My friend and I trimmed her tree the other day to save her the money. I know a little about how to shape a tree, but frankly, I’m not sure hers will ever recuperate from our efforts! Not to mention that it took hours, and my back ached for days after. I’ve concluded that hiring an expert makes all the difference.
Every fall for many years, we’ve had the same knowledgeable tree trimmer attend to our trees, unlike our neighbors who have hired whomever happened to knock on their door. The difference between our trees and theirs is distinctly noticeable. While the neighbors’ trees suffer in disgrace and look awkward for months, our trees continue to bring beauty to every corner of our yard, having been artfully shaped and thinned.
The same principle applies to your business. When you need to attract, interview, and hire a qualified employee, partnering with an expert in professional recruiting is just as imperative. As a technical expert who specializes in recruiting, your staffing partner will save you time, allowing you to focus on the things that make your company money. But they’ll also have access to better candidates than you could locate on your own, and present them in a timely manner. Better processes truly equal better hires.
I always pause when I have to write that check for hundreds of dollars to our tree trimmer. But the truth is, I couldn’t have accomplished the artful job his crew did in half a day, even if I’d spent more than a week doing it! And I’d still have a huge mess to clean up afterwards. Decidedly, I’m much better off hiring an expert.
