Comparison
RecXchange vs job boards
A job board sells you visibility and leaves the work to you. RecXchange sells you nothing upfront - 15,000+ recruiters deliver the candidate, and you pay only when one starts.
| RecXchange | Job boards | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Qualified candidates, submitted by recruiters who know them | A stack of applications to screen yourself |
| Cost model | Contingency - pay only on a successful hire | Pay upfront per advert or per month, hire or not |
| Passive candidates | Reached through recruiter relationships | Invisible - they aren’t browsing job ads |
| Screening | Done by the submitting recruiter before you see anyone | Your time, your inbox |
| Speed on niche roles | A specialist likely already holds the candidate | Wait and hope the right person applies |
The honest verdict
Job boards are fine for high-volume roles where active applicants are plentiful. For anything specialist, senior, or urgent - where the right person isn't reading job ads - a recruiter network wins on both speed and quality, and costs nothing unless it delivers.
