The value of search firms. (The H.R. Dept.).(Brief Article)
Professional Builder (1993), May, 2003 by Carpitella, Bill
I meet few builders who understand the true value of a search firm. My observation is that most builders view search firms as a necessary evil and think they could accomplish the same deliverable if only they had time.
Well, I disagree.
We thought the Internet would be our saving grace, but Career Builder, Monster, Hot Jobs and other "miracle-working" job-search sites have produced minimal results. The Wall Street journal recently reported that Web recruiting was responsible for only 3% of all hires since 1996. Even today, to post a position on the Web leads to mass mailing by everyone from fast-food employees to unemployed auto mechanics. We receive far too many resumes that don't fit our specifications.
