The Future Solution - Flat Rate Recruitment

The present business model of IT recruitment is the percentage commission model. This model is wheezing and creaking and its flaws are now obvious. The percentage commission model is a relic of the pre-Internet era which has not changed to reflect modern realities such as the emergence of a highly centralised Internet based talent pool available to all recruiters at low cost.

The future of IT recruitment is fair, open and transparent for employers and candidates.
