Whilst aCE talentNET works largely in the contracting/brokering space we are finding ourselves being pulled into the permanent recruitment business for a mix of reasons:

• access to a Talent Network in the OD, HR, L&D, Training space who are not active job-seekers and therefore difficult to reach with the standard advertising methodologies
• leveraging an existing successful client / alliance relationship
• shortage of talent in the market
• proven record of providing high calibre candidates and consultants (not a simple 'bums on seats" methodology)
• high levels of trust and client service standards
• sticking to the knitting, i.e. working only in our specialist area of expertise and not an "all things to all people" service proposition

A recent article in the Recruiter Daily, Average vs. Great Recruiters* identifies why there is a shift away from the standard recruitment offering. Recruitment companies that offer their clients a service proposition based firstly on relationship, value and quality will benefit from enduring client relationships. aCE talentNET believes it is high time the recruitment industry review their methodologies and return greater value to their clients.  Recruiters should be providing quality advice, market data & research, success based fee structures and regular updates to clients.  Clients, on the other hand, must be prepared to pay recruitment alliance partners for their expanded services and alter a prevailing mindset of aggressively seeking reductions in placement fee rates.  When the later is viewed in light of the growing talent shortage, savvy clients will quickly recognise they have nothing to lose!

aCE talentNET's cost effective placement rate structure ensures a quality shortlist of candidates; and where exclusive arrangements are agreed, clients can expect to receive an impressive service proposition which includes innovative advertising, screening, and interviewing services, culminating in a full Candidate Recruitment Report complete with recommendations. Anyone interested in knowing more can contact me.

And on a final note... good luck to all of you as you attempt to clear the desk and complete your pre-Christmas shopping lists for this years impending festivities!!!!

Warm Regards,
