What is a professional service?

The technology industry, due to the massification of internet, mobile devices and in general to the multiple information technologies (I.T.), has had an exponential growth in the last 20 years, and everything indicates that this trend will continue, altogether in the short, medium and long term.

Fortunately, this boom has meant an increase in the demand for professionals trained in the multiple areas of IT, such as programming, engineering, analysis, among others. This has opened endless opportunities for the labor market, but at the same time has created new challenges for companies in search of talent and competitive professionals.

This is due to the fact that every day it is more complicated and expensive for companies to create in-house groups dedicated to the evaluation and recruitment of professionals, since the Human Resources teams that generally carry out these processes must be trained to a greater or lesser extent to know and be able to correctly evaluate the candidates, as it is highly technical and specific knowledge. On the opposite, forming a group of professionals with knowledge and experience in IT for recruitment would be extremely costly and inefficient.

On the other hand, companies also have the challenge of generating the terms of reference, CV analysis, in addition to the multiple filters for recruitment in the shortest possible time due to the nature and urgency of the projects.

Because of all this and more, today we are going to talk to you about Outsourcing and Headhunter, two of our professional services at Linexperts. We want to tell you which elements characterize them and how they can be the perfect solution for you and your company.

What is the difference between Outsourcing and Headhunter?

In the Headhunter process, what we offer is to carry out the whole process of search and evaluation of candidates for one or more specific positions, determining whether they meet the terms of reference and whether or not they would be the right people for those positions. Once the process is finished, our client receives from us the information of the best candidates, so that he/she is the one who makes the decision and makes the hiring directly with the employee.

On the other hand, in the Outsourcing process we are the ones who hire the talent. Therefore, it is an excellent option when you only need the professional for a specific project in a specific time, or if on the contrary you need a professional with another profile, since all these changes do not have any additional cost.

The importance of knowledge

There are many professionals, but talent is really scarce. Through Outsourcing and Headhunter what we do is precisely to find the best professionals in the IT areas that our clients need.

Determining the knowledge of the candidates is perhaps one of the keys to find the right talent for each vacancy, that is why throughout the recruitment process we do up to 34 tests, which focus on the specific knowledge of the skills required for the position, whether technical, analytical or managerial.

Constant monitoring

During the different stages of recruitment our clients will be able to have constant monitoring, in which they will have information on how many people have applied for the position, how many of them comply with the terms of reference and other information.

Additionally, if the client in the middle of this process considers that adjustments should be made to the profile for the vacancy, it will be done without any inconvenience. This is especially relevant in Outsourcing.

Record time

Building a professional team should not be a task that takes too much time, because as we mentioned before, companies meet defined deadlines to generate their deliverables, this makes the hiring process must be done in the shortest possible time, which often results in candidates without the knowledge or experience necessary for the position, stay with them.

You will always have the last word

One of the most repeated concerns when you recur to the Headhunter process is that you end up hiring a person who cannot integrate or successfully articulate with the already consolidated work team.

We know the importance of communication and work dynamics, even in some cases this being more important than the technical knowledge of the candidates, that is why at the end of the recruitment process Linexperts gives its clients several options of candidates to choose from, with the assurance that each of these people has the knowledge and skills to perform the desired position. At the end of the day, you will have the last word.
