It\u2019s a live debate in our industry \u2013 particularly on the question of who makes initial contact with a prospective candidate. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have started to see these activities becoming increasingly differentiated, as the skills and techniques to be a true specialist become harder to master.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the last few years we have also observed some of the best talent teams in the world (not to mention many of the largest global staffing businesses) structuring different roles and functions around these different areas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RecruitLoop<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we\u2019ve always been about simplicity and transparency \u2013 for our clients of course our recruiters. So in full transparency, I\u2019ll admit that from time to time our Sourcing Service may have caused a little confusion.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are we a sourcing solution or a recruiting solution? Are we a marketplace of sourcers or recruiters? Is the sourcing done hourly? Or are our recruiters in fact researchers and market mappers?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We don\u2019t like confusion. At all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2 id=\"recruitloop\"><b>RecruitLoop<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RecruitLoop<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is (and will continue to be) a global marketplace of over 6,500 expert recruiters available to help clients anywhere in the world with as much or as little of the recruitment process as they need.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However because we provide both services, recruiting and sourcing, last year we decided to communicate it clearly to our partners and clients and spin out our sourcing service as a separate product.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2 id=\"candidate-express\"><b>Candidate.Express <\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candidate.Express<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes away the time-consuming portion of candidate list building and email validation \u2013 allowing you to spend more time talking with candidates, not looking for them.
