Not true. Companies hire recruiters to find employees. Not all companies (especially startups) have their own internal recruiting department.
The flip side is true, though: as a company trying to hire people, every recruiter email that says "I have a perfect candidate for you" is junk. They just invent those people or send resumes of people who aren't even on the job market.
- uiri 10y agoRecruiting (and hiring) is a core competency for every company. Especially for startups. A founder should personally be handling recruiting until the company is big enough to have their own internal recruiting department.
- obstacle1 10y agoMassive difference between sourcing candidates and interviewing/making hiring decisions. If a founder is doing the former it's probably that she's wasting a massive amount of time and there is a huge opportunity cost there. Recruiters have their place.
