Get Expert Recruiting Without the Full Time Hire
Hiring takes time. For a small business, it can also pull owners and managers away from the work that keeps the company moving.
Better Method Talent provides outsourced recruiting and direct placement services for small and growing businesses throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We give you access to experienced recruiting support when you need it, without requiring you to build an internal recruiting department.
From defining the position and developing the job posting to finding candidates, conducting interviews, and managing the offer process, we can take recruiting off your plate while keeping you involved in the decisions that matter.
Small Business Recruiting Support Built Around Your Needs
There is no one size fits all approach to recruiting. A 20 person company hiring its first sales leader has very different needs from a growing organization adding six employees over the next quarter.
Better Method Talent starts by learning about your business, your goals, your team, and the position you need to fill. We then develop a recruiting strategy around that specific search.
Depending on your needs, we can manage the entire process or work alongside your existing team. Services can include:
- Defining the role and hiring criteria
- Developing job descriptions and postings
- Creating a sourcing strategy
- Identifying and engaging prospective candidates
- Reviewing applications and screening candidates
- Coordinating and conducting interviews with your team
- Managing candidate communication throughout the process
- Advising on candidate evaluation and selection
- Supporting offer development and negotiation
You get the benefits of an experienced recruiter without committing to a permanent addition to your payroll.
When Does Outsourced Recruiting Make Sense for a Small Business?
You don’t need dozens of open positions to benefit from professional recruiting support. In fact, outsourced recruiting can be particularly valuable for smaller companies because every hire has an outsized impact on the business.
1. You Need to Hire, but Don’t Have an Internal Recruiter
In many small businesses, recruiting falls to the owner, an office manager, an HR generalist, or the manager who needs the new employee. That means someone who already has a full workload suddenly needs to write a job posting, advertise the position, sort through applications, find candidates, schedule interviews, and keep the process moving.
Better Method Talent can become your recruiting resource for the search. We handle the day to day recruiting work while your team focuses on evaluating the strongest candidates and making the final hiring decision.
You get dedicated recruiting expertise when you need it without creating a permanent recruiting position.
2. You’re Growing and Your Team Can’t Keep Up With Hiring
Growth is a good problem to have until hiring starts competing with everything else that needs to get done. You may be opening new positions, building a department, adding sales or client service capacity, or hiring several people over a relatively short period. An HR team that can comfortably manage occasional hiring may not have the bandwidth for a sudden increase in recruiting.
Better Method Talent can provide additional recruiting capacity during those periods. Support can ramp up as hiring increases and scale back when the hiring push is complete.
That makes outsourced recruiting especially useful for growing businesses that need more recruiting resources, but they don’t need them consistently.
3. You Have an Important or Difficult Position to Fill
Sometimes the challenge isn’t the number of openings. It’s one position that really matters. A leadership role, specialized position, revenue generating hire, or hard to find skill set may require more than posting a job and waiting for applications. These searches benefit from proactive sourcing and direct outreach to people who may not be actively looking for a new position.
Better Method Talent develops a search strategy around the role, identifies potential candidates, conducts outreach, screens prospects, and builds a qualified candidate pipeline. Your team can spend less time searching and more time talking to people who have a real chance of becoming your next great hire.
More Than Resumes: A Better Candidate Experience
Recruiting is often a candidate’s first meaningful interaction with your company. That makes the hiring process part of your employer brand. Slow responses, unclear expectations, inconsistent interviews, and long periods without communication can influence how candidates view a company before they ever become employees. A thoughtful recruiting process can have the opposite effect.
Better Method Talent brings an employer branding and candidate experience perspective to every search. We represent your business professionally, communicate with candidates throughout the process, and help you create an experience that reflects the company you’re asking people to join.
That expertise is backed by hands on experience designing hiring processes, employer branding, and candidate experience programs and managing recruiting across positions ranging from entry level through senior leadership.
Recruiting That Fits a Small Business
Better Method Talent was created specifically to bring experienced talent acquisition support to small and growing companies. We can support an individual search, several simultaneous openings, a period of rapid growth, seasonal or project based hiring, or ongoing recruiting needs.
Our goal isn’t to just send you resumes. It’s to understand what makes someone successful in your organization and build a recruiting process designed to find that person.
Your Next Hire Deserves a Better Method
The person you hire can have a major impact on a small team. Finding that person shouldn’t require you to become a recruiter yourself.
Better Method Talent provides the recruiting expertise, tools, and hands on support to keep your search moving while you keep your attention on running your business.
