Developed and launched the peopleXpress recruitment concept to provide a service that is affordable and attractive to employers who would otherwise conduct recruitment as an in-house activity.Unless a company is large enough to employ in-house specialist HR staff to manage recruitment programs, it is better to outsource those tasks to recruitment specialists but until now those costs have stopped many employers from doing so,It is a service that is delivered on-line but personally managed by dedicated HR professionals. It is the efficiency of the process that makes it cost effective and high quality.
