Whether you’re experiencing high turnover, your star performer just resigned or you’re looking to build a stronger team to meet your future goals, working with a recruiting partner can help your team, department or company tackle hiring challenges.

When choosing a medical marketing recruiter, here are five signs you’ve found the right firm:

Your recruiter specializes in your industry and needs.

Recruiters who specialize in placing sales and marketing candidates spend their days learning the details of the industries they serve and building relationships with the professionals you’re looking for. When you partner with these recruiters, they can often provide a list of solid candidates off the top of their heads—not one weak lead every now and then.

Your recruiter listens (and encourages you to talk).

The best recruiters are dedicated to building relationships with their clients, which means listening. It also means encouraging clients to share information about their current staff, the challenges they face, the opportunities in front of them and what they’re looking for in a marketing professional. Choose a recruiter who listens, asks questions and makes it easy for you to contact them.

Your recruiter thinks long term.

When you first call a recruiter, you may be thinking about filling a position or meeting an immediate need. While recruiters are happy to work with you on today’s project, the best recruiters also think long term. Choose a recruiter who will work with you on strategic staffing over time, as well as on addressing urgent needs.

Your recruiter gets back to you quickly.

The more responsive your recruiter is, the easier it is to find candidates when you need them, create and release job postings, and shorten the time to hire—which increases your chances of landing your top candidate before they accept a position with a competing organization. When you reach out to recruiters, notice how long it takes each of them to respond to you.

Your recruiter turns your feedback into results.

What happens when you tell your recruiter how well (or poorly) a recommended candidate performed? Does the information appear to vanish into a “black hole,” or does it result in a more thoughtful and focused recommendation the second time around? The best recruiters listen and respond quickly because they want to apply your feedback to improving your experience—every time.
