You're the hiring manager with a major company, and you've just been given the task of hiring 5 new professionals within a 30 day time frame. Perhaps a nearly impossible task, you choose to distribute your positions to several contingency recruiting firms, in hopes that someone can find a "needle in a haystack." The problem is, if the recruiter finds your new hire, you'll be in the hole between 25 - 30% of the new employee's first year's salary. While their service does provide you with a value you really need, it would be nice if there was something that didn't take such a bite out of your department's budget.
The good news is there are alternative staffing agencies popping up across the web, that specialize in finding you the quality talent you are seeking, for a fraction of the cost. These companies harness the power of technology, powerful niche job boards, social networking, and other methods to effectively find the ideal candidate for your open jobs, and connect both parties. These quasi-staffing companies never charge any up front fees to handle your jobs, and employ staffs of thousands of recruiters who work in unison to fill your open positions. Instead of charging the typical and customary fees charged for years by Recruiting Agencies, employers can expect to pay anywhere between three to ten percent of the first year's annual salary.
Whether it's the ease of use, the affordable cost, or the satisfaction guarantee that comes as part of using this recruiting alternative, one thing that is for sure, is alternative staffing solution companies are here to stay.
