What is Live Recruiter?
A Live Recruiter is an independent recruiter or agency that uses LiveRec to find candidates, manage client companies and place people with them. Live Recruiters pay LiveRec for a plan and do not earn through LiveRec. They sit apart from employers and job seekers, with their own portal and plan.
What a Live Recruiter does on LiveRec
A Live Recruiter works for clients, not for LiveRec. In the recruiter portal they can:
- add client companies they recruit for;
- post jobs on a client's behalf;
- review applicants and move them through stages;
- invite team members from their agency, so a desk can share the work.
The help article what is a Live Recruiter and how to join covers the start, and adding client companies and posting a job cover the daily work.
How it differs from other roles
| Role | Who they work for | How they use LiveRec |
|---|---|---|
| Job seeker | Themselves | Search and apply to jobs |
| Employer | One company | Post jobs and hire for that company |
| Live Recruiter | Several client companies | Manage clients, jobs and candidates in one portal |
What it means for job seekers
Some jobs are posted by a recruiter on behalf of a company. Seeker help explains how recruiter-posted jobs appear. Any fee between a recruiter and a client is agreed outside LiveRec. A candidate should never be asked to pay to be considered for a job.
Example
A staffing desk manages three client companies in the portal, posts a role for each, and moves shortlisted candidates to interview from one list.
