RecruitLoop

RecruitLoop provided employers a smarter way to hire through technology and services that slash the cost and time it takes to find new staff.

The model consisted of two primary components:

1: Recruitment marketplace: A global network of independent recruitment professionals charging employers an hourly rate instead of a percentage based on a candidate's salary.
RecruitLoop aggregated a network of independent, professional recruiters who help employers find new staff. This gave employers access to professional recruitment support, with a charging model providing 80% lower cost than a traditional recruitment agency.

2: Recorded video interview platform: A game-changing innovation in the recruitment process. 
RecruitLoop has developed a technology for recorded video interviews. This was not a ‘live’ video-capability like Skype, but an automated one that recorded candidate responses to customised written questions via their webcam. This innovation removed hours from the screening process for both employers and recruiters.

There was no way I could travel to India at that time, but still needed to move forward with my hiring plans. AK showed tremendous patience helping me to navigate the complex hiring process in India. He helped me with many things. Including: understanding the India market, creating the appropriate JD, identifying candidates and even educated me on the complex India pay structure. .
