Launched from Manchester Metropolitan University’s incubator office, Innospace, which is home to over 120 entrepreneurs and their businesses, Hiring-Hub.com provides companies with a one-stop online shop for all their permanent recruitment needs.

It offers employers a free web-based Vendor Management Tool and Applicant Tracking System, in addition to its core services: 1) an online recruitment marketplace, which connects employers to a large network of specialist recruitment consultants that will fill roles for a fixed placement fee that the employer sets; and 2) flat fee multi-post job board advertising.

“Hiring-Hub.com’s founders pitched their idea to us Innospace and we were delighted to welcome them into the community,” explained Richard Deighton, Innospace Manager. “The business model is exciting and the company’s energy and vision is inspiring. These days, if you want to book a flight you go to expedia.co.uk, if you’re looking for a hotel you try laterooms.com and if you want car insurance you might visit moneysupermarket.com. Hiring-Hub.com aims to be the place employers go to first when they want to source new talent.”

The website is aimed at all employers seeking permanent staff, whether through third-party recruitment consultancies for skilled roles, or direct job board advertising for non-skilled roles. Employers simply register to gain access to their free web-based recruitment hub, from which they can upload their specialist roles onto the marketplace, or, for commercial roles, purchase flat fee multi-post job board advertising bundles from as little as £199.

Hiring-Hub.com’s online recruitment marketplace gives employers the opportunity to engage specialist recruiters quickly. Employers upload their jobs to the marketplace anonymously and engage the recruiters of their choice. These approved recruiters agree to fill the employer’s roles for a fixed fee that the employer sets. Uploading vacancies is completely risk free, as employers only pay – the fee they set – if their campaign is successful. The marketplace gives employers access to a much larger candidate pool, protects them from unsolicited agency approaches, streamlines their recruitment process and does away with the need to negotiate terms with multiple suppliers.

While the marketplace has been designed to act as a gateway between employers and recruitment consultancies, Hiring-Hub.com’s low cost job board advertising bundles are aimed at those seeking to fill unspecialised roles with salaries below £25k. Employers submit their job advert once via the hub, and it is posted on all the UK’s leading job boards. Employers using this service can purchase one advert bundle for £199 yet hire multiple candidates, making it an ideal solution for admin, retail and sales roles.

“The team at Innospace has been really supportive,” said Simon Swan, co-founder of Hiring-Hub.com. “It is an excellent project and it has given us a unique opportunity to connect with Manchester’s business community while keeping our overheads low during, which is great for a startup. Our vision is to build a one-stop online shop for recruitment across all sectors and all industries, which tailors for all budgets, and Innospace has given us a great launch-pad to do just that.”
