An invitation-only cooperative where boutique and mid-size talent acquisition companies can compete with industry giants without sacrificing their values or revenue.
Recruiters spend countless hours calling and emailing candidates who either don’t respond or aren’t interested, resulting in lost productivity.
Smaller agencies have access to fewer candidates compared to large competitors with massive databases, restricting recruitment options.
Many applicants apply but are unqualifed or become unreachable, creating dead ends that stall recruitment efforts.
Candidate information in ATS systems quickly becomes stale, causing recruiters to contact unreachable or invalid candidates.
Job boards and paid talent databases are ineffective, often with poor candidates, outdated information, and time-wasting leads.
Small agencies work harder but lack the scale and resources of big firms, making it difficult to compete effectively in the market.
Invitation-only cooperative for small to mid-sized agencies with fewer than 20 recruiters.
Agencies pool their candidate databases to create a unified talent network. The Recruiting Co-Op automates outreach and confirms interest before suggesting candidates.
Allows small to mid-sized agencies to compete with the big guys without sacrificing their values or margins.
Qualified agencies combine their archived candidates into a single, expansive talent pool to increase reach and opportunities. Matching candidates, whether internal or external, are automatically evaluated, warmed, and suggested.
The Recruiting Co-Op contacts candidates to verify interest and availability for roles before suggesting matches, ensuring agencies receive only qualified and warmed candidates.
Candidate resumes and contact details are automatically updated in your ATS when new information is gathered by The Recruiting Co-Op. This automatic syncing reduces stale or outdated data, keeping your talent pool fresh and reliable.
Candidates not already in The Recruiting Co-Op that are added in the past 90 days, placed in the last year, or marked private, are protected and not shared. Proprietary information, including recruiter notes, interview feedback, hiring data, and open jobs, is never shared.
Often impose a 50/50 placement fee split, reducing agency revenue.
