Problems With Direct Advertising

With today's hectic lifestyles candidates increasingly rely on agencies presenting vacancies to them as opposed to putting time aside to search for jobs themselves.
Having presented a vacancy to a candidate we then perform a vital role, selling your vacancy to the candidate, which sets your organisation apart from hundreds of one dimensional advertisements.
Due to the relatively short shelf life of advertisements (both online and in print) a high proportion can simply be overlooked.
Unlike advertising, which is payable in advance and where the response is unpredictable, a fee is only payable to us when we find you the right candidate.
It costs nothing to view our CV's. We currently have over 20,000 Purchasing & Supply Chain professionals on our database so why not benchmark your own advert response against our candidates?
