Finding good recruiters can be hard. We've made it easier.

You can post a job and try the marketplace for free, or upgrade to our Premium Service (£159 per job) if you’d like support to create an agency brief, manage recruiters, schedule interviews, and help with admin. Some clients like that we help them manage themselves!

If you don’t opt for Premium and you fill your job, there’s a £180 Platform Fee added to your Placement Fee invoice. (The Placement Fee is the fee you originally set when posting your job. This is transferred to the successful recruiter.) The Platform Fee is waived for Premium.

As with everything Hiring Hub, we’ve tried to keep the candidate’s rebate period really simple and transparent. It lasts for 60 days from the candidate’s start date. If a candidate doesn’t work out during this period, subject to our marketplace Terms of Business (you can read them here), you will be refunded as follows:

• 0-45 days – 100% of the Placement Fee.
• 46-60 days – 50% of the Placement Fee.

It’s a dynamic marketplace and fees can vary widely depending on sectors, location, market conditions, seniority of role, etc. If you’re unsure or simply want some impartial advice, call us on: 0161 300 7235. Our customer service team are experts, with deep knowledge of the marketplace, its recruiter community, and the wider recruitment industry so they’re able to share market intelligence with you in real time and offer benchmarks while advising on best practice.

We recommend no more than three. Recruiters have to weigh up not only the fee you’re willing to pay, but also how likely it is they’ll get that fee before requesting to work on a job. If you engage too many recruiters, the likelihood of them getting a fee gets smaller, reducing their appetite to throw the kitchen sink at your search. If, however, they’re confident they can submit great candidates, there’s a strong chance they’ll get the fee, and you engage with them throughout the process you’re much more likely to get a result.

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 three top performing sectors in terms of jobs posted during the last 12 months have been Digital & IT, Sales & Marketing, and Engineering & Manufacturing. We keep an up-to-date management dashboard of key marketplace information, which has lots of data on sectors, fill rates, recruitment agency coverage, etc. We can share with you when setting up your account.

We do, yes. We speak to every recruiter that wishes to become a member to find out more about them, and to give them some insight into how we work and what we expect from them.

Once an agency is approved, the platform monitors 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 gives you a good idea on who might be able to find you the best candidates.

No. When you upload a job to the marketplace we keep your details anonymous; agencies can only see limited information, like the job title, location, sector, salary, and the fee you’ve set. Only the recruiters you approve to work on your vacancy can view the full job brief, and your details. 

No, you can decide how many CVs each recruitment agency you engage with is able to submit. So you can approve, say, three recruitment agencies to work on your vacancy, but only let them submit two candidates each. So you’ll get a maximum shortlist of six candidates to review. 

Yes, you can add unlimited users to your company’s account. This can centralise your company’s recruitment activity, allowing hiring managers to login, view and review CVs, too.

If you need any help setting up, call our support team: 0161 300 7235 or use the website’s Live Chat 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.

Sadly not, no. However, we have another solution, Portal, which might be more suited to you. A recruitment agency management tool, it allows you to consolidate all recruitment agency activity on one platform for greater visibility of metrics, performance and spend, rapid onboarding of new suppliers, and simplified payments and invoicing.
