Hello! I’m a Talent Acquisition Manager at a 300 FTE sized gov contractor with 2 recruiters under me. One of my recruiters and I are both having babies in August and will be out for 12 weeks. She’s only coming back part time. My leadership already said no to hiring another full time recruiter. Has anyone had any good experience with contract recruiters? Or any advice for a short term solution?

Staffing/recruiting agency could work, at least you can check out their reputation, opposed to a contract recruiter. No way to know if they’ll be able to do the job or stick around. Then what if you need a replacement? And your out already..
