Following its launch last month, GCGís online offering to management and technology consulting firms and corporations seeking high quality domain expertise through vetted independent consultants, is shaking up the recruitment marketplace.
Interest levels from independents seeking to market their services through professionalassociates.com has created a backlog of outstanding individuals to be screened, although several additional screening sessions have been planned to cope with the groundswell of interest. This activity will see the total number of listed independent consultants reach 300 by the end of August and 500 at September end.
I expect that professionalassociates.com will be the only service I need to use to secure the best assignments. Their approach is personal and unique and indeed I canít imagine having to use the old model of trawling jobsites or worse, relying on patchy results with so called írecruitment agenciesí who simply see me as a margin rather than a highly experienced consultant, commented Gillian Morley
Such has been the interest from organisations in taking advantage of the free trial option (which allows individuals in the company to navigate through, and view the complete universe of available independent consultants before purchasing a licence) that GCG has decided to extend this opportunity until the end of the year, allowing the unique system to be further refined through feedback from participating organisations who have also welcomed the approach as an ideal way to roll out the new model for recruiting independents across their organisations before bidding for high quality individuals and securing their services. In addition to strong interest from most of the major professional services firms professionalassociates.com has also received interest from one of the UKís largest supermarket chains
Valentine Feerick, CEO of GCG added, Initial reaction to professionalassociates.com has been very pleasing and has shown us that there is a real need for this service across many industries. We are now also taking the proposition into the solicitor and accountancy markets following requests made from influential individuals within those professions
professionalassociates.com leads the way in transforming the recruitment industry
