One big issue that plenty of recruiters deal with is retention for new hires and it can create a lot of stress in the department of any firm. With a post hire it becomes very difficult to place blame on management or the initial recruiter and there can be some bad feelings.
Recruiters feel that their control is very limited because they don't have final say on who gets hire and they are often used more for sourcing these candidates. Managers will counter with the recruiter isn't doing their proper research to find the ideal candidate so many problems happen with the recruiter and manager.
In order for this to work, recruiters have to adopt the business objectives of their managers and follow it exactly. The manager has the responsibility to make sure this is understood and that recruiters are empowered so they feel more responsible with the results of employees.
What some companies do is that they will give their recruiters more say and more accountability in the process. They will allow for them to be involved from sourcing, recruiting, hiring, background checks, etc. up until they are hired and give them a say through the whole process if they feel a candidate isn't worthy. They also become more accountable financially for anything that happens to hired employees in the first year.
This has improved retention for those companies and the time-to-fill metrics for companies that have done this. This is the same thing with any type of business. As you get employees involved in the whole process they become more aware of their surroundings and willing to take care of customers or employees.
In the end no matter how many interviews and resumes you have, it comes down to recruiting right and finding that ideal candidate before your competition does. If you can quickly respond to the right resumes you are going to get valuable employees.
One of the best ways to do this is with a product that automates the process of recruiting talent. Companies like Entice Labs do a good job of sourcing passive candidates to find the right candidate in the right location.
So get to work and empower your recruiters if you are manager and make sure they are in line with your methods. If you are a recruiter then find ways to gain more authority and become more focused on creating great success for your department.
