Anthony Nolan is delighted to announce that it has once again been chosen as the official charity for Onrec Conference and Exhibition 2014 in a match that will see both partners benefit from each other’s knowledge of recruitment.
As Anthony Nolan focuses on online recruitment of stem cell or bone marrow donors, it will benefit from Onrec’s expertise as the magazine, directory and online news resource for HR Directors, Personnel Managers, Job Boards and Recruiters.
Anthony Nolan will receive £50 from each conference ticket sold in September as part of the partnership. It will also be given a complimentary stand at the conference giving attendees the chance to add the role of lifesaver to their CV.
Lila Dowie, Anthony Nolan’s Senior Corporate Partnerships Manager, says, “Anthony Nolan and the online recruitment industry share a purpose – to recruit the right candidate for the job. The only difference is at Anthony Nolan our ‘jobs’ are lifesaving ones. We recruit over a third of our donors online so we share the same goals and challenges as more traditional recruiters. This partnership is a perfect match of skill sharing as well as raising awareness and vital funds for our work.”
Anyone aged 16-30 is invited to join the register at the Onrec Conference on 21st October at The Grange City Hotel, EC3N 2BQ, 9am-4pm. Jobseekers, recruiters and HR professionals can all join the Anthony Nolan register by simply filling in a short form and providing a saliva sample. If a potential donor is found to be a match for someone with blood cancer, in 90% of cases the donation procedure is similar to giving blood.
David Hurst, CEO of Onrec.com said, “We are delighted to have Anthony Nolan as our conference charity again. Their impressive ability to match donors to people needing transplants has great synergy with the online recruitment industry, matching candidates to jobs.”
