Low Cost Recruitment

View the Article: http://www.recruitersite.co.uk/news/lowcostrecruitment-89.htm

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.

View the Article: http://www.recruitersite.co.uk/news/thinkrecruitingthinkflatfee-81.htm

The flat fee 'fee' is charged before the advertising assignment starts and some recruiters offer guarantees that if a required number of CV's aren't produced or the vacancy isn't filled they will re-advertise the position.
For companies looking to get a more enhanced service there are options to have the response 'sifted' by consultants to give companies the best selection of CV's that have been received. (please note that this type of service requires the input from a recruitment consultant and will cost considerably more than the basic fixed fee advertising service). This is the point where the internal HR department takes over to shortlist candidates from the CV's received and arrange interviews.

The Lucrative Market of Flat Fee Recruitment

View the Article: http://www.recruitersite.co.uk/news/thelucrativemarketofflatfeerecruitment-63.htm

Staying ahead of the e-recruitment revolution.

Any recruiter knows that finding the right talent for your clients recruitment campaign before your competitor is crucial, and is essential to your business's success..No surprises there!

However with traditional recruitment methods being challenged by the shift in availability of online services to corporate companies, recruiters need to be far more entrepreneurial and inventive than ever before to compete in the e-recruitment arena. Recruiters need to be experts on the best use of internet based e-recruitment services to source top talent whilst working to tighter budgets and deadlines. Flat Fee recruitment is a perfect accompaniment to traditional recruitment methods and is an ideal way to offer clients a way of reducing their cost per hire whilst not increasing yours.

So what is of Flat Fee Recruitment

Flat Fee recruitment is an online recruitment / e-recruitment service that is seen as a speedy and flexible alternative to traditional recruitment methods and can be used by clients to reduce their cost per hire by keeping the majority of their recruitment process in house.

Flat fee / Fixed Fee services all follow the same process of web optimised advertising, CV screening and filtering then providing employers with a pool of relevant and quality candidates prior to the in-house interview process.

Flat Fee Stage 1. The job we love to hate.

With 8 out of 10 people now using the internet to find their next job, online recruitment or e-recruitment is proving to be an indispensable resource in finding candidates. In order to tap into this

emerging talent pool recruiters need to get under the skin of the flat fee /fixed fee e- recruitment revolution and transfer these benefits mixed with their own unique selling points to offer their clients an additional service that compliments other recruitment income revenue streams.

Rule number one is transfer what they are looking for into a web optimised job advert magnet, so whoever is looking will find your job post first. Gone are the days of cutting and pasting a few lines of job spec text and crossing your fingers. The most successful e-recruitment and flat fee companies employ the use of copy writers or at the very least follow detailed job writing guidelines (simple steps to writing a recruitment advertisement) for every role. The difference can be staggering. if your job appears on page one of search results rather than page 4 you can figure out which role will attract the best talent first.

Flat Fee Stage 2. Exposure, Exposure, Exposure.

Recruiters need to be aware of where to put the adverts to be found. With over 1000 job boards out there and growing daily it can be a complete mine field with certain low traffic job board media wasting a lot of time and more importantly money. Recruitment consultants need to know who the most relevant job boards are with the most traffic in order to attract the broadest range of relevant candidates. A vital source of information is hit wise which will tell you the most trafficked sites.

Another very important point about exposure is that no single job board can continually return results and quite often some vacancies need to be placed on up to 5 job boards (niche and generic) to return the required candidates consistently.

Using e-recruitment resources to maximise your offering.

The recruitersite multipost platform is an excellent tool to kick of a Flat Fee / Fixed Fee division. The going rate for a flat fee service is between £495 for a scaled down service to £995 for full managed advertising campaigns so with recruitersite multipost advertising packages starting at just £89 it is easy to see why more and more recruitment agencies are now offering this type of service as an add on to their normal daily recruitment activity. The added benefit is that if they already operate in a niche sector they will be able to bring industry specific experience to enhance the Flat Fee / Fixed Fee process for their clients.

f you require more information on how our service can assist with the flat fee process or have any questions please do not hesitate to give us a call on 0845 604 8343
