The Resource Broker Helps Recruiters Find Contractors with Specialist and Scarce Skills

Recruitment agencies invited to sign-up at no cost today

[ClickPress, Mon May 23 2005] The Resource Broker, the UK’s first online business marketplace for the exchange of skills and services, can help recruitment agencies and consultants overcome the UK skills shortage and find contractors with specialist and scarce skills more effectively and efficiently. Membership is free – recruiters simply outline their requirements at www.TheResourceBroker.com and relevant contractors are alerted and invited to bid to undertake the work.

The Resource Broker offers recruiters’ significant time and cost savings as contractors with specialist and scarce skills are increasingly in short supply and competition for them is fierce. Conventional ways to find contractors, such as advertising, exhibitions, affiliations with other recruiters and word of mouth recommendations are time consuming, can be expensive, and often produce unsatisfactory results.

Managing Director Steve Christian comments, “It is vitally important for recruitment agencies and consultants to be able to quickly and easily source quality contractors to maintain a competitive edge. The UK skills shortage has made it even harder to supply clients with scarce and specialist skills. The Resource Broker can help recruiters overcome this by providing access to thousands of contractors in the right place, at the right time and for the right price.”
