You don't wanna regret later on by not going through additional recruitment steps.

You didn’t mention which additional step your employer went through but tell them to go through all 3 steps. I had the following 3 additional steps.

1. Job posting at employer’s website. (free)
2. Job posting at employer’s office (For referral through employees) (free)
3. Job posting through private employment (300 bucks for employer)
