recruitment 2.0, like Web 2.0, is an innovative, people and community focussed service
What is Recruitment 2.0?
PCR coined the term Recruitment 2.0 to describe the very different style of recruitment service we offer. Just like the difference betweenWeb 1.0 and Web 2.0, Recruitment 2.0 aims to deliver the service our clients and candidates want from us rather than just pushing information out.
We see Recruitment 1.0 as the typical CV shuffling service which many agencies provide, and which, like Web 1.0, means the only differentiator is to shop around for the keenest price available either on or offline. Recruitment 2.0, like Web 2.0, is an innovative, people and community focussed service, not a take it as you find it, single dimensional service.
So what does that mean to our clients and candidates?
| For Clients | For Candidates |
| By specialising in the digital media sector we have a wide and deep network of contacts, and our consultants are knowledgeable on project types, skills, rates, and availability of great candidates | Through specialising in the digital media sector, we're working with many of the leading Broadcast & Digital Media employers, so we're more knowledgeable about the market opportunities and better connected than our competitors |
| By building high quality "on-demand" talent pools reflecting our customers requirements, we cut through much of the admin associated with reading cvs and interviewing | By offering our Showcase proactive marketing service, we save our best candidates lots of the time and hassle associated with job hunting |
| With our purpose designed online technical tests for candidates we remove so much of the guess work our clients have in selecting IT people | By insisting on taking a quality job spec with hiring managers, we can give candidates so much more intelligence and insight into the role on offer, making it much easier for them to decide if it's right for them |
| We're developing extranets for clients, sharing information and allowing them to communicate with us when and how is convenient to them, building better closer partnerships, and delivering better results | Through the use of cutting edge technology embedded in our workflow, all of our candidates know where they are in their application process, which is more than most of our peers can claim |
| We're completely transparent about how we're performing with our clients, sharing our KPI and SLA reports, aiming continually to improve productivity and response times. | Every single one of our candidates benefits from a simple "how to win at interviews" coaching session prior to any interview. We also brief the client on what the candidate is looking for as it's not just a one way selection process. So we help both parties sell themselves better and as a result get more job offers. |
