Recruiting is a large part of the HR department; never the less in many companies not nearly enough effort and resources are given to this task. Job boards have become a major resource in looking for talent, but the exorbitant costs are beyond the budget for small to mid-size companies. Using an agency at 20% - 30% of an annual salary is sometimes the best option for those hard to fill or special talent required positions; however a new trend is emerging. The alternative is a by-the-hour recruiter who works off-site. Companies will now be able to control the costs of hiring by setting the amount of hours worked each week, starting when they need to fill a position and stopping when it’s done. By-the-hour recruiters don’t take up space in your office, don’t make you sign a minimum three month contract and don’t make you buy additional resources such as job boards. This usually saves the company an average of 60% - 80% over traditional placement agencies. In many instances the positions are filled in just a few weeks.
