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.
