Recruiting and qualifying candidates to hire is just about the last thing most managers want to do. It takes time, energy, and gets in the way of getting your job done. Working with an experienced, well regarded professional recruiter can shorten the process, take the work off your shoulders, and ensure you find the best candidate for the job. MPPC members are tops in their fields – they all have a deep knowledge of their industry, robust candidate databases, and the ability to unearth hidden candidates – the ones who currently have a job and are not actively looking for a new one.

Our member professional recruiters work with you every step of the way – from rewriting job descriptions to playing a key role in salary negotiations. Here’s a summary of how it works:

A well-written job description is key to finding the right candidate in the shortest amount of time. Prior to beginning a search, a professional recruiter will work with you to:

• Refine job descriptions 

• Clarify specific job requirements 

• Rank order job qualifications 

• Provide competitive salary information and industry trends 

Once the job description is set, the recruiter can get to work to uncover appropriate candidates. Their methods can include:

• Focused, aggressive personal recruiting

• Large internal databases

• Web-based research 

• Extensive industry contacts and networks 

• Connections with trade groups

• Well targeted advertising

Potential candidates from all these sources are then screened to ensure appropriate experience and fit with your criteria. Only the top candidates for the job are referred to the employer for consideration, saving you time and aggravation.

MPPC recruiters can also perform reference checks, schedule interviews, and debrief candidates to provide post-interview feedback. And, when you are ready to make an offer, they can provide you with a fair understanding of current industry salaries and act as an intermediary during negotiations.
