TALENThire.com is a national (with short-term plans of going international) B2B recruiting network that takes a different approach to recruiting services. Dubbing itself a vendor optimization firm, the company is an interesting offshoot of a splits board.
Hiring companies post their jobs along with the fee they’re willing to pay, and recruiting firms and corporate HR departments submit qualified candidates. The company providing the candidate who is hired gets paid the listed fee. Hiring companies choose all vendors approved on the TALENThire.com network or from their “sponsored” vendors. The idea is that HR clients enjoy a single point of billing feature, the ability to name their price for hires, an expanded talent pool, as well as the streamlined vendor management process. Agencies and corporate HR benefit by having a low-cost business-development tool for additional positions to work, as well as expanded client relationships
Members pay a monthly subscription fee based on the level of service desired (talent agent, talent seeker, or talent innovator).News & Updates

TALENThire
TALENThire is a marketplace for hiring firms and recruiters to match goals: the hiring firm states its need and the fee it is willing to pay to fill that position. The recruiters are able to use the marketplace as a business resource to place candidates. Once the hire is made, TALENThire.com handles all of the billing, collections and payment back to the supplying firm (which could include strategic HR/Recruitment departments driving revenue). -
Recruiting Vendor Optimization
Here's another acronym to learn: RVO. But learn it if your company uses multiple vendors to fill your direct hire positions. TALENTHire's RVO service promises to streamline the process by taking over the paperwork and handling the details.
