This enables companies to broaden their candidate search and fill positions more quickly on their own terms. Hiring-Hub claims it takes an average of just 19 days to fill a position with only those that successfully make a hire paying the fee.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its innovative model, the online recruitment marketplace has built up an impressive client base including Sega, Jaguar Land Rover and Maplin, and following a &pound;425,000 investment last year has bought its total funding to just under &pound;1m. The Manchester-based firm has already caused quite a stir in the estimated &pound;27bn UK market, and with a projected turnover of &pound;4m this year, has ambitious plans to further revolutionise recruitment in the UK and beyond.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simon Swan and Sara Jones, 34 and 30Company: Hiring-HubWeb: www.hiring-hub.com Featured as part of our 2014 Young Guns to Watch, Sara Jones and Simon Swan&rsquo;s Hiring-Hub is on a mission to disrupt the stale, traditional, recruitment model with its unique, web-focused approach.
