A long, long time ago
in the 19th century
the recruitment process was very straight forward
Get your next generation offices …
Employ everyone in the locality …
and HR ensured the staff were happy.
Today, work has changed.
In the knowledge economy
more and more companies require …
highly skilled staff …
to work on a contract basis …
yet despite all our available technology …
it’s still difficult to find the right people…
What’s the problem?
In the past …
Companies placed job ads in the press or job boards
and processed the applicants.
The recruitment industry had an idea
“Give us your job ad” they said
“We’ll process the applications”
“and send you the 3 most qualified candidates”
Now hiring managers spend their time talking to recruiters
And occasional emails …
OK, a little noisy but still…
Those tasked with processing the applications
are not qualified to find you the nuclear physicist or
systems analyst you require…
so regularly, ill qualified candidates are presented
Is there more?
Recruiters position themselves between the company and contractor so nobody
knows who is being paid what
clearly, transparency is needed
Online recruitment
Online solutions are equally poor
Job postings are rarely removed
and false jobs are regularly posted
to feed the recruiters CV database
Can you get away with that?

Money
Some are doing well …
More money
… some are doing really well …
… while some are just too comfortable
‘Well there was three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded’.
The solution
We believe it’s possible for companies and contractors to connect DIRECTLY…
Instead of putting the job advert at the centre of the process …
… we put the person at the centre of the process …
… and add some much needed features.
Employers are looking for a transparent and efficient way to get the right IT
contractors
Contractor Money
… and contractors are looking for a fair return.
