A Digital Hiring Marketplace is an online, two-sided hiring platform, connecting candidates with various skill sets with businesses looking to hire both short- and long-term, either directly or through staffing agencies. Many of these marketplaces also leverage the power of modern AI-powered hiring tools that streamline every part of the recruiting process, from sourcing to shortlisting to hiring. Hiring marketplaces have the power to bring everyone into a common digital space: businesses, staffing agencies, independent recruiters, and candidates. As a result, businesses can reach a greater network of job-seekers and staffing providers across specializations and geographies, making it easier to quickly fill open positions with the right talent.
