Jobs hidden in plain sight…

It is estimated that in many instances – up to 70% of a recruitment agency’s job applicant pool is “passive”- a group of people in employment but open to something better.

This against an average of 30% of the UK workforce “actively” looking for a job -roughly 13 million, of which up to 9 million contemplating changing only when a better offer becomes available.

In addition a further 20% of people – 7m, are currently considering changing jobs, but are not actively chasing or passively lurking.

Of over 30 000 recruitment agencies in the UK, the vast majority (around 80%) are classified as “micro-businesses”, presenting a unique set of operational challenges. Such are the difficulties, an astonishing 80% fail within their first two years of operation.

Considering that it takes between 30 to 200 job applications before landing an actual job and that many people feel job boards have become “black holes” where CV’s go to die, Vreeslik might offer a powerful all-encompassing solution to the millions of active “frustrated” CV senders, passive job seekers, job change “contemplators” and thousands of small resource-stressed recruitment agencies.

At any one point in a 24-hour cycle, Vreeslik streams over 1000 jobs advertised directly on company websites, much of which never hit larger job boards. Exposure of these are limited, and small recruitment agencies can fruitfully “track” and “push” actively online to the pool of “surplus” job applicants – Vreeslik being the real-time agency tool to link searchers to offers.
