Many small recruiting firms and independent recruiters find themselves working with a loosely built network of other professionals to facilitate split placement activity. This is nothing new in the staffing industry, and case studies abound regarding their success. Over time, there has been substantial growth in more tightly associated networks of recruiters, with larger reach and more formalized benefits. These more substantial recruiting networks offer advantages over loosely organized networks.

So what do these larger networks offer independent recruiters that they can’t get on their own? Certainly there is the obvious connection to other recruiters that work your chosen specialty to ’split’ placements. But what many professionals overlook is that belonging to these networks also extends their reach to fully servicing their clients in divisions outside of their normal niche. Even solo practitioners can take on more diverse job orders, in higher volume, because they are backed by the recruiting horsepower of the network.

Smaller firms and independent recruiters gain the advantage of the bulk buying power of larger networks. HireAbility’s own Recruiter Network offers independent recruiters the advantage of purchasing common recruiting tools at substantial discounts (such as Hotjobs, Zoominfo, and more) and other fee-based tools and services). The obvious benefit here is that a formalized recruiting network can put such services within the financial reach of the average solo practitioner.

Furthermore, staffing professionals now have a single destination to provide employer-of-record services for contract placements, applicant tracking software, job posting discounts and access to other tools that, in aggregate, are substantially lower in price than they would be individually.

Currently, HireAbility is offering the first month at no charge for individuals looking to expand their recruiting power through a network membership.
