Beating the frustration: improving HR’s relationship with recruiters

Historically HR and recruiters haven't had a great relationship, yet they both need each other - something has to be done so we can both get along.

While in theory recruitment only forms a small part of an HR manager’s role, in practice it can be one of the most time-consuming elements. In addition, at a time when HR is under pressure from the business to reduce costs, it is essential to try and make new hires as cost effective as possible. However, with HR managers having less time on their hands to brief and give feedback to recruiters, it becomes more difficult for recruiters to put forward the right candidates. This vicious circle can leave both parties feeling the strain and searching for new ways that they can work together to create a more efficient and effective recruitment process.
