# 1 Myth about Recruiting Firms
The number one myth about recruiting firms is that they are too expensive. Most people focus on the placement fee and conclude that it is less expensive to do it themselves. Why is this a myth? First, most companies don’t take their internal overhead costs into account. These costs, including the time it takes to post the job, sort the resumes, prescreen the candidates and schedule interviews are easily overlooked. Second, most companies don’t take into account how much a top performing candidate can contribute to the company in the short and long-term. Recruiting firms, like JK Consultants, who specialize in recruiting top performers, do all the recruiting and prescreening to ensure there is the tightest fit between the candidate and the company – these candidates hit the ground running and makes a difference. Third, a recruiting firm can actually save a company money by leveraging their recruiting and industry expertise.
The truth is, JK Consultants can do much more for your business. We have years of experience serving companies by recruiting those hard to find top performers.
