IT staffing companies can be a major asset for businesses looking to grow in today's tech-driven world. Here's how they can contribute to your success: ▪️ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱: Finding top IT talent can be tough. Staffing agencies maintain pools of pre-vetted professionals across various IT specialties. They can match you with the exact skillset you need, from cybersecurity ninjas to data analyst wizards, whether it's for a short-term project or a long-term hire. ▪️ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: IT staffing agencies can streamline your hiring process, saving you and your team valuable time and resources. They handle tasks like screening resumes, conducting initial interviews, and skills assessments. This allows your internal team to focus on core business functions while ensuring qualified candidates are brought in. ▪️ 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Business needs can fluctuate. IT staffing firms offer flexible hiring solutions. You can bring on temporary staff for peak periods, contract workers for specific projects, or fill permanent positions. This adaptability allows you to scale your IT workforce up or down as needed to support growth. ▪️ 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀: Hiring top IT talent directly can involve significant expenses beyond salary, like advertising, background checks, and onboarding. Partnering with a staffing agency can be more cost-effective, especially for temporary or specialized positions. ▪️ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗪𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗹: A staffing agency's network extends far beyond your local market. They can find talent with the specific skillset you need, even for niche positions or hard-to-find certifications. This broadens your talent pool significantly. ▪️ 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Staffing agencies conduct thorough background checks, reference checks, and skills assessments. This reduces the risk of a bad hiring decision that can be costly and disruptive.

The power of external recruiters & common misconceptions... 💡 In the dynamic realm of talent acquisition, external recruiters play a pivotal role often clouded by misconceptions. I'm here to unravel a couple of common myths surrounding external recruiters, focusing on their impact on cost-effectiveness, speed, and the quality of hires. It's crucial that we challenge preconceptions and shed light on the valuable contributions external recruiters bring to the ever-evolving landscape of hiring. One prevalent misconception I and many other recruiters hear regularly is that using external recruiters is 'too expensive.' Despite the initial investment, the ability of a market specialist to attract and secure top-quality candidates often results in long-term cost savings. The strategic advantages and the assurance of building a team with high-caliber professionals almost always outweigh the initial expenditure. Another common misconception is that internal teams do just as good a job as external recruiters. Now, this isn't to discredit the value an internal talent team adds to a business, but they simply do not have the tools a market specialist does. Internal recruitment teams tackle the commendable task of handling hiring processes across the entire business spectrum, from the tech realm to finance and beyond. It's like being a jack-of-all-trades, but we all know how that saying ends. Managing diverse sectors demands a broad skill set and a holistic understanding of various industries, and it's a tough gig to master them all. That's where market specialist recruiters come into play. They bring a laser-focused approach, diving deep into the nuances of specific industries that they have mastered through sheer experience. It's not a knock on internal teams; it's just recognizing that sometimes you need a specialist for the job. Ready to challenge misconceptions and optimize your hiring strategy?

“over qualified” Are you a recruiter who does not know how to recognize if a potential candidate is over qualified? I assume many of you do not — why else would you pursue candidates with 20+ (or even 30+) years of experience for an entry level (or clearly junior) role? Even if you land that person it’s likely they are simply in-between offers and will not stay. I hear that some recruiters don’t care if they stay, or if they interview, etc. — that they get credit simply for presenting qualified candidates. A quick keyword search of LinkedIn is like scooping fish out of fish farm with a net and acting shocked that you have more fish than you can carry. So that means perhaps the issue is with employers who hire these folks. Clearly something is working if there is a seemingly endless supply of recruiters offering me analyst/engineer/team lead roles… do the former ones get fired and the new ones hired without establishing newer/better parameters? As an industry we complain about entry level jobs requiring 10 years of experience… but recruiters didn’t write those specs. So maybe the issue isn’t the recruiters, it’s the companies that continue to hire incompetent leaders who are looking for unrealistic candidates “must have 16 certs including CISSP, a Master’s degree, fluent in 4 languages and 20 years of experience… the role is for SOC analyst and the pay is $60-80k based on experience” I’m starting to feel bad for these recruiters who clearly need the work, many likely understand the impossible position they are in, so now I’m just sending “no thanks” instead of usual instinct to “educate”. No more sermons on what’s wrong with the request/offer — they likely already know or don’t care. Many apologies for my past replies, recruiters, I thought I was helping but see now that you were/are just feckless pawns in the utter stupid that continues to grip our industry.

"What the @#$% is going on? I've applied to 1000 openings and have been referred to a ton of companies and still haven't been able to land a job." I've heard some variation of that question and statement at least 100s of times in the last year. I'll give you my take as to what is going on and why people aren't being hired in #cybersecurity right now. ➡ Heavy focus on inbound recruiting leading to 1000s of applicants per job. The internal recruiting team is inevitably overworked which leads them to skim the first 100 candidates off the top of the pile to try to make a hire. ➡ With the market flooded with candidates, hiring teams feel they can be as "picky" as they want. Unicorn hunting has never been more prevalent. ➡ On the candidate side, people have poorly formatted resumes or resumes with errors. Some of this is due to people paying resume writers and career coaches that have never been recruiters. Hiring managers don't like seeing resumes with errors and recruiters will often see a jumbled mess if a resume is parsed poorly by an ATS. ➡ Companies are posting "ghost jobs" on platforms like LinkedIn to look like their company is doing better than it is. ➡ Venture capital investment is trending upwards but is still waaaaaay lower than it was in 2022. Money is not as cheap and investors are being more careful about only investing in profitable businesses vs. companies just chasing the next round to stay afloat. ➡ Cybersecurity is seen as a cost center. Don't shoot the messenger. Yes, I know security can be a business enabler and revenue generator, but most Boards don't see it that way. When execs and Boards are uncertain about the current and future state of the economy, budgets and headcount are lower for cost centers. ➡ Again, due to the economy, companies are rescinding budgets for roles, laying people off, and making rash decisions in the interest of cutting costs in the short term. I've never heard so many crazy stories... ➡ With budgets being tightened, the security leaders that WOULD like to work with specialist security recruiters to fill their roles quicker are being hamstrung. ➡ Job seekers are "spraying and praying" resumes and applying online to every job that's anywhere close to a fit for them. This practice further exacerbates the first point I mentioned about recruiters being spread too thin. ➡ Security professionals have neglected their professional networks over the last few years because they were perfectly comfortable in their roles. Now that they're back on the market, they don't have good referral sources to lean on. I've seen this phenomenon occuring from SOC Analysts all the way up to CISOs. What did I miss?
