The Principles Behind
the Recruitment Manifesto
The old models of fee-per-head recruitment incentivize the recruiter over candidates’ careers, do not align to growth, pit buyer against supplier, and continue to be unsustainably expensive.
It’s time to adopt Recruitment as a Service – RaaS – as the recruitment business model designed for the AI revolution.
RaaS: A New Paradigm for Recruitment
Just as the Agile Manifesto revolutionized software development and paved the way for Software as a Service (SaaS), RaaS is poised to transform the recruitment industry.
By leveraging AI-driven technologies, RaaS offers a more effective, transparent, flexible, and affordable approach to acquiring talent.
Unlike traditional fee-per-head models, RaaS provides tiered monthly pricing, ensuring cost-efficiency and predictable budgeting that scales.
As companies increasingly recognize the benefits of RaaS, we anticipate a shift away from outdated recruitment practices and a pivot toward this innovative, data-driven model.
Practitioners of
Recruitment as a Service (RaaS)
Follow These Principles:
- 1. Our highest priority with RaaS is to satisfy the customer through recruitment services that are effective, transparent, flexible, innovative, and affordable.
- 2. A candidate’s next (best) career move should never be influenced by a recruiter’s fee or commission. RaaS eliminates the temptation to make shortcuts with a person’s career for the sake of gain.
- 3. Great recruiters, who are fundamentally sound, can recruit and build meaningful and lasting candidate and client relationships regardless of skillset or industry specialization.
- 4. Recruitment thrives when it is aligned with company or organizational growth plans.
- 5. Recruiters and hiring managers must work collaboratively to make great hires.
- 6. We build recruitment teams around motivated individuals and give them the environment, tools, support, and trust they need to get the job done.
- 7. We meet and communicate with candidates using methods they prefer - text/sms, AI, voice, online meetings (with video), online chat, social media, in-person networking, etc.
- 8. Successful hires are the primary measurement of recruitment success.
- 9. Ongoing talent pipelining or talent nurturing is fundamental for teams, organizations, and companies to be talent-ready to meet customer demands and support growth.
- 10. Continuous attention to recruitment technology enhances recruitment process effectiveness and candidate experience.
- 11. Simplicity in the recruitment process is the art of acquiring enough evidence (data) to make the best (an informed) hiring decision.
- 12. At regular intervals, the RaaS team meets to discuss and share best practices on how to become more effective and continually add undeniable value to its clients and candidates.
We believe
recruitment
consists of
two main activities:
Effective and sustainable recruitment design should support these two activities.
A Vision
for a Better Future
We envision a world where Raas is the best way to deliver recruiting services and the best way to engage 3rd-party recruiting services.
We welcome a diverse marketplace where business models, pricing, processes, and systems will differ from provider to provider and provide for healthy competition.
A world where RaaS provides recruiters and recruiting teams with the best technology, process, and mindset to deliver superior candidate experience and deliver 10x value.
A marketplace where industry and service partners work together to make it easier for talented people to access great career opportunities in a recruitment service model where everyone wins.
