As the economy continues to slow down (the 4th quarter of 2007 was the worst quarter for the economy in 5 years), employers and recruiters are looking for ways to spend less without compromising their forward progress.
SourceSimple offers a very good solution.
Employers and recruiters can use SourceSimple baseline sourcing campaigns rather than paying for the staff and resources to do the work in-house. We use all the industry-standard resources (CareerBuilder, HotJobs, Monster, and more). All day, every day, we advertise and search for our clients. To use in-house resources to get the same results we deliver, you’d have to spend thousands of dollars per month.
SourceSimple campaigns start as low as $30 for 7 days of baseline sourcing. No long term commitments, no overhead, no risk. It really is the best deal in the recruiting world.

Many of our clients already ran advertising before retaining SourceSimple, so they weren’t interested in the job posting portion of our baseline sourcing (BaSo) campaigns. Until today we used an ad hoc approach to this situation, calling the search-only campaigns ‘Modified Network Campaigns’.
Starting today we have a new option on our campaign proposals called ‘Search Campaign’ — we’ve been running these campaigns under a different name for a while now, so it’s great to have an easier and more intuitive method for clients to request this level of service.

Though SourceSimple changed our campaign lengths from 10 days and 30 days to 7, 14, 21, and 28 days, any client who wants to keep the 10 day campaigns for $30 is able to do so. We are grandfathering all ‘active accounts’ to maintain the longer 10 day campaigns, if desired.
‘Active accounts’ include all clients with pre-paid packs of discount campaigns or with monthly subscriptions. Simply make sure that the account always has at least one campaign in it, and you’ll be able to refresh the account with 10 day campaigns in the future.
If you don’t currently have an active account with $30 10 day campaigns, it’s not too late to get one. To ensure our clients are afforded the greatest level of convenience and flexibility, we are keeping the option open for clients to purchase a pack of discount campaigns. This option will be maintained on this page of the site until Sunday, 06 Jan 08.

If you would prefer a monthly subscription, please send us an email with the specifics of your needs and we’ll work out the best solution.
Since our launch in 2006, SourceSimple offered clients 10 day campaigns and 30 day campaigns. The 30 day campaigns were priced at the then-maximum standard discount of 15% off.
Starting January 1, 2008, we are pleased to offer our clients greater flexibility in campaign lengths and deeper discounts for longer campaigns. Our new structure is:
- 7 day campaigns
- 14 day campaigns : 10% off
- 21 day campaigns : 15% off
- 28 day campaigns : 20% off
Though the 7 day campaigns are offered at the same price as the old 10 day campaigns, including Monster resumes in each campaign should increase the total number of resumes per campaign versus the prior structure. We believe that this change will help our clients better customize campaigns to their needs, while simultaneously getting improved results from campaigns.
At the beginning of December 2007, SourceSimple started to include resumes from Monster in all campaigns. That means that every baseline sourcing campaign we run for our clients contains a complete sweep of all three major general databases — CareerBuilder, HotJobs, and Monster.
Initial statistics support an approximate 20% overlap in resumes from the three sources. Thus the inclusion of the Monster database translates into a 50% increase in resumes per campaign.
