Contingent recruitment panels/PSAs don’t work, in my opinion. The thought that you’ll get a better spread of candidates & recruiters will work harder for you in competition is an utter falsehood. I’ve decided not to take on any contingent work or be a part of any panel agreements unless I’m used exclusively for specific roles. When clients engage me exclusively, they place their 100% faith in me to deliver. I feel that pressure every day. I lose sleep over it & it profoundly motivates me to ensure I deliver them the best possible talent there is available. When you’re working contingently, it’s a sprint race; you cut corners, don’t qualify people properly, and you’re just trying to get to people before others call them & sling their CVs to the client. It leads to a terrible candidate/client experience; you don’t have time for due diligence or in-depth sourcing, meaning you won't access the best available talent. #softwarerecruitment #contingent #exclusive #panels #psa
