Recruiter free job website shakes up legal recruitment

2011 is going to be an exciting year for the legal recruitment sector as twosteps powers ahead as the leading recruiter free job board. Twosteps, the job search website for the legal sector, boasts jobs from some of the world's most powerful and influential employers. Twosteps' rapid growth and success has been due to its customer focussed regulations, which include:

  • No recruiters can post jobs on the site
  • All jobs must be posted direct from employers
  • All jobs must be genuine, individual and active

These values have led to a dramatic rise in popularity and utilisation, as it ensures transparency, ease of use and trust. When twosteps conducted market research into the biggest annoyances for job seekers the three main disappointments were:

  • When recruiters say "that job isn't available anymore"
  • When recruiters flood you with inappropriate roles
  • When recruiters push you to go to inappropriate job interviews

Twosteps.com allows employers to advertise law jobs for lawyers and legal staff direct to job seekers without recruiters poaching their candidates. Employers can search and filter their own candidates from a global database of lawyers and legal professionals. Jobseekers can search job roles and contact employers direct without having to go through a recruiter. Twosteps launched in the legal sector and currently advertises jobs from law firms in Australia and the UK.

The twosteps concept was introduced to help employers cut recruiter costs by having direct contact with applicants instead of paying recruiter fees of up to 30%. The database search function is much more accurate as it doesn't use traditional keyword search, instead it searches on specific skills and qualifications.

Twosteps has a broad online presence across all the largest and most popular social networks. It grew rapidly in its first 6 months due to its use of digital marketing and being an active member of the online community and industry influencer.

The website launched in August 2010 and has already been nominated for the Australian Jobs Board Awards 2010, in two categories 'Best Newcomer' and 'Best Innovation' because of its unique and advanced combination of cloud recruiting, headhunting and online talent management.

Its head quarters are in London and Sydney. The name twosteps comes from the recruiter free element of the website. Twosteps removes the 'middle man' in recruitment and requires only one step from an employer and one step from a job seeker.
