Cheezhead Recruiting News and Opinion

Dayak, an online recruiting marketplace, recently launched its updated website that includes a new staffing portal intended to help staffing firms fill their client jobs faster.

Dayak said they created the portal because since the recession, more and more companies have avoided hiring permanent employees and instead are choosing to go temp or contract. The marketplace represents a way for recruiters to take advantage of this shift in hiring trends.

“Dayak has come up with an incredible opportunity for these recruiters to act as a contingent workforce for staffing firms,” says Allan Sabol, CEO, Dayak. “Dayak’s new staffing marketplace is an ideal way for contingency recruiting firms and independents to survive this challenging economy by filling positions for large staffing firms. This is a huge business model addition for us, and a very big deal for staffing firm customers with temp/contract positions that are going unfilled. It also really separates us from the competition in our product offering in this challenging economy.”

Dayak’s new staffing model gives staffing firms the ability to post their client job openings to the marketplace at the same time as they begin internally sourcing for those positions, a technique known as parallel sourcing.

Sabol said, “When staffing firms get job orders from their clients, they can conduct an internal search for candidates while simultaneously bolster their candidate pool with highly qualified candidates that they receive through Dayak. The result is that staffing firms can fill a larger percentage of their client job orders and correspondingly increase revenue opportunities.”

Sabol noted that Dayak currently houses around 7,000 recruiters and companies.
