the recruitment process

10. Recruitment crowdsourcing – best practice
• Offering has to work for employers and recruiters
– Employers need access to the whole recruitment supply chain
– Recruiters need an effective economic model
• Facilitation rather than management
– Let the recruiter know who the employer is
– Allow them to engage with each other
• Need to cover permanent and contract
– Allows even the smallest firm to engage on contract roles
– Fully compliant: salary and margin paid every week.
• Delivers market insight
– Recruiter metrics (in-house and external)
– Immediate market feedback

• Industry polarisation will continue
– The ‘run faster’ model of recruitment will continue to decline
– Technology-driven efficiency or highly niche will be the main models
• Direct hiring will continue evolve
– Indirect hiring likely to rise across a number of areas
– Continue to evaluate and adopt new ideas
– Turn metrics into market intelligence
• Crowdsourcing will disrupt the industry
