Online Recruitment FAQs
Common questions about Career Poster’s online recruitment service, how the success fee works and what employers can expect after submitting a vacancy.
What is online recruitment?
Online recruitment is a recruitment service that uses digital job advertising, CV search, candidate screening and online recruitment tools to help employers attract and place suitable candidates.
How does Career Poster’s online recruitment service work?
You submit your vacancy brief, we review the role and confirm whether the service is suitable. If agreed, we help source, screen and shortlist candidates, then support the process through to successful placement.
Is there an upfront payment?
No. There is no upfront payment to submit your vacancy for online recruitment. Payment is only due if a candidate is successfully placed through the agreed service.
What is the success fee?
Career Poster’s online recruitment service is charged at 12% of the successful candidate’s agreed annual salary. This is payable when a candidate is successfully placed, subject to the agreed terms.
Is online recruitment cheaper than using a traditional recruitment agency?
In many cases, yes. Traditional recruitment agency fees can often be higher than 12% of salary. Career Poster’s online recruitment service is designed to give employers a lower-cost success-based recruitment option.
Do you guarantee a placement?
The service is success-based, meaning you only pay when a candidate is placed. We review each vacancy first to confirm whether we believe online recruitment is a suitable route before starting the campaign.
What happens after I submit a vacancy?
We review the vacancy details, including the role, salary, location, requirements and candidate profile. We’ll then contact you to discuss suitability and next steps before starting any campaign.
Which sectors do you recruit for?
Career Poster can support online recruitment across a wide range of sectors. We are particularly strong in areas such as construction, IT, engineering, driving, logistics, finance, hospitality, sales, admin and manufacturing.
Do you advertise the job on job boards?
Yes, where suitable, job board advertising can be used as part of the online recruitment campaign. We may also use CV search and other sourcing methods depending on the role and candidate market.
Do you use CV search?
Yes, where suitable, we can use CV search access across selected recruitment platforms to help identify additional candidates beyond inbound job applications.
Do you shortlist candidates?
Yes. We can review applications and candidate profiles against your requirements, then highlight suitable candidates for you to consider. The final hiring decision always remains with you as the employer.
Do you arrange interviews?
Interview coordination support can be included. We can help with candidate communication and arranging interviews, while you decide who you want to meet and who you want to hire.
What happens if we do not hire anyone?
If no candidate is successfully placed through the agreed online recruitment service, no success fee is payable. We’ll review suitability before starting so expectations are clear from the beginning.
Is online recruitment right for every vacancy?
Not always. Online recruitment works best where job advertising, CV search and candidate screening can realistically create a suitable shortlist. It may not be right for every confidential, highly niche or executive-level search.
How is online recruitment different from fixed fee recruitment?
Fixed fee recruitment is paid upfront for one clear campaign cost. Online recruitment has no upfront payment and is charged as a success fee when a candidate is placed. Fixed fee recruitment is best for employers who want a predictable upfront cost, while online recruitment is better for employers who prefer to pay on placement.
How do I get started?
Submit your vacancy brief using the online form. We’ll review your role and contact you to confirm whether online recruitment is suitable before moving forward.
