Another new recruitment concept is about to hit the Australian marketplace – 2vouch.com
The idea is that you recommend prospective (passive) “candidates” to 2vouch, they match them with employers and recruiters, and if the person get’s hired you get a spotter’s fee of $800 - $2000.
It’s an interesting concept, although not entirely original, because plenty of employers and recruiters already pay spotter’s fees.
It seems 2vouch aims to turn employees into part time recruiters potentially enabling employers and recruitment consultants to connect with candidates, particularly passive candidates who may not be actively looking for a new job.
If it works, this could be a boon for some recruitment firms, who I’m sure would be happy to pay $2k for a good candidate whom they can place for a $20k fee. Or alternatively, employers who can get a suitable candidate for $2k instead of paying a $20k recruitment fee. Although the actual fee charged by 2vouch would presumably higher that what the referrer receives.
It could also become quite lucrative for the individuals doing the referring - imagine if you referred a whole team!
I can also see some potential downside for employers. For example, where are you most likely to come into contact with “passive candidates” whom you can recommend ? – in your own workplace …
