Or as Forrest Gump once said: “Me and Jenny goes together like peas and carrots.”

Here’s why that setup works—and why more companies are doing it.

1. You Get a Bigger, Better Talent Pool

Your internal team can handle job ads, sift resumes and manage the process well. But most of that taps into active candidates—the ones applying right now.

A niche agency brings in the passive candidates. These are people who aren’t job hunting but would move for the right opportunity. They’re often the top performers—and they’re not looking at job boards.

When you combine both sources, you don’t just get more candidates. You get a better range to compare—from culture fit to hands-on experience.

2. You Only Pay If They Deliver

There’s no upfront fee with a specialist recruiter. No long-term contract. No retainer.

You only pay if they actually find you the right person.

That makes it a zero-risk way to expand your reach and bring in higher quality options—without increasing your fixed costs.

If your internal team fills the role first, great. If not, you’ve got backup that only costs you if it works.

3. Less Noise, More Quality

Anyone who’s tried to fill a technical role knows the pain—dozens of resumes, most of them off the mark. Your internal team ends up wasting hours reviewing resumes that miss the brief.

Specialist recruiters know the space. They understand what a Dynamics 365 F&O consultant does. They know what tools and systems matter and how to spot real experience vs buzzwords.

That means fewer pointless interviews—and more candidates who actually have the skills you need.

4. They Help You Move Faster

In-demand candidates don’t wait around. By the time you’ve posted the job, gathered applications, shortlisted and set up interviews, the good ones are gone.

A specialist agency can cut that time down. They already know who’s out there, who’s open to a move and how to get them talking quickly.

That speed can be the difference between landing the right hire—or starting again in 6 weeks.

It’s Not a Competition

Your internal team knows your company. A specialist agency knows the market.

Put them together and you’ve got the best of both—like peas and carrots.

It’s not about replacing what’s already working—it’s about strengthening it. You get broader reach, more relevant candidates and no cost unless it works.

And when it comes to filling niche roles like Microsoft Azure or Dynamics 365, having your internal team and a specialist working side by side is what makes it work.

That’s the kind of partnership even Forrest would say just makes sense.
