The power of an exclusive recruitment campaign

An exclusive recruitment partnership is one of the most powerful ways to find a candidate who fits the vision for your business. Relationships are everything to us at One Eighty, and developing a rich relationship with an exclusive client puts us in an even better position to find their perfect fit. Here’s why recruitment exclusivity is in your best interest…

Saves you time to focus on other areas

One job brief and one recruitment expert. It’s as simple as that. No multiple agency briefings or repeated conversations with different people, saving you both time and energy — two of your most valuable resources. It’s about responsibility and accountability too; consider it out of your hands now and the recruiters’ job to deliver for you, and to deliver well. At One Eighty, we work end to end — so we’ll take care of the job ad, the comprehensive search, the screening of candidates, setting up interviews, and the contract negotiations. You’ve now got capacity to shift your focus to other areas of your business, and leave the entire recruitment process to the experts. 

Quality and commitment over everything else

Our aim is to find you the best candidate, not the best candidate that week. There is a difference, and working with multiple different recruitment parties will often have you end up with the best candidate of that week. Partnering exclusively with a recruiter gives them the time to comb networks, explore databases, talk to people, and tap into the passive talent market. One Eighty’s recruitment experts always carry out a thorough process no matter the client or brief, but working exclusively with a client physically gives them more time to do that comprehensive search. Commitment is important here — clients may think that a recruiter will do a better job when they are in competition with other agencies, but a lack of client commitment is likely to have a less than desired end result. We’ll be completely transparent with you — sometimes it isn’t always possible to find the right candidate for a role. However, if this is the case, our recruitment consultants will always come back to you with a suggestion for plan B. Sometimes it’s just a change of tactics or an adjustment of the scope that’s needed to find success, but full transparency and strong communication will always be guaranteed.

Better brand image

Recruitment branding is everything; candidates want to work for a reputable company, and often a recruitment process provides them with valuable insight. Using one recruiter avoids the devaluation of the advertised role, which can happen easily when the job is represented by multiple recruiters. Having one accurate market message results in a better candidate experience, and each candidate is ensured to receive the same story — not different versions from different recruiters. This means that everyone, including you as a client, the recruiter, and the potential candidates, are all on the same page.

One Eighty’s recruitment experts deliver results, but if we don’t think we can find the right person, we’ll come back to you and suggest a change of scope. Transparency is always key, and that’s the beauty of exclusivity — the rich relationship we have with our clients means that we’re not afraid to have those tough conversations.
