Third Party Recruiting
- Before advertising is considered an important decision needs to be taken whether to use third parties in any way in the recruitment process.
- Third-party recruiters are organizations, or individuals recruiting candidates for temporary, part-time, or full-time employment opportunities other than for their own needs.

Recruiting Evaluation
Quantity of applicants: Because the goal of a good recruiting program is to generate a large pool of applicants from which to choose, quantity is a natural place to begin evaluation. Is it sufficient to fill job vacancies?
EEO goals met: The recruiting program is the key activity used to meet goals for hiring protected-class individuals.
This is especially relevant when a company is engaged in affirmative action to meet such goals.
Is recruiting providing qualified applicants with an appropriate mix of protected-class individuals?

Recruiting Evaluation
Quality of applicants: In addition to quantity, there is the issue of whether the qualifications of the applicant pool are sufficient to fill the job openings. Do the applicants meet job specifications, and can they perform the jobs?
Cost per applicant hired: Cost varies depending on the position being filled, but knowing how much it costs to fill an empty position puts turnover and salary in perspective.
The greatest single expense in recruiting is the cost of having a recruiting staff. Is the cost for recruiting employees from any single source excessive?

Recruiting Evaluation
Time required to fill openings: The length of time it takes to fill openings is another means of evaluating recruiting efforts.
Are openings filled quickly with qualified candidates, so the work and productivity of the organization are not delayed by vacancies?
Applicants might provide input on how they were treated, their perceptions of the company, and the length of the recruiting process and other aspects.
