5 Questions to Ask an Engineer Recruiter

Business,Advice

When you are going to hire an engineer recruiter for your hiring needs, you want to work with the most qualified one around. This means that you will have to ask some questions in terms of what they can do so you can make an educated decision. If you hire the wrong recruiter, it can end up taking you longer to find engineers because of their lack of skills and experience. What industries are you involved in? It's critical to know what industries a recruiter is involved in. While engineering is a must, you want to find out what other fields they work within so that you can potentially gain assistance elsewhere as you need it.

However, if you need the help because you don't have time to dedicate to the search, you need to make sure your recruiter can actually provide the level of health that you need. Some of the services that can be provided include: - Job posting - Temporary fills - Preliminary interviews - Reference checks - Drug testing - Background checks The more a recruiter can do, the less you have to do. What is the average time to find an engineer? Some recruiters have the ability to hire faster than others. You may not be able to operate for long without a key engineer and therefore you have to ask about the average time for the recruiter to be able to find an engineer. Many will be able to find someone for you within a month – and often less. What areas of the country do you recruit for? If you have offices in other parts of the country, the engineer recruiter who you hire may be able to help you. This is going to be easier than having to hire a new recruiter each time you need to hire an engineer for one of your offices. Many recruiters will be able to provide you with the recruiting for around the country. What are the fees? You need to be aware of all of the fees involved with working with an engineer recruiter. There are two ways for recruiters to charge you – percentage based or flat fees. The percentage is based on the annual income of the position that you need filled while a flat fee is a one-time fee that is pre-determined based upon the number of people you need hired as well as the services that you need assistance with. Asking questions is something that needs to be done so you can work with a qualified recruiter. Only then can you be sure that you are going to be able to hire the right person.
