Low cost recruitment is now a real option to companies of all sizes. More and more corporate clients are trying out the low cost recruitment services that an increasing number of online recruitment companies are now offering as an extra service to the more traditional recruitment techniques.
The Traditional recruitment method of charging a percentage of the yearly salary to find suitable candidates for clients is being increasingly challenged by the low cost recruitment method or what is more commonly known as flat fee or fixed fee recruitment. The Low cost recruitment pricing structure works as a viable and cheaper alternative in filling vacancies of all types for one fixed cost rather than the traditional scalable yearly salary / percentage method.
The low cost recruitment process is quite straight forward. It involves the low cost recruitment company taking full details of what the client is looking for in terms of job specification, salary, location and number of candidates required. The low cost recruitment agent will then charge a one off fee to generate and source a number of candidates CV's that match the specification laid down by the client. The client can then take over the process in-house to interview and then finally short list and hire from the candidates the low cost recruitment agent has provided.
Low cost recruitment companies have access to the major online job boards and job sites and the more established low cost recruitment agencies also have access to CV data bases to assist in sourcing the right type of candidates for their clients. This ensures that the client's vacancies get maximum exposure across online recruitment media.
An increasing number of candidates search online job boards for vacancies, clients that use the low cost recruitment method can be assured their vacancies will nearly always get applications.
Many low cost recruitment companies are now offering guarantees to clients that if the advertising campaign doesn't attract the required number of candidates they will re advertise the campaign at no additional cost.
Companies that use this low cost recruitment method can also benefit from the additional services that low cost recruiters now offer such job advertisement copy writing. This allows the client to easily outsource the job advert writing task to the low cost recruitment agency, saving the HR department time, this task ensures the job specification is correctly optimised by the low cost recruitment agency to give the job advert prime positioning in search results on the job boards, which ultimately means any job seeker traffic will see their job advertisement first and gives the client a much better chance of securing the right candidate quicker.
Many low cost recruitment agencies use multipost advertising platforms such as recruitersite which reduces the time and cost to post jobs onto to the major job boards which means they can pass this cost saving onto their clients making the whole process a win- win.
With recruitment budgets being squeezed the low cost recruitment method is becoming an increasingly popular route because companies know the exact cost of the recruitment campaigns upfront and unlike traditional recruitment methods there is no extra charge for multiple hires which makes the low cost recruitment method extremely cost effective as well.
