Finding the best candidate is as troublesome as finding a job today. Organizations are battling as much as individuals. At a time when acquiring talent can be more complex than getting customers, there is a need for solutions that assist businesses to hire the right talent faster- enter online recruitment marketplace. This has seen better results over the traditional recruitment process that allowed employers to look at the job market, specify their requirements and then shortlist, assess and hire the talent which is time consuming and ineffective.
What is an online recruitment marketplace?

Its all about Choice! The growth in marketplaces within the consumer industry for products has given rise to big marketplaces such as amazon and flipkart whereby a commodity in demand is requested by a buyer which is then fulfilled by one or many vendors. Similarly, the recruitment industry has seen a rise in similar marketplaces where the service is talent acquisition, is bought by employers and it is fulfilled by vendors - recruitment agencies.

Online marketplaces mostly tend to be cloud based platforms that enable businesses to scout for talent efficiently that take away most challenges of conventional recruitment methods. The method of bringing talent to the employer may differ from one platform to another but the principle and aim remains the same for all platforms. 
Advantages of online recruitment marketplace

Extended Reach 
The possibilities of finding the right talent is likelier through a recruitment marketplace because of the number of participants in the marketplace who operate on a level playing field. This means, businesses have more reach and a bigger database of qualified experts from where talent can be acquired.
Easy decision making 
Recruitment Marketplaces enable to achieve a more extensive pool of pre-screened competitors because of the nature of these platforms. This allows businesses to find talent from a shortlisted selection that has already been screened. This provides a faster decision-making process for employers and hiring talent faster. 

Control 
control over company time and costThe best feature about recruitment marketplaces is that the business is under full control of the process. Unlike conventional recruitment channels, the business is not left at the mercy of the candidate pipeline, quality of source used (job boards, agencies, advertisement’s response), instead most recruitment marketplaces rate their vendors who provide talent on several parameters such as turn around time (TAT), quality of candidates, number of candidates placed, expertise and other parameters that may be native to certain platforms.


While there are several recruitment marketplaces today, a few of them stand out from the rest.
