What makes a good Salesforce Recruitment Agency?
Experts in the Salesforce Industry
A good Salesforce Recruiting Firm knows the industry inside out - they are experts in the field.
The Salesforce platform is constantly evolving and there are a number of variables that change what type of Salesforce Professional a company should hire.
This means being aware of new Salesforce Certifications available, keeping up with the new features available from latest releases, or understanding the evolving best practices when implementing the tool.
It is the job of a Salesforce Recruiting Agency to remain up to date on these changes and partnering with this type of specialist Recruiter helps ensure your company has that knowledge before you start searching. Recruiters are trained to assess a candidate's skills and work style to match them with the most suitable company. They have access to detailed information and data on what makes a candidate successful in Salesforce and can use this to filter out weak potential employees in order to find the best fit.
Salesforce Recruiting Agencies know what it takes to find the perfect candidate, including the type of teams they have worked alongside in the past and the kind of environment they will thrive in for their next role. This can be especially beneficial if you're looking for a Salesforce Developer or a Salesforce Administrator and your team doesn't have the experience to probably vet their skills and make sure they can execute on the tasks at hand.
Can Save Time
How long are you spending attempting to recruit new Salesforce professionals for your company?
Time is money, and if you want to save money, you need to save time.
Salesforce Recruiting Agencies can locate Salesforce talent and approach this talent with a job opening at your company in a matter of minutes because they have spent years building a database of prospective candidates.
Because recruitment agencies have existing talent pools, they don't have to start the process from scratch.
At the same time, working with a Salesforce Recruiting Agency saves the candidate time, as the candidate doesn't need to apply for the job on their own. This means that a good Recruiting Agency can develop a talent pool simply because it is more convenient for the job seeker, thus providing companies with access to a wider network of Salesforce Professionals than if they just posted a job listing.
Can Save Money
Did you know that it can take a company up to six months to break even on its investment in a new employee?
The cost of hiring a new employee goes beyond your HR department's salary.
Recruitment, onboarding, training, and benefits all cost money.
Working with a Salesforce Recruitment Agency can help you save money. While the placement fee might seem like a big expense, there is a lot of money wasted during the recruitment process - job boards that don't yield results, time spent interviewing the wrong candidates etc - investing in the right talent will easily offset this upfront expense.
Salesforce Recruitment Agencies are experts in Salesforce. This means that they know what it takes to find the right candidate for your position, saving you time and money in the process.
It also means that they're professionals who can steer you in the right direction and they know what it takes to hire the right person for the job.
Finds Passive Candidates
Often, the best candidates aren't ones looking for jobs. It can be challenging to find these people, also known as passive candidates.
However, they're the people you most want for your project or full-time positions.
The good news is that a Recruitment Agency spends time making contacts and building the talent pool necessary to find those candidates for you. They're often aware of where the talent is, and they also know how to incentivize that talent to join your team.
Offer a Wide Variety of Talent
Recruiting Agencies are 100% focused on finding talent and building relationships with a valuable network of Salesforce Professionals.
Your primary job prevents you from spending this much time building a high-value network to recruit from when a new position opens on your team.
Partnering with an agency allows companies to pull from a significantly larger pool of talent than what they are able to generate on their own.
Salesforce Recruiting Agencies will work to keep talent engaged, so you don't have to constantly stay in touch with good candidates in the hopes that you have headcount for them in the future.
FoundHQ helps Salesforce Freelancers stay updated by providing them a look at what's coming and proactively informing the about relevant projects or job opportunities.
This means they don't have to spend time wondering where their next project will be and allows us to maintain a talent pipeline that's ready to start working immediately.
Salesforce Developer Recruitment
There are more than 11 million jobs open in the United States.
With so many options, employees have the advantage.
Salesforce Developers are in demand and hard to find, let alone convincing them to join your company instead of all the others that are trying to hire them.
Working with a Salesforce Recruitment Agency gives you an advantage because they know how to find the experienced Salesforce Developers you need. Salesforce Developers can often receive many offers, and that can leave you grasping for straws.
If you want candidate quality, a recruitment agency is your best bet.
Salesforce Administrator Recruitment
Just as working with a Salesforce Recruiting Agency is a great way to source Salesforce Developers, it's also highly recommended when sourcing Salesforce Administrators.
Like Developers, Salesforce Administrators are in demand and hard to find. We know you want an experienced Administrator for your project, and that's why we work to recruit top talent for you.
Trusted Recruitment Advisor
It's easier to work with a Salesforce Recruiting Agency instead of doing everything on your own or working with a Generalist Recruiter.
A good Salesforce Recruiter will help you craft an attractive job posting, distribute it to the right audience, manage all inbound applicants, handle upfront qualifications, and only introduce you to the absolute best Salesforce talent for your specific opportunity.
The problem with Generalist Recruiters, which includes an Internal Recruitment Team, is they don’t understand the nuance of these positions.
What motivates a Salesforce Professional? What will make an opportunity stand out from the rest? Where are the best places to identify good Salesforce talent and develop relationships? How can you verify they have the correct skills for the job?
A Specialist Recruiter brings all of this knowledge and a huge network. At FoundHQ, we are a tech-enabled Salesforce Recruitment Agency, so we set you up with a Company Dashboard to keep track of all the applicants we have identified for you and track where they are in the process.
Save Hassle
Hiring is extremely time-consuming when you have another job to do within the company - frankly, it can often feel like a hassle.
You have to sort through applications and resumes and then conduct interviews. You also have to spend time communicating back and forth with potential candidates.
Even after you've hired someone, there's work that goes into building a talent pool that your company can access in the future, if needed.
When you work with a recruiting agency, the hiring process is outsourced to them. This means that they're in charge of managing the application process as well as finding you the perfect candidate.
Hire One Person or Build a Team
Working with a Salesforce Recruitment Agency gives you the ability to hire one person or build a team.
If you have a more significant project coming up, you might need a team, and finding that team yourself will take a considerable amount of time.
Working with a Recruitment Agency can help you streamline the process and have your team up and running quickly. This means you can focus on your project and other aspects of your company instead of having to spend that time finding your team members, vetting their skills, and managing everyone.
Network of Quality Salesforce Consultants
Maybe you have a project you need a Salesforce Professional for, but it's not full-time, and it's not permanent.
Taking your chances with unproven Freelancers can feel scary for a company.
However, with some of the recent shifts with Salesforce, the need for Salesforce Consultants is expected to grow.
Using FoundHQ as your Recruiting Agency means you're getting Freelancers that are 100% pre-vetted by us.
We have a pool of over 1,500+ Salesforce Freelancers and more than 10,000 full-time Salesforce Administrators and Developers looking for new jobs.
Whether you need someone full-time or just for a couple of hours a week, we can help you find the right person for your company.
