COVER STORY
Pay-per-hire pricing takes the
guesswork out of recruiting
 Based on client feedback, CPGjobs has changed its pricing to address your needs. The recruiting services firm, which perfected the pay-per-posting pricing model for consumer packaged goods recruiting, has now added a new pay-per-hire solution that simplifies budgeting and makes ROI calculation easy. Pay-per-hire pricing is the latest innovation at CPGjobs, which has undergone a thorough makeover in the past several months.
"Employers want to know their return on investment upfront. With our pay-per-hire model our clients pre-pay for unlimited job postings until the right person is hired," says Michael Carrillo, president. Our prepaid pay-per-hire packages are customized to fit the employer's volume needs, and discounts are offered for larger agreements. "CPGjobs has always stood behind our service, and now we offer choice too," Carrillo says.
