Which option is better for hiring candidates - through consultancy or through job portals?

Please suggest which option is better for hiring candidates - through consultancy or through job portals. As my company is newly setup, we have around 12 openings right now..... My company strength is less than 20.

Self Sourcing via a job portal is recommended, provided you have an able resource in place. Else you may avail services of a referred consultant where you'd be supported with a replacement guarantee as well.

Hi Sakshi,
Ideally you can go ahead with the job portals like linkedin,Naukri & Monster.
They are cost effective.
If it doesn't work then think about the consultancy.

Hii Sakshi, Right option given by Pooja Ji, please use job portals and also share job opening details, so that also we can share to our network,

Hi Sakshi,
Though, we are newly setup organization and providing flat 50% on resourcing service with three months replacement provision. Please contact for further inquiry.

Ms. Sakshi !!
U may look into an option of recruiting thro' monster or naukri job portals. In addition, u will also require services of HR Recruiter. Since ur requirements are too less, above option may not be as cost effective as hiring of candidates thro' Consultants who will provide u with replacement guarantee too.
'Optimus Consultants' can look into ur Recruiting services.
