# Best Recruiting Agencies - Page 32 *By [Grace Savides](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/grace-savides)* Recruiting services providers assist organizations in seeking out qualified candidates for important, vacant roles. Sometimes referred to as “headhunters," recruiters use various methods to track down ideal individuals and reach out to them about specific positions, regardless of the candidate’s current employment status. Recruiting firms will oversee the first contact with qualified candidates, provide the hiring company with candidate profiles, and mediate any communication between the candidates and the organization. Typically, hiring managers and human resources staff will work with recruiting firms to expedite and simplify the hiring process.
