Why Work with Huntress – even if you have an internal talent team?

Hiring the right people is critical to your business success. While many organisations have in-house talent acquisition teams, partnering with a specialist recruitment agency like Huntress can provide valuable support, speed up hiring, and ensure you don’t miss out on top talent.

Here are 5 reasons why working with Huntress alongside your internal recruitment strategy makes sense:

1. Access to a larger talent pool

Finding great candidates isn’t just about posting job ads. Some of the best talent isn’t actively looking for a new role – but they could be open to the right opportunity. Huntress has built an extensive network of active and passive candidates, meaning we can get your role in front of people you might otherwise miss. In fact, passive candidates make up 70% of the global workforce, according to LinkedIn. That’s a huge pool of talent that we can help you tap into.

2. Market knowledge & expertise

Hiring for technical, niche, or specialist roles can be challenging, especially if your internal team doesn’t have direct experience in that area. Our recruiters specialise in key markets and keep up to date with industry trends, salary expectations, and the skills required for different roles. This expertise means we can quickly identify the right talent and guide you through a competitive hiring landscape.

3. Save time & resources

Recruitment is time-consuming. Sourcing, screening, and shortlisting candidates can take valuable hours away from your internal team. You may get lots of candidates apply to your online ads, but assessing the suitability of that candidate pool can be time-consuming and frustrating, particularly with the rise of AI generated responses.  At Huntress, we do the heavy lifting for you, ensuring that only the most suitable candidates with a genuine interest in your role and company make it to your desk. This allows your team to focus on strategic hiring decisions rather than spending time on admin-heavy processes.

4. Faster hiring & reduced vacancies

A prolonged hiring process can impact productivity and team morale. Because we have a ready-to-go talent network, we can often find the right candidate faster than traditional recruitment methods. Whether you have an urgent requirement, a specialist role to fill, or need temporary support, we can help you reduce the time to hire and keep your business running smoothly.

5. Support for internal talent teams

Even if you have a strong internal talent acquisition function, there are times when additional support is needed. Maybe you have an unexpected hiring surge, a challenging role to fill, or need temporary or contract workers fast. Huntress can act as an extension of your team, helping you meet your hiring goals efficiently and effectively.

Let’s work together

Your internal talent team does great work—but sometimes, having a recruitment partner like Huntress can make all the difference. Whether you need help with hard-to-fill roles, urgent vacancies, or market insights, we’re here to support your hiring strategy.
