In-House v Agency and how Agencies can win back market share

 The argument about the demise of agency recruitment seems to make the false assumption that the agency recruitment model cannot adapt. In-House recruitment is a copy of the Agency model and it is true that market share has been lost. However there are things that Agencies can do that In-House teams cannot copy and this is where we can help.

The traditional recruitment process model, whether your using In-House or Agency recruiters, is always delivered by a relatively small number of consultants. So it takes time to source candidates, make calls, screen, interview and process.

There is a faster alternative, which only Agencies can offer.

On a daily basis every agency consultant is managing say 25 unique active/passive candidates. All these candidates who can be assessed and delivered for interview with 25 phone calls. A network of 1000 consultants would therefore have 25,000 candidates all deliverable with only 25 phone calls. In-House consultants may be able to find 25,000 candidates but it would take a lot more effort to drill down and build a relationship with all the relevant ones. This is an amazing competitive advantage for agencies!

Vacancy-Clearing is a Job Board.…..but not in the conventional sense.

It’s an Employer 2 Recruiter Job Board, which allows Employers to post Jobs and find matching candidates from Agencies using a crowd-sourcing approach. It’s not your core business but it is something you can help build and access for free whenever you want to. In-House cannot copy this because you cannot crowd-source on the In-House side.

You may be concerned about the realistic chances of you benefiting directly? Well image in the example above there are 1000 agency members. If we can attract 1000 jobs per month then statistically each member would make an extra placement and meet a new client each month. That’s something to consider!

Getting the message across is the problem and we need your help with 3 things:

1. Recruiters need to drive the message in the market by sharing it:

2. Recruiters need to sign up to build critical mass - it's free anyway.
