Recruitment Advice

What is Flat Fee Recruitment?

Flat Fee Recruitment may also be called; Fixed Fee Recruitment or Flat Rate Recruitment.  The employer will pay a fixed rate for online recruitment advertising services.

There are many online recruitment suppliers who offer a range of services for a flat rate. However, Flat Fee Recruiter coined the term in 2012, with a specific type of recruitment service in mind.  You can now find many online Flat Fee Recruitment providers offering services based on our concept.

In a nutshell, Flat Fee Recruitment is all about getting the widest coverage or advertising reach for a job advert and puts the employer in control of their hiring process and decisions.

The Flat Fee Recruitment provider buys high volumes of space on a variety of job boards, then bundles these job boards together and provides these as a combined package to the employer.  The employer can then choose which candidates they want to progress with. The similarities between Flat Fee Recruitment providers stop here though…

What are the differences between Flat Fee Recruiters?

A true Flat Fee Recruitment supplier will not only advertise your jobs across the internet but will also offer you service too.  This service should go above and beyond what you will get from a job board and add additional value to your business. It should help you achieve 4 primary goals:

1. Ensure your adverts have the best chance of performing (reaching and engaging with all of the available talent in the market).
