Feather Brooksbank augments e-recruitment offering - 01/06/2006

Our online experts, Dawn Anthoney in Edinburgh and Lucy Thomson in Manchester are currently developing our e-recruitment offering. Online is having an increasingly important role in the recruitment advertising market. For the job-seeker, access to the internet has become affordable and accessible, meaning that online job-seeking has crossed over from its natural audience of IT and professionals to a wider C2DE audience. With 700 job boards in the UK. there is a website to suit all types of vacancies, skill sets, geographical locations and salary levels, so adverts can be highly targeted to the right audience. For the employer, websites are cheaper, more accountable, and with developments in technology, increasingly sophisticated, in terms of both gathering response information and candidate attraction with rich media like video streaming.  

As HR departments gear up to increase online spend from 10% to 34% of budget, the recruitment team at Feather Brooksbank has increased its expertise in the planning and buying of online media on behalf of our clients. We have the knowledge and facilities to be able to suggest the right websites for any given role, and we can identify the best ways to drive traffic to a clients vacancies. Our creative partners can design fully animated web advertising and on top of that, our Digital team can put together plans to use non-recruitment sites to drive traffic to a clients own careers website, backed up with strong Search Engine Marketing and Optimisation, and even recruitment web-builds from scratch.  

If you would like to speak to someone about online recruitment, please call Dawn on 0131 555 2554 or Lucy on 0161 834 9793.
