What are the most cost-effective talent acquisition platforms for small and medium-sized businesses?

The most cost-effective models are crowd sourcing and referral's referral. This is not a flatform but an effective way of closing roles in low budget. Crowd sourcing is nothing but reach out to the passive talents who are not looking for a job but can refer someone if you offer an incentive, in returns you get qualified candidates and source would get cash, as compared to other sources its 3x cheaper, also when you get referral don’t forget to ask referrals from the referred candidates. In this case you don’t need to pay anything to anyone, it a win- win situation for all. As far as low-cost platforms are concern you can use matrimony sites, social media, LinkedIn etc.

Cheap is not good. Good is not cheap. The volume of leads generated would need to be filtered. Interviewer’s skill remains as very important to find the right candidate. I would think that for SMEs, referrals work quite well

For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), cost-effective talent acquisition platforms can be crucial. Here are some options: LinkedIn Indeed Glassdoor ZipRecruiter CareerBuilder Monster SmartRecruiters

If you want to be effective and competitive in the market, you must serve the requirements with quick turn around. In the process, it is important to have job boards to identify the candidates instantly.

No matter how well online job search platforms work, the experience of the interviewer and an accurate understanding of which employee the business needs at a given moment are very important, this is especially important for small and medium-sized businesses during a period of active growth. In this case, these platforms will be very effective.

For social media, there are also automated tools that can help you send personalized messages to select and target audiences. I can recommend some but be careful: social media environments frown on this tactic, although I can tell you it is used by hundreds of thousands of subscribers to some of the tools I use. You need to consider 2 very important items when thinking about using these tools: 1. They "MUST" have a feature that operates in human mode (not blasting to hundreds or thousands, which will lock you out). 2. Make sure they have a documented history of protecting their users, keeping on top of any add-ons within the social media environment you are using that might cause flags unless your provider is on top of things.

Ce qu'il est réellement nécessaire, au-delà du canal de recrutement, c'est la compétence de la direction, la compétence du manageur et celle du recruteur, pour attirer un talent et surtout le garder. Ça induit d'avoir une véritable politique d'intégration et de la vision en terme de développement de compétences. Le canal, la plateforme, ne sont que des outils. Ils ne sont ni bons ou mauvais en soi. Tout dépend de ce que l'on en fait. Un recrutement est rentable si tout le monde y trouve son compte. Le turn-over, les arrêts maladies, l'absentéisme, sont des indicateurs qui démontrent à eux seuls qu'un recrutement n'est pas réussi, avec tous les coûts complémentaires qu'il va générer.

I'll be adding more to the questions above but RPO- or recruitment process outsourcing- to a provider that "focuses" on small businesses like my company Employment Process Group, can provide a partial or total "bundled solution" covering ALL of the costs of all of the topics noted above! Because of the economies and efficiencies of scale these RPOs leverage by purchasing larger bundles of resources from the recruiting source providers noted above, they "should" be transferring those cost savings to you, allowing you to focus on your business and do what you do best! BEWARE of larger RPO environments that may cost more so make sure you ARE receiving a cost savings AND ask for references of current and past clients in your industry.
