At Recruiter.com, we share frequent company updates about our progress as a community of recruiting professionals and as a technology platform business changing the way companies hire. We'll also share updates about our general business, for various stakeholders such as investors and partners. With that said, here is an update for this week from Recruiter, updated today (3/12/20) with a statement about the Coronavirus.
COVID-19 or the Coronavirus is an issue of tremendous scale and human impact. Our hearts go out to everyone that has been affected by the virus and that are worrying about their loved ones. As a business, we want to first ensure the safety of our staff and partners, and then determine how we can best be of help. Our work environment lends itself very well to virtual environment and we already operate much of our business remotely, so our work should be entirely unaffected as we leverage our virtual environment for our staff.
In terms of how we can help: a few months ago, we launched our new healthcare recruiting practice. We took steps to build a specialized network of healthcare recruiters, and hired a senior staff member to lead this effort. To that end, we stand very much ready to assist with any additional healthcare talent requirements for clinical and non-clinical roles. We hope we can play a small part in any efforts to provide additional staff and assist with preparedness efforts.
To our entire community, let's exercise caution and ensure that health and safety comes first. I personally am very encouraged to see the slowing down of the previously exponential growth in certain countries, and hope that we are well on our way to containing the virus globally. With that said, here is the rest of our normal weekly update:
After launching our new flexible monthly recruiting solution, Recruiters on Demand, last week, we announced it with a blog and press release. We were excited to get discussions going with our first few accounts.
This week, we are announcing the availability of a $499 flat fee recruiting trial project through Recruiters on Demand, which gives our clients the quick support of a professional recruiter. After evaluation, clients can move to longer term engagements with the recruiter.
We are rolling out updates on the Recruiter.com platform to give recruiters the ability to note their interest and availability in Recruiters on Demand projects. Recruiters will also be able to signify their requested hourly rates for such consulting projects, either on-site or virtually for our clients. Our team is currently testing this functionality and we anticipate releasing this platform update next week.
We've been focusing over the past few weeks on developing our Healthcare recruiting network. This is a very specialized area that needed special attention, especially with a number of large hospitals coming on as clients.
Besides the many hundreds of recruiters with healthcare and medical recruiting and staffing experience, this week we are also excited to launch the first of many healthcare recruiting teams dedicated to a particular client. We started this client team of 25 recruiters for one large client. If you are a recruiter and are interested in joining this or other dedicated client teams, please sign up with a recruiter account.
