Comment on Bounty Jobs

Frankly, I am disgusted with Bountyjobs and it's "claims" of helping the industry. I have 3 very large corporate clients who have signed with them over the past three years and have seen my relationships with these clients tank. Good service is built on relationships. Period! There is NO RELATIONSHIP using a web portal like bountyjobs. Half the time when you submit a candidate, you don't even get a response. It's pathetic.

* There is no direct communication with clients. How is that helpful??
* My receivables went from net 30 of invoice date to 90 days from start date. How does that help my business??
* My fees were cut by 5-15% in most cases. How does that help my business??
* Some bountyjobs clients want a 180 day guarantee, and bountyjobs approves it. Really? Money back after 6 month? Where is the responsibility of the candidate and employer to make it work out. The recruiter has nothing to do with someone leaving a job after any time as far as I am concerned. But we are punished for it. The client interviewed and hired them. Shouldn't they be responsible?? That like saying, "hey, you introduced me to my wife and then she cheated on me after 6 months..It's your fault". Really? Sorry dude. Yeah, I should have never introduced you. Shoot me.

All bountyjobs has done is serve themselves and the hiring facility. There is no benefit to the recruiter. More reqs?? Sure, but more competition with those reqs. Instead of competing with 3-4 other companies, now all recruiters compete with hundreds.

I use bounty jobs only because my clients do, but I won't be for much longer. I sure would like to see bountyjobs send out a recruiter survey to see how it has affected our business. All I see are company testimonials. Sure, they love them because that's who bountyjobs works for. How about helping the recruiters who are doing all the work for free, in HOPES of making money? How about making it mandatory that client take calls from recruiters so we can get important details that are ALWAYS left out of the req?? How about doing something besides skimming off the top to make a buck?? Bountyjobs is a joke, and I would like to see 1000 recruiters join me to tell the world about it.

bountyjobs, bountyjobs, bountyjobs, bountyjobs, bountyjobs, bountyjobs, bountyjobs, bountyjobs... Cmon, find this post you Googler's..

Rithesh,

Thank you for your post on BranchOut! You're right that BranchOut is a great resource for job seekers (especially gen-y) and recruiters. In this economy everyone can use some help and Facebook's social graph of 500 million people is an unprecedented boost.

Best,

I made three placements back in 2008. I have not made any placements since. I have submitted 20 candidates per requisition. Company states they have filled the position out of bounty jobs. They keep the candidats. I know there was a candidate, who I submitted to a company. The company did hire him a few months later. I am told by hiring managers that these are their candidates. So we do the hard work and if they hire the person, we have no control since they are in the data base. We have no protection as recruiters not even a year. If they use our candidates in the next year, we should have some say so and get the fee too. I work for myself and fill more postions on my own, than working for bounty jobs. You do all the work and they keep the candidates. Not fair, we prescreen and submit candidate. The hiring managers don't get back to you for weeks. Always undecided..for weeks..either you are interested in the candidate in a week or two not 4-6 weeks..Who stays on the market for 4-6 weeks in rearlity...

Thanks Glenn. Looks like I was hurrying up for my come back.... Good to hear from you and you are right. The boolean works to an extent if we filter the search to twitter but then you have "search.twitter.com". It would have been great if they supported boolean for FB.

Nice find, Rithesh, and glad to see a post from you after a long absence! Unfortunately, I do *not* think it supports the NOT boolean. For example, you do get results containing job if you search for
ssrs ssas -job http://www.kurrently.com/search/ssrs%20ssas%20-job
(filter for Facebook only and it's more obvious)
It's also sad that they don't support the OR boolean, or quotation marks!
