Hiring guide

What to look for in a Recruiting freelancer

A strong recruiter protects your time by sending only candidates worth interviewing. Look for:

  • Experience recruiting for your type of role, since sourcing engineers differs from sourcing sales.
  • A real screening process, not just forwarding whoever applied first.
  • Strong sourcing skills to reach passive candidates, not only active job seekers.
  • Clear communication, because candidate experience reflects on your brand.
  • Honest reporting on pipeline and fit, not padding the numbers to look busy.

Ask how many candidates they typically screen to deliver one strong shortlist.
