Why was AllianceQ formed?

Our member employers are tired of the fragmented, expensive and proprietary nature of recruitment, where barriers are placed between job seekers and jobs in the name of revenue.

Our employer members realize that together they are the biggest force in recruiting – they have all the jobs and the resources – and if they collaborate, they are the market and they can set the rules.
