New Site Helps Job Seekers Navigate the Recruitment Maze

Finding your way around the job market has never been easy.
A good recruitment firm can help, but choosing the right one could mean the difference between landing the perfect job and spending months fruitlessly searching. However, unlike just about every other industry, candid feedback on which recruitment firms perform the best is very thin on the ground. Stepping in to fill that need, HireScores.com is a new website, developed by experienced recruitment professionals, to help candidates avoid the underachievers and find the recruiters who are most likely to meet their needs.

The site, launched last month, invites candidates to rate their experiences of recruitment firms and provide feedback – both good and bad.These ratings are then displayed online, giving job seekers a picture of the best recruitment firms – and the ones to avoid. With over 20 years of experience in senior Human Resources and recruitment roles, site founder, Lisette Howlett believes that providing this information is a natural step, "It seems strange to think that you can rate hotels, CDs, books, and restaurants, but to date there’s been no open way for job seekers to rate the recruitment industry? HireScores.com does just that and gives job seekers access to useful information and the real life experiences of past candidates, in a simple and independent format."The site is entirely free to use and is currently inviting both current job seekers and past candidates to share their experiences of the recruitment industry.
Further information can be found at http://www.hirescores.com/They also have a forum – [ http://www.hirescoresforum.com/ ]http://www.hirescoresforum.com/. The forum, launched last week, allows candidates to share their views, questions and experiences and have questions addressed by experienced recruitment professionals – making landing the right job more likely. In return, recruitment firms and employers benefit from access to valuable feedback and real candidate experiences – helping them attract, and retain, the best talent available.
