HireAbility.com Launches New Era in Recruiter Social Networking

HireAbility's new business model will change the way staffing professionals think about online networking.

Londonderry, NH – HireAbility.com ®  (www.hireability.com), the leader in recruiter networking technologies, today announced two significant changes affecting its recruiter network.  Effective immediately, HireAbility is expanding the features and availability of its Talent Trader networking platform by adding several web 2.0 technologies and opening membership access to the recruiting industry with a new basic membership option offered at no charge.

The company also announced a revolutionary change in its pricing model.  According to Andrew Stock, Director of Sales and Marketing "We are leading the industry by becoming the first full-service recruiting network to eliminate transactional fees charged to staffing agencies and independent recruiters who collaborate through the network to generate placements."

“We are essentially changing the way recruiters and staffing professionals network,” said Craig Silverman, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at HireAbility.com. “Our member surveys indicated a true need for a recruiter network that allows members to share candidate and job order information in a fully-secure manner without charging a fee for members who use the data to generate split placements.  We are excited to be the first to offer recruiters and the staffing industry exactly what they've been requesting.” By eliminating the brokerage fees charged to its clients from split placement transactions, HireAbility.com expects to see explosive growth in its recruiter network.

For staffing professionals looking to collaborate and share information beyond generating 'split' placements, HireAbility’s updated Talent Trader platform  allows users to contribute their own content and develop a larger recruiting community based around user-defined discussion groups, searchable personal profiles, group bulletins, and more.  With today's release, Talent Trader also includes a free basic membership, which is open to the public.  Users will be able to utilize these powerful tools in order to foster a larger, more vibrant network.

“Over the last few years, the market has seen a surge in social and professional networking sites,” said Amy Renz, Executive Vice President of Technology & Operations at HireAbility.com. "Recruiters were among the first to realize the true power of collaboration and sharing of information, which is at the heart of the web 2.0 revolution.”

Trends show that recruiting professionals use social and professional networking tools to locate candidates, access better training and collaborate with their peers to generate more placements.  “There has never been a recruiting network that provides an open platform for  users to share and search data in a secure environment while delivering powerful staffing-specific tools. This is truly a new era in recruiter networking,” Renz said.
