Upmost recruiters will work with fewer
but better quality job candidates and manage
the interview process rather than send over
multiple people to interview. If you ask to
interview four or more candidates, it’s likely
there is only one or two good enough to fill
the role, the rest will fill time slots to meet
your request. When a good working rela-
tionship is established between the recruiter
and you, this honest piece of information
will be shared and you should come to re-
spect and trust that is true. This is only the
tip of the iceberg. The benefits in working
honestly and candidly with a quality re-
cruiter far exceed being told there’s only two
quality applicants for your opening.
Another advantage is the insight of the
temporary employee working for your firm.
Most temporary employees will be quick
to share the pros and cons of their role and
the firm they have accepted a work assign-
ment with. But, the employee will share this
information with the recruiter who placed
them, not the client. If you connect well
with your recruiter, they can share this in-
formation with you. As you are their client,
your recruiter will be hesitant to share any
negative information, so make sure you
explain how open you are to hear and learn
from them.

If you have high standards for your firm, use
this information for its betterment. If you
paid a consultant to review your company’s
culture and practices, it would cost a consid-
erable amount and take quite a bit of your
time. Having a solid relationship with your
recruiter is similar to hiring a consultant
where temporary employees can provide a
great insight and review of your company
and what it’s like to work there.
