Ask HN: Agency vs. internal recruiters?
In your hiring experience, which have you preferred - outside agence or internal recruiter- and why? I appreciate it.
- a_lifters_life 10y agoInternal - always, they have much more 'skin' in the game, and i've found typically have more motivation than some outside firm.
- JSeymourATL 10y agoOutside agency, with true domain expertise. Typically found the best work on an mixed upfront fee, with a success-fee incentive arrangement due upon completing the hiring process. Agency guys eat what they kill, they hustle. Internal guys (often HR Flunkies) lack business acumen and drive for results.
