Managing an employment agency in the Knowledge Based Economy

In the new Knowledge Based Economy traditional intermediaries or middleman, such as employment or staff placement agency faces new threat and challenges - Disintermediation.

It is now nearly axiomatic that the Web is a threat to the Middleman. Why bother buying from an intermediary when you can go directly to the source? Eliminating the middle guy (a.k.a. "disintermediation") theoretically brings economies of scale and savings for both buyers and sellers or job seekers and employers.

Employers simply ask "Why should I pay such hefty commission to employment agencies if I can search for any potential candidates over the web? Or I can use the services of any staff search portals and pay a minimum monthly fee?"

Employment agencies, travel agents, car dealerships, newspaper classified ads--distributors of all kinds are being threatened with extinction.

Then there's the odd case that stands conventional wisdom on its head--where the Web actually enables the Middleman to become more powerful than ever. Empowerment comes from the use of the Web to innovate and re-invent the Middleman's business processes. Empowerment when new Services Values are created, where Agencies can provide Added Values to customers.

Empowerment when traditional processes are automated, operational efficiencies are improved, productivity increased, cost are reduced and services oriented towards solving customer's needs.
