Choosing the Right HR Consultant – A Globuz Whitepaper www.globuzjobs.com

H iring people isn’t a simple task anymore. The rising attrition across all levels and
prevailing talent crunch has made hiring a specialized job requiring a process-driven
approach.

No wonder, over the past few years it has gone beyond the brief of HR managers since it
has become increasing effort-intensive task. Further, it requires someone to be assigned
full-time on the job which HR managers can seldom afford to. This situation has facilitated
the emergence of HR consultants who specialize in hiring people profile-wise, domain-wise
& overall do a professional job of hiring the right candidate. Most
importantly, HR consultants bring down the work load off HR
managers and are not bound by the constraints imposed by
time, efforts & resources.

Since it is a full-time vocation, HR consultants utilize the

resources they have in their disposal to hunt for best talent
without bothering about other HR-related tasks which a HR
manager normally would have to undertake. The benefits of
hiring an external HR consultant are far more than the job
handled in-house.

With companies increasing relying on HR consultants to source

their manpower, it is a strategic imperative to choose the right
recruitment partner. As a valued business associate, your HR consultant must:

• Be highly responsive to your HR requirements because time is money!

• Acquaint with your company’s corporate culture, aware of industry-sector and
understand well your HR needs.
• Be resourceful enough to offer practical insights into prevailing job marketscape
scenario so that you may fine-tune your HR sourcing requirements.
• Identify top-notch talent & offer them for possible best fit in your company.
• Follow industry best practices in client engagement with a focus on service
excellence.
• Offer cost-effective HR solutions.
• Build a long-term business relationship with trust, reliability & quality service as
the watchwords in serving your company.

Take the time to evaluate prospective HR consultants by the following criteria:

• Reputed brand name

• Passion to service & commitment to quality services
• Faster turn-around time
• Infrastructural Resources
• Ethical business practices
• Market standing - Proven track record

The Brand Image Trap

Please note that going by brand name alone will not help. Big brands have great
advantages in terms of service capabilities yet at times, they lack the flexibility which a
smaller consultant offers. Further, the response may not be personalized & most
importantly, accountability may be non-existent.

Viewed in the proper perspective, the passion displayed

by your HR consultant to serve your company, the Big brands offer great
enthusiasm levels & commitment to render quality
advantages. Yet do they
services goes a long way in fulfilling your organisation’s offer value for money?
HR needs. Here is where SOHO (Small Office Home
Office) players score well. They may lack the luxury of • Personalized
having posh offices & corporate set up, often operating service,
out of residential premises, these one-man outfits do a • Prompt response,
professional job of their assignments. Though big • Flexiblity
corporates might find such a proposition unattractive, • Service Excellence
small & medium enterprises go for them. Because
despite all, SOHO players deliver!

Partnering with the right HR consultant is critical to fulfilling the hiring needs of the
organisation in a time-bound, cost-effective manner with a strong focus on providing
quality hires.
