✅ Have a dedicated point of contact for each department's hiring needs and book in weekly touch points with your agency to discuss any bottle necks or challenges. Consider adding your agency to a Slack hiring channel to share continuous updates.
✅ Set timescales and expectations from both parties ahead of a hiring project and stick to them. Agree on feedback times, cv reviews and interview scheduling - we always push for 24 hour feedback and have found that fine tuning this drastically reduces time to hire.
