How Mercier Consultancy Continues to Thrive in Recruitment Despite Market Shifts

As we step into the second half of 2025, we find ourselves in a challenging yet transformative landscape within the recruitment and staffing industry. 

The significant policy changes made by platforms such as LinkedIn and Indeed—namely, the removal of organic job postings—have had a profound effect on the way recruitment agencies attract talent. Many companies are struggling to adapt to the new reality of paid-only visibility. However, at Mercier Consultancy, we are proud to share that our recruitment and staffing division is not only weathering this change but continuing to grow steadily and confidently.

At Mercier Consultancy, we anticipated early on that over-reliance on third-party platforms could become a bottleneck. That’s why we built our recruitment model differently. We’ve invested in proprietary systems, job distribution networks, and most importantly, our people.

Our team operates on an agile recruitment model with dedicated multilingual recruiters who take full ownership of the hiring cycle—from job posting and candidate selection to client onboarding. With our in-house training academy, we consistently onboard and equip new recruiters with the right tools and techniques to succeed in this shifting landscape.

Unlike competitors still scrambling for visibility on major platforms, we’ve created a direct pipeline of talent through our existing reputation, targeted campaigns, referral networks, and long-standing partnerships.

Why We’re Growing While Others Struggle

We’ve diversified away from dependence on LinkedIn or Indeed by scaling our own job boards, optimizing SEO, and implementing referral programs across Europe and Southeast Asia.

Volume-Based International Hiring

Our focus on high-volume, multilingual hiring for international BPOs means we offer value at scale—something fewer agencies can provide in today’s fragmented visibility environment.

Dedicated Freelance Recruitment Force

 Our freelance recruiters operate globally, bringing in niche candidates faster and more cost-effectively. Their performance-based compensation ensures continuous drive and accountability.
