I am familiar with DMCL, as I know a partner there, and they sign off on a couple statements with my clients. Do you call them up and say you'll help them find someone? Did DMCL reach out to you asking for more coverage? Do you interview the candidates and if you like them you pass them along? Does DMCL give you questions they need answered before they reach them? I am guessing you get a fee if you refer them someone. What is the benefit of going through you first, as opposed to applying directly to DMCL? |
Hi Squiggs,
Most companies use a combination of recruiting firms or freelancers like me and their own search.
We are connected with them and have agreed to do a search outside of their own search.
The biggest benefit is that Recruiters can usually find applicants through more active searches. This benefits the applicant because it gets around the pile of applicants that come through their posting for example. We also interview the candidate and pass on the ones that we feel are strong fits, you're not stuck in a mountain of applicants, so the candidate usually gets eyes on their resume and recruiter presentation helps the client understand why we believe they're somebody that should be moved on in the process, as we give a synopsis of the candidate.
There are also other benefits to the client DMCL in terms of candidate vetting for example.
Yes we get a fee, if they select our candidate, obviously I'm not going to go into a great deal of detail.
The other benefit for the potential candidate is that I'm working on other roles for example in the financial world and after a discussion I might also submit for multiple roles.
Hope this helps.
