Fixed fee recruiters are a more cost-effective alternative to traditional recruitment agencies because they typically charge a flat fee for their services. This means that you will not have to pay the recruiter a percentage of the salary of the candidate that they help you hire.
Fixed fee recruiters will post your job advertisement to a range of job boards and then gather the applicant responses. They will submit these responses to you for review. You will then be able to interview the candidates and decide who to hire. The advantages of using a fixed fee recruiter include saving money on recruitment fees and having access to a larger pool of candidates.
How does a fixed price recruiter save you money?
When it comes to finding the right candidate for a job, businesses have a few different options. They can post the job on their own website or job boards, they can use a recruitment agency, or they can use a fixed fee recruiter. Of these three options, fixed fee recruiters are generally the most cost-effective. This is because they offer a similar service to recruitment agencies, but at a much lower fixed rate. So regardless of the salary you’re offering, you’ll pay the same amount. Fixed fee recruiters are also much cheaper than posting to individual job boards independently. When you factor in all of these costs, it’s easy to see why fixed fee recruiters are such a popular option for businesses.
Can a fixed price recruiter deliver a better quality of candidate?
When it comes to recruiting, businesses need to get the most bang for their buck. With so many job boards and websites out there, it can be difficult to make your ad stand out from the crowd. This is where a fixed fee recruiter can help. By optimising your ad and posting it with full employer branding to the best and most relevant job boards, you can ensure that your ad gets noticed by more relevant candidates. This not only saves you time and money, but it also increases your chances of finding the perfect candidate for the job. So if you’re looking for a cost-effective way to improve your recruitment process, consider a fixed fee recruiter.
The importance of branding your job adverts
You only need to go onto any major job board to see that the majority of these adverts are without company branding. This creates confusion for job seekers as they are unable to differentiate which company they are applying to.
If you make the smart decision to brand your job adverts (using your company logo and company name) you allow candidates to see exactly who you are, thus you stand out from the crowd. You also allow candidates an opportunity to research yoru company, they can see if they align with your company ethos, if they feel they will fit into the company culture. All of this will allow you to receive a better, and more relevant candidate for the your job opening.
How long are adverts live for?
The average life cycle of a job posting across our job board partners is 30 days, meaning your advert is live for 30 days. During this time we will filter through the applications as they come through.
Depending on the level of service you choose to select with us, our team of Recruitment Resourcers will go through each application and ensure that you are only presented with those who are relevant for the role. Therefore saving you precious time in the recruitment cycle.
Do fixed price recruiters only post an advert and do nothing else?
There are some fixed price recruiters who do simply post your advert and provide you with the applications. At Paragon Recruit we do things a little differently. We are committed to:
- Providing you with a Dedicated Account Manager
With every campaign we provide our clients with a dedicated Account Manager, who is their main point of contact. Our Account Managers are there to ensure the success of your recruitment campaign and will provide you with status updates on a regular basis.
