PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Some current economic leading indicators suggest a long-awaited rebound in hiring: Unemployment below 9%, a narrowing US trade deficit, and America’s number-one investor Warren Buffett voicing optimism on US business prospects. As the war for top talent resumes, outstanding corporate recruiting teams will be poised with new and better web-based tools for attracting the best professionals.
"We see a resurgence of major US companies posting fee-eligible positions and agencies rushing to fulfill the best recruiting assignments,” says Lou Volpe, CEO of RecruitAlliance. “We expect 2011 to be a banner year."
RecruitAlliance, the RPO category leader in agency recruiting communication and workflow management, provides a free and secure invitation-only Internet platform enabling Fortune 500 and emerging growth companies to optimize their enterprise relationships with third-party recruiting firms. Qualifying Employers receive a robust set of external recruiter management and reporting tools, while top-performing agencies, most of which are referred directly by Employer members, get exclusive access to Employer-posted positions for a nominal monthly fee.
"Savvy talent acquisition and procurement leaders are choosing their recruiting partners very carefully,” says Volpe, “quickly eliminating those who underperform, regardless of how long they've been sitting on a 'preferred vendor' list."
An Enterprise Recruitment Vendor Manager for a leading US bank and a top-25 US employer explains: "We needed a third-party recruiting supply chain management solution. RecruitAlliance provided us a free and easily accessible enterprise portal to streamline our agency selection process, eliminate complicated agency negotiations and RFPs, meet our compliance requirements, and closely manage our third-party recruiting budget, engaging only the best agencies on a pay-for-performance basis."
The high-pressure system of the past—incessant agency cold calls and unsolicited resumes—is weakening, making way for truly collaborative performance-based relationships. And not only are corporate talent procurement leaders happy, so are the best recruiting firms, which are also improving their yield in this 21st Century business transformation. Welcome to the recruiting cloud. Hopefully top US employers will be very busy making rain in 2011.
Founded in 2001, RecruitAlliance is a consortium of leading US employers streamlining their collaborative communication and workflow with leading recruiting agencies via a secure and robust web-based platform.
