In today’s competitive job market, companies are constantly on the hunt for top talent, often resulting in a barrage of recruiter calls and unsolicited applications. This reality recently hit home for one of our clients, who found himself overwhelmed after posting three open positions on LinkedIn. Almost immediately, the floodgates opened, and the calls from recruiters started pouring in. As he put it, “I’d be on the phone all day long just talking to recruiters if I had to answer all of those calls.” It’s a predicament faced by many hiring managers and HR professionals, especially those in leadership positions.
With over 2,000 recruiters in Ontario alone, hiring managers receive an average of 9 to 11 recruiting calls per week. The constant phone interruptions can make it difficult to focus on strategic priorities, adding frustration to an already demanding job. This is precisely why posting your own jobs online can backfire, particularly if you’re a senior leader trying to manage time effectively. The decision to post job openings may seem straightforward, but it can come with unintended consequences that complicate the hiring process.
Why It’s Better to Let Professionals Post Jobs for You
There are several reasons why companies should consider outsourcing job postings to experienced recruitment partners rather than doing it themselves. When a job is posted online, it acts as a signal to recruiters that there’s an open opportunity, often leading to aggressive outreach. While some recruiters can be a valuable resource, many will contact you simply to add your open positions to their pipeline, resulting in numerous unqualified resumes and unwanted phone calls.
By allowing a recruiting agency to handle the job posting, you gain a layer of protection from these interruptions. The agency can act as a buffer, screening applications, and only forwarding the most suitable candidates for consideration. This approach streamlines the hiring process, saves valuable time, and ensures that you’re only reviewing resumes that meet your criteria.
