A new recruitment website that pays members for matching people with jobs has been launched.
As of today the new site Know-who will allow job-hunters, employers and networkers the opportunity to monetise their social and business contacts. These contacts can then be used help them find jobs and staff at the same time.
Daniel Halstead, co-founder of know-who.com, said:
The site is easily accessible to anyone and totally free to post jobs. Our fees are roughly 25 percent of a traditional recruiter’s fee and are only charged on successful hire. Better still, the sector--specific communities of people that naturally form within know-who.com give employers access to candidates who are not necessarily interested in applying directly, or working with recruitment agents.
According to a recent survey commissioned by Know-who, two thirds of Britons (60%) prefer direct application to dealing directly with recruitment consultants.
The survey, which saw only a fifth of Britons identify recruitment consultants as their preferred job-hunting source, highlights the need for new channels and platforms for recruitment and job hunting.
