For nearly a decade, recruiting exchanges have sprung up across the web, spawned by frustration in the human resources (www.Dayak.com), the evolution of recruiting exchanges seems to have reached its logical conclusion.
Dayak is an online recruiting (http://www.dayak.com/Recruiter_Demo.aspx) used for commission splits. Over time, innovative companies began to
offer employers the ability to share their open positions with these recruiter networks to fill positions more quickly.
Until recently, though, these services had two fundamental shortcomings. First, most recruiting exchanges charged a monthly membership fee, registration fee, or other access/usage fee for
recruiters and/or employers. Second, most exchanges acted as a referral service rather than a marketplace, which did little to drive down employers' cost per placement. However, the
newest generation of recruiting exchanges are a natural evolutionary leap toward a true free market system that saves employers money.
"What employers (http://www.dayak.com/Employer_Demo.aspx) from recruiters, or conduct interviews. Employers only pay for a successful hire," says Sabol. Because of the transaction based billing
structure, there is almost no risk for employers who use the site.
New recruiting exchanges like Dayak leverage a nationwide network of recruiters, so there is tremendous competition among recruiters to fill jobs quickly and provide better quality
candidates. And competition has one other major advantage - lower fees.
"We encourage our employers to set fees at about half of what they would normally pay with a traditional recruiting firm," explains Sal Cepeda, Dayak COO. "Our goal is to save corporate
America $4 billion annually, which is about half of what corporations spend on contingent recruiting firms each year."
Dayak is also the first site to publicly offer a 60 day, 100% refund guarantee to employers. The vast majority of recruiting firms offer a replacement guarantee, not a refund guarantee.
It is still unclear whether recruiting exchanges will be able to shift the recruiting landscape as powerfully as online marketplaces have transformed other industries. One thing is
certain: employers stand to benefit from the speed, simplicity, and cost savings offered by the newest generation of recruiting exchanges.
