experience in recruitment
The best recruiting firm is first and foremost one that has experience in your field of activity. He will be better able to understand your issues and identify the profiles of the candidates.

The rates, fees and payment terms charged by recruitment firms can be a real jungle.
Do not hesitate to ask the following questions to your interlocutor:
possible guarantees
We do not necessarily think about it, and yet, guarantees play an important role in the contract that you will sign with your recruitment service provider.
You can ask him:
interpersonal relationships
Finally, beyond the factual and objective criteria, do not put aside your feelings in the exchanges with the recruiter. Good communication is essential: to recruit the ideal person, you must first make it clear who you are and what you are looking for.
