Has anyone here tried using offshore CV sourcing services?
I’ve experimented with several over the past year. They offer significantly lower costs for access to certain job boards that I found didn’t yield a positive ROI at full price.
The quality of service has varied quite a bit, but we’ve certainly made some low-cost placements.
I’m on the lookout for new suppliers—any recommendations?
