Choosing A Recruiter To Fill A Job Just Got Easier

PR Log (Press Release) – Dec 20, 2009 – Human resource departments and managers have long suffered frustrating experiences when using recruiters and head hunters to fill their business’s employment vacancies. It seems almost everyone has had an experience with a recruiter that has left a lasting negative impression according to John Millican, Managing Director of www.recruitercritic.com.

Finding the right recruiter to fill a job vacancy amongst 33,000 consultants employed by more than 2,500 agencies is not easy and requires time, effort, planning, a large network and often a trial and error approach, until now. A new free service to Australian businesses finds, assesses and recommends recruiters that are appropriate to fill a specific vacancy.

Millican, suffered the negative impacts of dealing with inexperienced, unprofessional and non-performing recruiters and head hunters in previous roles in Human Resources and General Management.  “A bad Recruiter can have a disastrous effect on a business’s costs of recruitment as well as your own sanity”, according to Millican. With the help of some industry experts built an assessment process to sort the wheat from the chaff.

RecruiterCritic asks for nominations of high performing recruiters amongst a network of hiring managers, human resource staff and other recruiters and places them through a thorough assessment process that includes an online registration, interview and reference checks. “There is no service, free or otherwise that offers to thoroughly interview the interviewer and identify who hiring managers should give a job vacancy to fill. We assess recruiters across a number of important areas and offer a recommendation and comparison document to our clients of two to consider to fill their vacancy”, Millican said.

RecruiterCritic’s business model is that it only receives revenue when a recruiter delivers for its clients as it takes a percentage of the recruitment fee that a client would normally pay. “Our mission is to take away the frustration of dealing with the wrong recruiter and decrease the costs associated with recruitment for our clients. We only get paid if our clients get a positive outcome.” offered Mr Millican.
