Creative Staffing and Recruiting

Merge the best of two of the industry's most popular recruiting methods: Job Boards and Staffing Agencies. More specifically, what do you think of this approach: Charge a client a nominal fee to post a job on a job board (just like monster or career builder). However, unlike a job board, do NOT pass all applicants through to a hiring manager. Filter the talent pool as an agency would; removing inexperienced or under-qualified applicants. In addition, allow employers to contact and hire talent directly. Cut out the middle-man. Save the employers' money and let the workers earn the wages they deserve - without my sticky fingers in the pie.

I am going for it - I've developed a pretty sophisticated system to make it all possible. For employers, it may look (and cost) like a traditional job board. But that is where the similarities end. Employers' receive only pre-screened and pre-qualified talent from the applicant pool. What's more, we check professional references, display visual samples with artist descriptions of involvement, and present candidates in a uniform, easily navigable way.

Sounds like a lot, I know. But I have had this up and running now since April 2011 and my clients are loving it. So far I have had the pleasure of demonstrating this product/service with such noteworthy employers like : Perry Ellis, The United Way, and several cruise lines.

And, most importantly it's working.
