Recommendation and comparison websites are a go-to tool for consumers and the recruitment industry now has another such offering, newly launched by TalentPuzzle.

The site provides a public directory of recruitment firms that have signed up, allowing clients to search, view and directly invite recruiters to work on their vacancies, as well as showing feedback reviews.

Recruiters sign up to the site “for a nominal annual subscription fee”, a product launch announcement says.

This marks an evolution of TalentPuzzle, previously an online recruitment marketplace which also launched a vendor management solution in 2011.

In April 2012, recruiter.co.uk reported the launch of another recruitment comparison and review site, CompareMyRecruiter.com, while other similar services have been launched in recent years including Get Compare and Recruitment Reviews.
