the importance of partnering with a recruiting firm w/ jessica kashyap
guest: jessica kashyap, recruiting leader focused on accounting and finance hiring initiatives at vaco
- partnering exclusively with one recruiting firm creates accountability since there is no one else to point fingers at if hiring goes wrong
- mixed messaging across multiple agencies confuses candidates and makes it hard to control the narrative in the marketplace
- candidates have options and will only commit to two or so opportunities that sound most enticing, so slow processes lose talent
- speed matters, some hiring cycles moved from friday interview to offer within about five business days
- a good recruiter will tell you honestly when they are not the right fit instead of forcing a square peg into a round hole
