Internet may offer firms chance to "get creative" with recruitment

As recruitment budgets are tightening for many companies, the flat-fee services offered by some online agencies may provide a solution.

According to the Irish Sunday Business Post, firms, especially those who operate on a smaller scale, need to "get creative" with their recruitment.

This is because marketing and advertising budgets can often be the first to go when businesses have financial troubles, which many are experiencing because of the current economy.

Research from KPMG found that three out of ten employers questioned were planning to spend less money on hiring staff.

However, Tom McCarthy, chief executive of the Irish Management Institute, warned that scaling back on recruitment could be a bad move for companies in the long-term as they will lose out when economies begin to recover.

Earlier this week, the Times reported that the public sector still has many vacancies available for job seekers.
