Great news! We have recently secured significant funding from HSBC to allow us to build our UK team with a view to selling our Low Cost Recruitment service on a global scale.
We are looking to have a team of minimum 10 sales professionals who can sell across the world within the next two years and be number one in the market. International expansion could also be on the cards, we are certainly aiming as high as they can.
As you know, we recently launched an innovative recruitment model and have seen interest not just from the UK but also in the Middle East, mainland Europe and the Far East. We have helped businesses fill a wide variety of roles, from warehouse positions all the way to international sales positions, as our strapline says, we can fill any role, anywhere.

A client and respected business man certainly does not think so. Read below…

In these tough trading times everyone is looking at ways of reducing costs and when you are offered something for free ( Yes I do know the old adage) by the numerous job boards that are around, I was tempted, what was there to lose?

I allocated the responsibility of sifting through the applications to one of my managers with recruitment experience and set up a reply process for those that were not to be invited for interview, we followed the advise given when composing our listing, which we were told would filter applications, ensuring as best a fit as possible, and posted our vacancy.

Response was fairly swift , we received approximately 10 calls a day (from Recruitment agencies offering their services !!) for the first week followed by dozens of applications. Though we were quite specific in the type of person we required ( as you are aware) and had filtered accordingly, not one of the applicants matched even 20% of our requirements.

The use of the jobs board was regretted very quickly and we removed our listing (or I should say attempted to, it took over 3 weeks!) It had tied up 2 members of my team, preventing them from fully carrying out their normal duties and resulted in no interviews.

The experience was far from being “free” and despite being offered the service again on numerous occasions I have not been tempted.

Just a thought, why if the service works would it have to be given away?

So, if you want to get your vacancies filled quickly, the cheapest route is not always the best.
