Permanent Personnel Recruitment Procurement Category Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 01, 2014 -- Permanent personnel recruitment services have a buyer power score of 4.3 out of 5, representing a high degree of leverage in the purchasing process for buyers. Price growth for personnel recruitment services has remained relatively stable and is expected to remain so; suppliers compete with fees charged; and commission is transparent. However, according to IBISWorld procurement analyst Andrew Krabeepetcharat, “Negotiating power is limited by low profit margins among suppliers, which reduce the vendor's ability to reduce prices.”
Several external factors have had an effect on prices of permanent personnel recruitment. “An improving economy and labor conditions have incentivized suppliers to raise prices in response to growing demand,” says Krabeepetcharat. The declining unemployment rate has increased the demand for job searches and consequently boosted demand for personnel recruitment. Also, the growing level of corporate profit in the United States has allowed businesses to hire more employees and ultimately outsource the hiring process to personnel recruitment agencies. These factors boost demand for personnel recruitment, cause prices to rise and slightly hamper buyer power.
Buyers of personnel recruitment services also benefit from a low level of market share concentration. Due to the higher number of suppliers in the market, competition mitigates price growth. The majority of suppliers are small regional agencies due to low barriers of entry into the market. Despite the presence of large multinational suppliers, no single supplier controls a substantial percentage of the market's revenue. The low level of market share concentration benefits buyers because it promotes price competition among suppliers and gives buyers several options in choosing a supplier. Major suppliers in this market include Adecco SA, Allegis Group Services, Hay Group and Kelly Services Inc.
Competition from substitutes has also offset the price growth of personnel recruitment services. The rising popularity of professional social networks such as LinkedIn gives buyers a cost-effective alternative to personnel recruitment services. The moderate level of substitutes ultimately gives buyers more negotiating power.
