Let’s talk about the type of recruiter you really want to work with.
Like in any industry, there are recruiters… and then there are recruiters. You know exactly what I mean.
Unfortunately, many companies today believe that involving as many recruitment agencies as possible is the best strategy. They distribute the same job description to multiple recruiters, often without taking the time to provide a proper briefing or discuss the role in detail. Then they simply wait for CVs to flood in, hoping that one of the companies’ will eventually uncover the perfect candidate.
On the surface, this may seem like an efficient approach. After all, it creates competition and encourages recruiters to move quickly. But in reality, it often produces the opposite result.
Without a proper understanding of your business, your culture, your team, and the finer details of the position, a recruiter is forced to make educated guesses. Add to that minimal communication, little or no feedback, and no effort to build a professional relationship, and your vacancy can easily become just another job on a long list.
The consequence? You risk becoming a low-priority client.
A quality recruitment partner invests time and energy where there is genuine collaboration. They work closely with companies that value open communication, provide constructive feedback, and are committed to finding the right person rather than simply filling a vacancy.
That is our ideal client.
When we partner with an organisation that is serious about hiring, we dedicate ourselves fully to understanding not only the technical requirements of the role but also the culture, values, vision, and long-term goals of the business. We don’t stop until we’ve found the candidate who truly fits.
People employ people.
If you want to hire exceptional talent, you need to partner with an exceptional recruitment team—one that is educated, experienced, dedicated, and passionate about thoroughness. Skills can be taught, but culture fit, shared values, and the right mindset are what create long-term success.
Build your company on a foundation of clear goals, strong values, and a compelling vision. Then work with recruiters who share those same principles and know how to identify like-minded professionals.
At Elchemie, we don’t believe in a volume-driven recruitment model. We believe in a boutique, specialised, relationship-focused service where quality always comes before quantity.
The difference is much like flying economy versus business class. Both will get you to your destination, but the experience, attention to detail, and level of service are worlds apart.
