The Best Price

What's the best price to pay for a product or service? Well, in times of budget constraints, there's nothing better than something for nothing.

In fact, the word "free" has come to carry a certain cache post-recession; where free may have once signified lesser-than, today it arguably means smarter-than.

Perhaps this is why companies seem to be attracting customers by offering products, services, and information gratis—and providers of talent management solutions are no exception. Last month alone, 10 companies touted free offerings at TMT.

Among these offerings are free job postings, a free applicant tracking system, and free career videos. Knowledge-based solutions can also be had for, you guessed it, free.
