Splitdeal.com is a web-based company headed by Peter Morrison; a recruiter with over 10-yearsí experience in the industry. Morrison has created the company based not only on his own extensive research into the trends currently displayed by the US recruitment market, but also in response to the rapid deterioration of conditions within the UK recruitment market.
Splitdeal.com works by allowing recruiters from all major sectors (IT, Sales, Pharmaceutical etc.) to share candidates and jobs with each other when traditional recruitment techniques have failed. Splitdeal.com therefore adds an additional layer of redundancy to the recruitment process.
By sharing precious resources ñ candidates and ëhard-to-fillí jobs ñ with recruiters who may have the right job for a candidate, or vice versa, recruiters can generate revenue when the alternative is to consign the candidate to the depths of a database, or to let the client down.
The concept behind Splitdeal.com is not new, far from it in fact. Analysts estimate that one in six permanent placements made in the US last year was the result of collaboration between two recruiters. With the UK recruitment market historically always one step behind that of the US, there are already clear indicators that the split deal will soon become an integral element in the UK recruiterís toolbox too.
Morrison suggests that the biggest stumbling block for British recruiters is psychological, not philosophical ñ using Splitdeal.com and collaborating with others will be taken by some as a sign of failure, even though it will actually make good sense to them. He is confident, however, that Splitdeal.com will quickly prove its worth in a market where erudite recruiters will quickly enjoy significant returns.
There is little doubt that survival in todayís market demands not only open-mindedness, but also the ability implement the sort of innovative and flexible solution that Splitdeal.com offers.
