A first for SMEs - Recruitment Outsourcing service launched

Hiring costs to reduce by up to 50%

A company from London is the preferred supplier for a recruitment management system, part of a fully managed service offered exclusively by Blue Glue to small to medium sized companies. Blue Glue picked SkillStream for its proven, web-based system that reduces the amount of time spent on tasks such as sourcing candidates, and sifting through applications by automating all stages in the recruitment cycle. SkillStream, who beat off stiff competition from other technology specialists, expects Blue Glueís total package will help clients ìreduce their actual costs of hiring staff by up to 50 per cent, as well as cut the time it takes to recruit,î according its founder, Steve Lucas.



Bill Ingram, Blue Glueís managing director, also believes companies who fail to keep pace with trends in recruiting people do so at their peril, and that until now, small to medium size businesses have been disadvantaged through price: ìThe combination of enabling job seekers to apply for roles direct rather than through a third party, and the inbuilt intelligence of a web-based system, which sources, screens, matches and tracks applications, means Blue Glueís clients gain access to a wide pool of talent, but at an affordable cost.

ìBlue Glue is the first to provide a total recruitment management service for SMEs. We keep it simple and affordable ñ clients pay a flat fee of 10 per cent for all recruitment management services, and a nominal hosting fee for the workflow system that drives applicants to roles and which helps manage the entire recruitment process,î concluded Bill.

ìOther benefits are the cost savings involved in hiring direct, and the reduction of time spent on administrative tasks, freeing up managers to concentrate on running their businesses,î said Steve Lucas of SkillStream.
