At this point in this blog series – if it’s not obvious already – we’re looking to revolutionise the world of recruitment using technology to our advantage. We want the whole recruitment process to be digitalised, where interviews, meetings, and all communication is completed on one platform. We aim to make your recruitment virtually accessible, where we focus on an affordable recruitment method.
Our plan is to eradicate client exclusivity, where small businesses can also use recruitment services at a more affordable price. We also want to give the money back to the real earners – recruitment consultants – who take home 75% of the fees they’ve generated (rather than a recruitment agency taking a majority of the money).
We aim to improve relationships in the recruitment chain, where our business model is focused on building trust among our users. All our features focus on facilitating an efficient, and easy alternative for recruitment.
In this blog post, we’ll summarise how Rekkruut will create a win-win solution for everyone involved. Once we’ve done this, we’ll discuss our future plans for creating “The Resource Hub” – a free-to-use helpful guide on personal development, with a rich database of resources that can help you in many ways.
But first, let’s summarise our key points in this blog series…

What is Rekkruut’s “The Resource Hub”?
The Resource Hub will be a free-to-use database of plentiful resources, accessible through our website. We hope to help people progress in their careers, by offering an abundance of materials, articles, and resources across the following six categories:
- Diversity, Equality & inclusion
- Training & Development
- Personal Development
- Entrepreneurship
- Culture in the Workplace
- Job Advertisements, CV Building & Interviewing
These categories are the core fundamentals of how someone can develop their career. We believe that helping people in these areas can highly contribute to their employment success.
We’ll also have a job search section in The Resource Hub, which are specific to job roles in construction. The aim of this is to help people undergo a thorough job search, so they can understand the criteria of a specific job role, the journey of reaching this goal, and the perks of becoming trained in this role. But, expect to hear more about this shortly…
Keep your eyes peeled to see when we release The Resource Hub onto our website – and we’ll be regularly updating you on our LinkedIn or Facebook pages.
