Why Traditional Recruitment Doesn’t Work for You

Most recruiters place only 10 to 20 candidates per year.

That may sound fine — until you realise how many people they actually speak to.

30 candidates per day × 5 days

150 people per week

600 people per month

7,200+ candidates per year

Yet only 0.14% to 0.28% actually get placed.

Traditional recruiters don’t work for you — they work for the company. That means your success isn’t their priority unless it aligns with a client’s open job.

A Job Broker flips the model: 
we work for you.

  What Is a Job Broker?  

A job broker is a professional or organization that acts as an intermediary, connecting job seekers with suitable vacancies and employers with qualified candidates. They facilitate the hiring process by understanding the needs of both job hunters and companies, offering services like personalized advice, CV assistance, and job matching. Job brokers also engage in business development to create new job opportunities and can specialize in areas like specific industries or supporting particular groups, such as young people or individuals with learning disabilities.

Tired of sending applications into a black hole? A Job Broker flips the script: instead of working for an employer, we work for you. We craft your positioning, identify high-fit opportunities, submit tailored applications, and reach out directly to hiring managers — so you're seen earlier by decision-makers.

Why do we need a Job Broker?

Endless waiting: Candidates apply and sit at the back of a queue.
Radio silence: Most applications never receive a reply.
Time drain: Hours spent tailoring CVs and cover letters with little return.
Missed opportunities: Many jobs aren’t even advertised (hidden job market).
Lack of visibility: Applications rarely get in front of decision-makers.
Unequal playing field: Automated systems (ATS) filter people out before humans even see them.
