Kaplunk

Kaplunk was founded by a businessperson who was once a job applicant. He started questioning the ethics and the reasons for complicating a recruitment process that wasted talent instead of appreciating skills, for him, the in-market strategy was raising eyebrows. He questioned if it was ethical or correct, that an industry has been created from job seekers who are just seeking employment. Realising the enormous profits that traditional recruitment agencies are pocketing from employers (£40 billion annual turnover) he wanted to provide a moral voice for candidates and employers. This train of thought led to a genius idea—Kaplunk In 2022 Kaplunk launched the first UK bespoke built Employment Community Platform, for the sole use of company HR teams and applicants alike. This will simplify the employment process for HR and applicants, with a transformative approach to saving recruiter fees and promoting ethical recruitment. Kaplunk is providing a revolutionary platform to assist companies in completing the recruitment process for themselves, with an in-house experience for human resources. A saved recruiter fee allows employers the freedom to re-invest in their company and current personnel. Traditional recruitment agencies charge staggering percentages, sometimes as high as 25% of the starting salary. The average recruitment fee is £6,000. This is a significant expense for HR – why pay it when there is an ethical alternative? By connecting directly with our diverse talent pool on Kaplunk, companies will make significant savings in recruitment fees, and finally open the opportunity for applicants to highlight themselves directly. Since our launch, we are proud and humbled that so many industry leaders are following us. Kaplunk stands against unfair profit generation and exploitation of professionals. Kaplunk-leading with empathy.
