The UK’s leading specialist engineering recruitment site, JustEngineers, today announces a major programme of development - commencing with the appointment of Eric Potts as Managing Director and the launch of new website technology.
Eric Potts, a qualified engineer, is one of the founders and a director of leading UK digital recruitment business Jobsite, and brings to JustEngineers over 20 years experience of engineering recruitment. A graduate Mechanical Engineer from Sussex University, Eric worked in design engineering within the medical sector until setting up a specialist engineering recruitment consultancy in 1987. He served as managing director there until helping to found Jobsite in 1995 – initially as a site specialising in engineering and IT candidates.
The new JustEngineers site, powered by award-winning technology from Jobsite Group, launches with an updated brand look and marks the start of a major marketing programme in 2011 to extend JustEngineers’ lead in the niche engineering recruitment sector.
Commenting on developments at JustEngineers, Eric Potts comments: “Running JustEngineers is extremely exciting for me; it is a return to my roots in engineering recruitment and gives me the chance to develop a great brand in an industry I’m passionate about. The new site represents a substantial investment in the adaptation of Jobsite’s best-of-breed technology for the specific needs of the engineering market, and we are certain both recruiters and candidates will notice significant improvements in the service we deliver.”
“We will follow the site launch with a series of candidate attraction initiatives in 2011, with a specific focus on reaching engineers in hard-to-recruit sectors of the markets. Whichever way you look at it, what is already the leading niche engineering recruitment site is going to get so much better.”
Jobsite Group managing director and brother of Eric, Keith Potts, comments: “Eric knows more about engineering and online recruitment than anyone I have ever met. As well as the exceptional level of expertise he will bring to JustEngineers, his sheer enthusiasm for this market is going to take the site to new heights”
