Hiring Hub FAQs
Whether you're looking to fill a role quickly or enhance the management of your existing recruitment agency suppliers (or both), Hiring Hub can help. It's quick and easy to start posting and managing your roles and agencies online.
Nothing, it is free for employers. Hiring Hub is a business development tool for recruiters, so those recruitment agencies pay a monthly subscription to access our marketplace, which allows us to keep the platform free for employers to use. You do, however, have to pay the recruitment agency that fills your job the fee you set when you uploaded the vacancy (don’t worry, if you don’t hire a candidate you don’t have to pay anything). We’ll invoice you for the fee you set on the candidate’s start date. Our payment terms are 30-days. Your fee is held by Hiring Hub during the candidate’s rebate period before it is passed on to the recruitment agency that filled your vacancy.
The terms of business can be foundhere. They cover all parties: you, the recruitment agency and Hiring Hub, and have been designed to be universal and transparent.
Our no quibble rebate policy covers you for 60 days should a candidate not work out: you get 100% of your fee back during the first 45 days; and 50% of your fee between 46-60 days.
If you’re unsure about anything in the terms of business, or have a specific question, just give us a call, tel: 0161 300 7235 oremail us.
We recommend you set a fee that will incentivise recruitment agencies to: 1) invest time in conducting a thorough candidate search on your behalf; and 2) submit their best candidates to you (not someone else that’s paying them a little bit more).
A good barometer is 15% of the candidate’s salary, however, in some sectors it could be more, or less. For instance, in Digital & IT right now, given the environment, we’re seeing companies pay 20%+ fees to get the edge on their competition. Engineering is similar. So too Finance & Accountancy. Yet in Pharmacy, we’re seeing fees at 12.5%.
We accept that answer is ambiguous so, if you’re unsure, call us or speak to your dedicated Relationship Manager, who will have a really good read on what companies are paying for similar roles within your industry.
It’s up to you, but we recommend at least two but no more than five to ensure their commitment. Speak to your account manager if you’re unsure. They’re also a great outlet to discuss which agencies to approve, but of course you can use the agency’s profile, performance stats, and reviews from other employers to give you a steer on which agencies to work with.
The marketplace was built to connect employers to specialist recruitment consultants, so typically jobs are white collar and technical in nature, where specific experience is required. We have recruitment consultants covering all areas of the UK and Europe, across the majority of sectors, including: IT & Digital, Finance & Accounting, Engineering & Manufacturing, Construction & Rail, HR & Legal, Sales & Marketing, Executive, Retail, Property and Pharma.
Our four top performing sectors in terms of jobs posted during the last 12 months have been Digital & IT, Sales & Marketing, Finance & Accountancy, and Engineering & Manufacturing. We keep an up-to-date management dashboard of key marketplace information, which has lots of information on sectors, fill rates, recruitment agency coverage, etc. So we can share with you real time market intelligence when setting up your account and qualifying your jobs – just ask.
We speak to every recruiter that wishes to join our community to find out more about them, and to give them some insight into how we work and what we expect from them. Provided we believe they are entering into the relationship with the right mindset, their company information is aligned with that on Companies House, and a credit check raises no red flags, they are eligible to join the platform.
Once an agency is approved, we monitor their activity and performance (how many jobs do they work on, how many CVs do they submit per job, how many of those candidates get to first interview, second interview, offer stage, etc.) This, married to any verified marketplace reviews they collect from employers and/or candidates, influences their profile score and give you a good idea on who might be able to find you the best candidates.
Once they become an active member of our agency community, thanks to data and customer reviews, the marketplace self-polices itself. We do, however, always have the ability to suspend a recruitment agency’s account should they breach our terms of business. This is at our discretion and used only as a last resort. Our goal is to help you fill your job fast, and champion the best independent recruitment agencies in the UK.
No. Only the recruitment agencies you approve to work on your vacancy can view the full job description, brief, and your details.
When you upload a job to the marketplace, agencies can only see limited information (job title, location, sector, salary, fee) and your details are anonymous.
Agencies can review this basic information and those that want to work on your role will contact you. If you reject their request to work on the role, they won’t find out who you are. If you accept their request they’ll get access to the full brief, and will be able to contact you via the Hub.
No, Hiring Hub is much more sophisticated than that: you can decide how many CVs each recruitment agency you engage with is able to submit. So you can approve, say, five recruitment agencies to work on your vacancy, but only let them submit two candidates each. So you’ll get a maximum shortlist of 10 candidates.
Yes, you can add unlimited users to your company’s account. This can centralise your company’s recruitment activity, allowing hiring managers to view and review CVs, too.
If you need any help setting it up, call our support team: 0161 300 7235 or use the website’s Live Chat support function (at the bottom right-hand corner of your dashboard), which will connect you straight to us so we can help.
There is a digital footprint of each candidate submission, which are time stamped. Our Terms state that, provided the recruitment consultant correctly sought the Right to Represent the candidate, the consultant that submitted the candidate first “owns” the candidate, and the second submission will be marked as a duplicate.
Yes. You can subscribe to Portal and use it as a recruitment agency management tool, allowing you to consolidate all third-party recruitment agency activity on one platform for greater visibility of metrics, performance and spend, rapid onboarding of new suppliers, and simplify payments and invoicing. Speak to us to learn more.
Yes, there is a minimum fee of £2,000. This is to ensure fees are realistic, and drive engagement from our recruitment agency community. Beyond this level recruitment agencies will not invest their time or full resources into conducting a comprehensive candidate search.
Agencies incur costs beyond their time and fixed office overheads, too. Such as paying to access CV databases, LinkedIn Talent access, etc. If it takes them days to conduct a full search, a fee lower than 10% simply won’t motivate them – some won’t be able to work on jobs at that fee level.
If you’re still unsure where to set your fee, call us on: 0161 300 7235.
To save you time, and so you only have to say it once, your Relationship Manager will take a thorough briefing from you so they can tell recruitment agencies on your behalf EXACTLY who you’re looking for.
Please set aside some time to complete the call. It’s a really important part of the process and investing time here will save you a lot of time in the future while dramatically increasing your chances of filling your role (while preventing agencies asking you the same questions over and over again).
Usually not very long at all, although this does depend largely on the vacancy. Once you’ve uploaded your job a notification email will be sent to relevant recruitment agencies that specialise in your sector, this breeds competition between agencies, who are keen to submit their best candidates first. Therefore, you should see results quickly, usually within hours.
However, it will also depend on the job’s location, the salary you are offering, and the placement fee you are willing to pay a recruitment agency. We recommend you set a realistic fee to motivate a recruitment agency to source and submit their best candidates quickly. If you’re unsure, just ask, your Hiring Hub account manager, who has a really good overview of the UK’s recruitment market, so they can advise on fee level, salaries, etc. Call: 0161 300 7235.
