Comment on Ask HN: why do companies use 3rd party recruiters?

Comments

Obviously, from the Apple/Google/et al no-hire conspiracy we know that in-house recruiters get fired for trying to hire the best people from the wrong company. 3rd party recruiters don't have any such restrictions or fears.

Of course in house recruiters are more effective. They are sitting in front of a database with the job, job description, hiring guidelines, potential candidates, and have probably talked face to face with the person who posted the job. A 3rd party recruiter has none of that.
