5 Things to Consider When
Joining A Network of Independent Recruiting Agents |
| |
| The advent of internet
recruiting has had a positive impact on the recruiting and staffing
industry. There are, however, some online companies who have left
recruiters disappointed with their services. If joining an
independent recruiting network is something you are considering, you
should consider the items below to help you make an informed decision
about moving forward. |
| |
| 1. There is no need to pay
thousands of dollars to join a network of independent recruiters where a
large start-up or franchise fee is required. Today, you can conduct business
with other independent recruiters or staffing agencies by finding them
via the internet where no start-up fees are necessary. Either find
them through search engines and contact them directly or join a
reputable exchange and let the technology do the work for you, but do
not overpay just to get started. Stat-up fees are very difficult
to get back. |
| |
| 2. Make sure you retain all the
rights to your information during and after your term with the network.
If you decide to leave the network at any time, you do not want to
hassle over who owns the data that you shared with members of the
network. Develop an exit strategy for your information before
joining the network. |
| |
| 3. Thoroughly explore the technology
used by the independent network before signing up and making any
long-term agreements. There are companies who claim to have
technology that provides cutting-edge functionality when in fact the
technology is stale. Ask for a free demonstration of their network
tools before joining. |
| |
| |
| |
|
| |
| 4. Investigate
the quality of the web sites in the network of independent recruiters.
If the web sites don't appear to be that of legitimate recruiting
companies, or do not
provide their contact information, you should probably stay away from the
network. Quality recruiting networks provide support and make it
easy to get in touch with them. |
| |
| 5. Learn as much as you
can about an the network's plan for growth as it will
directly impact your opportunities for success. The company must
have the financial capital and marketing savvy to attract other good
recruiters with whom you will work. Otherwise, the company may go
out of business and leave you standing in the cold. |
