On Wednesday the 2nd of July at 14:00 GMT, in-house recruiters will have the opportunity to learn about the next generation of recruitment technology via a free webinar courtesy of Elevate Direct.
Hiring contractors is one area of recruitment where in-house recruiters are still largely dependent on recruitment consultancies. In addition to sourcing suitably skilled contractors in the first place, there are a number of other complications such as co-employment issues, pay-rolling, supplier set up, time-sheeting, invoicing etc, which often make it easier to just use an agency.
However, as recruitment technology continues to evolve, one company ‘Elevate Direct’ has developed a direct contractor recruitment platform that streamlines all aspects of the contractor hiring process, within a single cloud based system.
The core advantage of the platform lies in its sourcing and matching technology. With tens of thousands of contractors registered on the platform, an employer simply needs to list their job on the system to be provided with an instant ranked list of matching candidates. The algorithm that matches the candidates doesn’t just look at day rate, availability, skills etc, but also at ‘cultural fit’ by analysing the career path of contractors.
Dan Collier, CEO of Elevate Direct says: “The system actually does the first sift to show hirers who's the best match for their role. Elevate actually makes sense of the jumbled mash of applicants you might otherwise receive via LinkedIn, or over email, saving you having to review every single applicant by hand. As an ex-contract recruitment agent myself, it’s really exciting to be developing technology that is changing the contingent recruitment landscape. We’ve had a lot of success so far with employers both large and small who were looking for a solution to recruit contractors directly”.
By automating the end to end process from sourcing all the way to payroll and invoicing, employers are able to significantly reduce the mark up’s they pay on contractor day rates; in some cases saving almost £1000 per contractor, per month in fees.
Elevate Direct will be hosting a free webinar for recruitment managers entitled ‘Recruiting Contractors Directly’ at 14:00 Wednesday 2nd of July, to provide a brief overview of the system. To register click on the following link:
