Is the large number of head hunting companies useful?

Many enterprises assume as a matter of course that the more head hunting companies provide candidates for themselves, the more rapidly they can obtain more candidate information. Thus, to recruit one post, the enterprise will sign contracts with 3-5 head hunting companies. Of course, they will pay no earnest money definitely and only pay the one that finally find the right person.

Is that true? Not really.

Candidates can be found more correctly and rapidly.

First, this method will let excellent head hunting companies flinch, as a result, they can only enlist the service of third-rate head hunting companies, which is useless even with huge quantity.

Second, this method will make every head hunting company refuse or dare not regard this client as sincere client or input the real energy in deeply seeking for candidates.

In fact, the correct method is to spend much effort in looking for a mature head hunting company that has better understanding of relevant industry and establish long-term stable cooperative relationships with it. A mature head hunting company can establish relations with the vast majority of excellent candidates within the industry in a very short period of time. A long-term cooperative head hunting company has a good knowledge of corporate culture and client's preference for the type of candidates so as to choose candidates more correctly and rapidly.
