Employer
The employment market in Ireland is rapidly changing. Established Organisations, SME's and Startups are all finding it increasingly difficult to maintain revenue and finding it more and more difficult to maintain competitiveness in the international market. Now is the time where they need experienced management the most.
On the other hand, Freelance Business Experts that have been working flat out for the last 10 years are now finding it more and more difficult to get project work through their network of contacts. Equally, there are a large number of very experienced people that have worked at the highest level of Irish industry that have been made redundant and cannot now get work. Now is the time that we need to utilise this experience the most.
This is where ExperienceXchange comes in
ExperienceXchange is a free online service where Industry leading employers can seek the services of experienced business Experts for flexible contract work.
How does it work?
ExperienceXchange can work in one of two ways.
An Employer using ExperienceXchange can search for the ideal Expert for their requirement. The search results will return a summary of only qualified experienced Experts that come with a strong proven track record. You then identify the Expert most appropriate to your requirements and request a meeting through ExperienceXchange. ExperienceXchange then arranges for this meeting to take place and tracks the progress of the assignment and its success.
The Second option is for a company to post a request for the services of an Expert on ExperienceXchange. This would normally happen if the company has performed a search and feels that they have not come up with an Expert with the right set of skills. Experts can then express their interest in the assignment through ExperienceXchange and forward their details to the company. Again, this is moderated by ExperienceXchange and the company and Consultants success is tracked.
ExperienceXchange offers a number of key advantages over the traditional routes of recruitment agencies and professional service consultancies.
- No fixed costs involved as the Expert is working on a contract basis.
- Total control over resource selection and rate negotiation.
- No agency or consultancy company involved in the hire so no large fees.
- Consultants on ExperienceXchange have a minimum of 10 years industry specific experience.
- No long term commitment to the consultant is necessary keeping your fixed cost base low.
