Direct Placement and Recruitment: Streamlining your Hiring Processes

March 15, 2024

Save Valuable Resources with a Trusted Recruiting Partner

It’s no secret that the underlying fees and time commitment involved with hiring can add up rather quickly, especially if you have a large property with multiple positions to staff. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the benefits of direct placement and partnering with a recruiting firm to ease your staff-related stress.


Lower cost to your bottom line: If we hash out all of the costs you’ll accrue from online job listings, onboarding fees, negotiating and training, it’s clear to see why having a recruiting partner will ultimately save you much-needed budget dollars. SHRM clocks the average hiring cost per employee at an average of $4129—If you’re looking for a permanent hire to transition smoothly onto your team and to avoid temporary employees, consider direct placement and invest those resources elsewhere!


Saving precious time: We are well aware of the limited hours allotted daily for the plethora of tasks thrown at property managers. Do you really have the time to waste on below-average interviews, or worse, no-shows? And what about all those resumes you have to sift through just to find a few gems? It’s time to let a qualified recruiter take over. Our thorough vetting and screening processes are tried and true to ensure that we send you only the best candidates tailored specifically to your needs. Outsourcing direct placement services enables you to divide your time and attention to other areas of your occupation that you may have been neglecting.


Access to Top-Tier Talent: On that note, it’s worth repeating that the most time-consuming aspect of hiring is simply finding the right fit. Recruiters like us work directly with you or your HR/hiring team to specifically determine your ideal candidate. From there, we take over the rest! Rest assured that the options given to you will result from intensive interviewing and screening. Yup, no more awful interviews. Quality talent recognizes other quality talent, and recruiting specialists who pride themselves on their industry knowledge can better curate candidates for your open positions. Additionally, established recruiting firms have more connections and insight into the local talent pipeline, so the return time on candidate requests will be speedy and efficient.  


Dedicated Support: Recruiting specialists will readily communicate crucial information and updates every step of the way to reduce any room for error. In addition, follow-up is generally offered to ensure that the placed candidate is performing up to expectations and adhering to the standards set by your company. Rest assured that the choice is ultimately up to you, and if at any point in the recruiting process you are not satisfied with the presented candidates, we will go back to the drawing board.


For a low one-time fee, direct placement will add priceless long-term value to your team. Nexus IT Group also attributes direct placement to higher employee retention: “The long-term nature of a position filled by direct hiring methods will encourage employees to become more engaged with their work. This higher commitment will lead to higher employee retention and higher returns.”  No more revolving-door maintenance staff or short-term leasing agents!
