Using specialist recruiters for export roles

Let’s start with a couple of questions: 
     How good or bad has your journey with your most recent recruiter been? 
     How well does your recruiter know what you are looking for? 
     Did you feel you ever feel you are just part of a numbers game? 
     How well does your recruiter know the applicants? 

These are easy enough questions, but the answers may not be the ones you want to hear. 

When it comes to filling vacancies in export and international trade, using a specialist recruiter like Maythorne-Exportjobsonline can help you find the right level of skill quicker than other recruiters. 

We all know the relationship between client and external recruiter can be difficult with the latter often seen as a necessary evil. As a client you are working to a budget while the recruiter is keeping an eye on the fee and KPIs. All too often a good relationship comes down to how well you know your recruiter and how well the recruiter knows you. 

In short, it is a symbiotic relationship. 

The quality you get out of that relationship will vary with the amount of nurturing you have put in. The same is true on the part of the recruiter. 

There are many recruitment services in the market, all promising what appears to be the same: quick placements, quality applicants and no-placement no fee. So how do you pick one to work with you to fill that vacancy faster with quality applicants? 

The simple answer to that question is to ask how well they know your industry and the skills you are trying to recruit for. Undoubtedly the understanding the recruiter has of the skills you seek and the ability to speak with authority on the subject will go a long way to providing you with the right applicants and quickly. 

Following Maythorne’s short absence from the recruitment market, it has been surprising to see the proliferation of recruitment agents. Everyone is in it! With recruitment websites designed to try and make the task easier, the art of recruitment has been brought down to the lowest common denominator with little or no service and reduced to a numbers game. Export and international trade are no exceptions. Good recruiters can add significant value particularly in niche markets. 

Maythorne-Exportjobsonline is a niche recruiter specialising in export and international trade and has always provided top class service to client and applicant alike, treating them with respect, valuing their perspective and working with them both to place exporters first on every occasion. 

Maythorne has over 30 years’ experience in recruiting within the export and international trade arena at all levels. It is heartening to hear from former clients and applicants that they are pleased we are back! 
This is why it is important to know your recruiter. By providing them with the information they need to make a good selection of applicants for you to fill your vacancy quickly, you will be able to concentrate on the important matter of growing your business internationally.
