From CPA Australia: Engaging a recruitment firm can be beneficial for organizations lacking internal resources or expertise to fill specialist positions, as recruiters have access to a broader, often passive talent pool.
They can provide shortlists of qualified candidates quickly, saving time and offering insights about market conditions and salary expectations.
Key qualities to look for in a recruiter include industry knowledge, communication skills, and experience, while red flags include a lack of candidate familiarity and insufficient due diligence.
