The Benefits of Partnering with an External Recruitment Company for Sales, Marketing & Administrative Profiles

12 February 2025

Finding qualified candidates for Sales, Marketing, and Administrative roles can be a complex and time-consuming process. This is why more and more companies are choosing to collaborate with external recruitment specialists, such as Sarawak. This approach offers numerous advantages, not only by speeding up the process but also by providing access to a broader network of talents and expertise. By implementing a standardized, professional, and efficient method, the chances of a successful hire increase significantly. At Sarawak, we provide two approaches: headhunting and outsourcing. After an in-depth intake interview, our in-house recruitment consultants get to work on your request.

Sarawak has been a trusted partner in headhunting and outsourcing for over 10 years. Thanks to our close partnerships with various universities and colleges (guest lectures, internships, etc.), we can attract young talent and provide them with opportunities in the corporate world.

Advantages of Working with an External Partner

Access to a Wider Pool of Talent: We have a vast network in the FMCG, Consumer Electronics and Beauty industries. Additionally, thanks to our years of experience, we have built a relevant and valuable talent pool with numerous potential candidates. Our Recruitment Consultants are in contact with both active job seekers and passive candidates who may not respond to traditional job postings. By approaching both groups in a warm and engaging manner, we can quickly respond to your company’s needs.

Saving Time and Resources: Recruiting staff, publishing job postings, screening candidates and conducting high-quality interviews, requires a lot of time and internal resources. Sarawak takes over this process and often delivers faster results due to our specialized focus.

Expertise in Recruitment and Selection: Sarawak has the necessary experience to match the right candidate with the right role. We understand the specific requirements of Sales, Marketing, and Administrative profiles and know how to find the perfect fit for your organization.

Quality Over Quantity: Thanks to our expertise in screening and assessments, Sarawak ensures that only the most suitable candidates are presented. This increases the likelihood of a successful match and a sustainable working relationship. If a search proves to be challenging, we proactively propose adjustments to revise either the job description or the role’s scope.

Flexibility in Workforce Management: Depending on your company’s needs, Sarawak can provide short- or long-term support, ideal for supporting peak periods or temporary projects.

Headhunting vs. Outsourcing: Two Recruitment Models

External recruitment companies typically offer two models to meet diverse business needs: headhunting and outsourcing.

1. Headhunting

Headhunting involves finding a candidate who is directly hired by the client. The recruitment company receives a finder’s fee based on the profile and the complexity of the search.

Advantages of headhunting with Sarawak:

Full Employment Control: The employee is directly on the client’s payroll, providing full control over the employment relationship.

Long-Term Relationship: Perfect for companies looking to establish a lasting partnership with their employees.

No Exclusivity Requirement: You are free to work with multiple recruitment partners.

3-Month Guarantee: If the hired candidate does not meet expectations, we offer a replacement without any additional cost.

2. Outsourcing

With outsourcing, the employee remains on the external recruitment company’s payroll while providing services to the client. The client receives a monthly invoice for the services rendered.

Why Do Companies Choose Outsourcing with Sarawak?

Flexibility: Ideal for short-term projects, temporary replacements, or when companies prefer not to commit to long-term employment contracts.

Reduced Administrative Burden: We handle all payroll administration, including social security contributions, vacation pay, and other legal obligations.

Focus on Core Business Activities: By outsourcing staff management, companies can focus entirely on their strategic goals.

Lower Risks: Companies can quickly scale up or down in response to workload fluctuations or changing economic conditions.

Why Choose Sarawak?

At Sarawak, we go beyond merely finding candidates. Our team of experienced recruitment consultants understands that every company is unique and that recruitment requires a tailored approach. With over 10 years of experience in headhunting and outsourcing, we collaborate with educational institutions to attract top talent.

Our flexible and client-focused approach makes the difference. We do not require exclusivity and offer a 3-month guarantee on our headhunting services. For outsourcing, we ensure that you remain flexible while benefiting from the expertise of our professionals without administrative concerns.

Conclusion

Partnering with an external recruitment company like Sarawak not only saves companies time but also provides access to a unique network of talent and flexible workforce management. Whether you choose the headhunting model, where the employee joins your payroll, or outsourcing, which offers maximum flexibility, Sarawak ensures a reliable and customized service.
