Midlands-based specialist marketing recruitment agency, Soap Recruitment, has launched Soap Skinny, its low cost online recruitment service aimed at saving SMEs and corporate businesses thousands in recruitment fees for the right marketing, PR, digital, creative and business development staff.
Soap Skinny, which currently comprises four marketing recruitment plans, ranging from £195 to £595 plus VAT, focuses solely on attracting marketing, PR, digital, creative and specialist business development talent for a UK-wide client base. Its plans include options ranging from generalist and specialist job board advertising to CV database searching and headhunting.
Mark Manton, managing director at Soap Recruitment, says: "Despite the economic situation the job market is remaining positive, but businesses of all sizes are under increasing pressure to cut hefty recruitment costs. Marketing activity underpins business growth, so these companies need good marketers to prosper, but traditional consultancy fees in the thousands of pounds for a single placement are prohibitive for many businesses looking to grow.
“Soap Skinny's flat fee recruitment plans, which start from £195, will provide those companies looking to hire marketing, PR, digital, creative and business development talent with access to highly skilled candidates at a fraction of the usual cost, which can only be good news.”
The industry-specific job boards that Soap Skinny advertises vacancies on, such as Brand Republic, PR Week, The Drum, Revolution and Only Marketing Jobs, work by getting clients’ job vacancies in front of the right candidates, at the right time, delivering high quality applications with a minimum of cost, time and hassle.
Mark Manton added: “With typical recruitment agency fees anywhere between 15 to 20 per cent of a candidate’s gross salary, a company offering a £25,000 salary for a marketing role stands to pay up to £5,000 in fees if the successful candidate is recruited via a recruitment consultancy. Soap Skinny’s premium marketing recruitment plan, which includes both specialist and generalist job advertising, CV database searching and headhunting, is priced at just £595, offering exceptional value. It’s a major saving of around 90 per cent and our clients particularly value the specialist marketing job board access we offer as well as being able to deal with people who properly understand marketing and creative disciplines.”
Soap Recruitment was launched in 2010 by marketing industry professionals and now offers a traditional marketing recruitment agency service alongside its newly launched flat fee recruitment service, remaining 100 per cent focused on the marketing, creative, digital and PR job functions.
