Revenue model

1. Recruitment and Placement Services: IEL generates revenue by sourcing and placing qualified candidates with client organizations. This includes permanent placement, contract recruitment, temporary staffing, and international placement/offshore outsourcing services. Revenue is earned through placement fees, typically based on successful candidate placements.
2. Human Resource Management Outsourcing: IEL offers full or partial HR function outsourcing to clients, handling payroll processing, tax obligations, employee benefits administration, and HR compliance. This generates recurring service fees from clients who outsource their HR operations.
3. Training Services: IEL provides customized training programs covering talent management, team building, brain mapping, and critical thinking. Training is offered as a separate service to both organizations and individuals, generating one-time or project-based fees.
4. Career Management Services: IEL assists job seekers with resume building, interview preparation, networking support, and career coaching. While these services support the overall recruitment ecosystem, they may generate revenue through individual candidate engagement.
