Evolution within Recruitment

So Spring is in the air and that means a new day, a new attitude and a fresh approach.

A well known evolutionianist once said that evolution eliminates the competition, well we really do agree with that sentiment. If one finds that there are too many competitors all competing for the same pie then one should change ones diet - adapt or die!

This is so relevant in the Recruitment industry as there are too many companies offering the same for the same, there is no USP or difference in how they approach employers and job-seekers, so much so that employers and job-seekers are a little disillusioned with the whole industry, which is a shame especially in this economic climate.

Brick and mortar recruitment agencies (in my opinion) are becoming giants that are sluggish on profit and arrogance based on the last 15 years of unprecedented growth. We will soon be finding that employers and job-seekers are going to be looking at alternative ways of finding a job or how that job/role is advertised to the open market, and right now that market is wide open.

SugarJobs has taken a new approach to this recruitment model by allowing employers and job-seekers to get in touch with each other directly - whoa, whoa I hear you say!! This is exactly what I mean adapt or die.
By adopting this approach we have found that employers can save massive amounts of time as well as budget by talking directly to job-seekers and vice versa.

This cannot be a negative but can only be seen as a postive step in a massively bloated sector that is crying out for any change. In this economic climate one must be really aware of who the market is and what they need and when they need it, by adopting this model SugarJobs will be driving this into the industry and hoping to make a fresh clean approach within the recruitment industry and you are most welcome to join us.
