challenges of the revolution…
getstaffed is about changing how we find work. Its changing the whole landscape of IT recruitment, by allowing businesses and contractors to get in touch directly. getstaffed facilitates this, by having all the CV, testimonial, searching etc, but ultimately, its up to the contractor and the business to reach agreement.
We don’t try and get in the way, we just try and help. But there are a lot of challenges, changing an industry. Particularly keeping both our contractors and our businesses engaged. We have a couple of businesses now who appear to make getstaffed their first stop, because they have had success recruiting through us. Others… well, aren’t so involved.
Andrew and I are starting a big push over the next month or so to increase the level of engagement from particularly our business customers. ie, explaining exactly what getstaffed is, how it works, and why its the best! We are also restarting our business expansion plans, recruiting more businesses to the site. Our goal is to have 5 or so active contracts* per week, so check back and let us know how we are doing!
*That would be “getstaffed Real contracts”, not the “register your interest, we have HEAPS of (non-existent) contracts for MAJOR companies (who havent actually agreed to anything)” jobs on seek. Repeated by 10 recruitment agents. Our jobs really exist.
