includes passive candidates who weren’t even actively searching for a job.
