Tender Recruitment, the London based Internet company, has launched a new website designed to change the way employers use recruitment agents. The website makes it easier for employers to use multiple recruitment agents to source candidates - giving employers the best chance of finding the right person for the job.
Employers typically use only one or two recruitment agents to fill a job vacancy. Instructing each additional recruitment agent involves research into the capabilities of the proposed agent, a review of new terms and conditions and agreeing fees - all without actually knowing whether there are any suitable candidates on that agent’s books. Tender Recruitment solves this problem by making the whole process more open and actually allowing the employer to see the candidates before choosing a recruitment agent.
Employers post a job vacancy on the site, prompting recruitment agents to send in only their best two CVs per vacancy. This way, the employer receives only the best candidates from a wider pool of agents. The agents and the employer are all protected by the website’s recruitment terms and conditions, which also cuts out the need for multiple negotiations with each agent. The employer can even set a cap on the maximum recruitment fee he is willing to pay.
James Hughes director of Tender Recruitment said, “by spreading the net wider but, at the same time, insisting on only the best 2 CVs per recruiter Tender Recruitment opens up a whole new world of quality candidates that the employer would never otherwise have seen. A national football coach would never pick the national team from one or two local clubs. He picks the best players from all the clubs in the country. So it is with Tender Recruitment”.
