About RecruitLoop

What is RecruitLoop

RecruitLoop is an online recruiting platform providing businesses with flexible recruitment support by connecting them with a distributed network of expert recruiters.

Our mission is to provide employers with stress-free recruiting. We will do that by giving professional recruiters opportunities to provide fantastic client service in a trusting and flexible environment.

The RecruitLoop story

We founded RecruitLoop after years of frustrating and expensive recruitment experience and a belief that traditional recruiting options were not working for small-medium businesses. In short, the recruiting model is ripe for reinvention.

What we hold to be true:

  • Recruiting is critical for every business, but hard work to get right. This is particularly true for small-medium businesses, where it usually involves top management, and the relative cost of getting it wrong can be much higher.
  • Current support options are broken. 62% of Australian Executives would not recommend the services of a recruitment firm to others (Executive Monitor Report, 2011). And smaller businesses have been priced out of the market for too long. It's time for that to change.
  • Every business has different recruitment needs. One size doesn't fit all. Why try to squeeze every business into the same support model?
