For most companies, recruitment can take a big chunk out of your budget, especially if you use a recruitment agency, which could cost you anything upwards of £3K in fees.

One of the key factors in making recruitment a success is hiring great candidates from the start. This will save you a lot of time, expense and headaches down the line. For this reason, many owners and hiring managers feel they must go to an agency to find the best talent available, but this simply isn’t true.

Having worked in recruitment for nearly 20 years, mostly in agency recruitment, I am not going to sit here and bash the sector, as although it doesn’t have the best reputation, most agencies do a great job, operate ethical and can un-earth some amazing talent that may not be available elsewhere.

However – for at least 80% of the hires a typical company will make using a traditional recruitment company, the shortlisted applicants and ultimately the successfully hired candidate would of all applied to the agency through a job advertisement they placed, for your vacancy online, albeit via a job board, aggregator like indeed or on social media.

So, you end up paying, £3K, £4K, perhaps even £6K if they are a senior appointment, when you could have advertised the role across all the leading job boards, online platforms and social media, with Blue Rocket Recruitment for just £399, yes, that’s it – £399! We’ll even write your advert for you!

All of the applicants will appear in your very own, company branded, cloud-based candidate dashboard. All applicants will be ranked in order of their suitability. You can review, contact, set up interviews from any device at any time. What’s more you can hire, 2, 4 or 10 candidates and wont ever pay a penny more. The candidate dashboard is yours, to store candidates’ details, sort into folders and use in the future, whenever you need to hire again – all GDPR compliant and at no extra cost.

So, before you use an agency for your next job vacancy, consider using Blue Rocket. We are changing the way companies recruit by offering simple, effective, and affordable online recruitment solutions for business of all shapes and sizes.

Let’s be honest, most traditional recruitment agencies have charged too much, for too little, for too long?
