In honor of National Recruiter Day (May 30), we’re shining a light on these unicorns. Whether you’ve worked with one recruiter or several, you’ve probably noticed: when you find a good one, they’re like a unicorn—rare, strategic, and capable of making hiring magic happen.
Recruiters do a lot more than send resumes
A great recruiter becomes an extension of your internal team, understanding your hiring needs and advocating for your brand with every candidate interaction. Here’s what sets them apart:
- They get your culture. Unicorn recruiters don’t just look at skill sets—they consider team dynamics, work styles, and growth potential.
- They protect your time. Instead of sorting through 80+ applications, you see the top 3–5 candidates who actually fit.
- They offer market insight. From salary expectations to hiring trends, they keep you informed and competitive.
- They help with the hard stuff. From tough-to-fill roles to sudden staffing gaps, they’ve seen it all—and they have a plan.
How to Build a Strong Partnership with Your Recruiter
The best results happen when the relationship is built on trust, communication, and shared goals. Here’s how to get the most out of working with your recruiting partner:
- Be transparent. The more we know about your team, values, and hiring challenges, the better we can represent you.
- Give timely feedback. Quick input on candidates helps us refine and target the search efficiently.
- Think long-term. Don’t just use recruiters for one-off hires. Involve us in workforce planning, project-based staffing, or scaling efforts.
When we work together as true partners, it’s not just about filling roles—it’s about building teams that last.
A strong recruiter relationship isn’t transactional—it’s transformational. And when you find the right one, it’s hiring magic. I personally want to take a moment to pause and appreciate the unicorns on our team for helping us grow and providing superior customer service. Thanks, team!
