the hotgroup plc have announced the appointment of a new senior executive,
Michele Sklar.

Michele brings with her a wealth of experience in both on-line and traditional recruitment. In 1983 she joined Blue Arrow as Area Manager where she was responsible for several branches in the London area. After 5 years with the company she left and joined Adecco as Area Manager; there she was promoted in quick succession to Regional Manager, then Senior Operations Manager and eventually Operations Director. Micheleís next move to Totaljobs.com in December 2000 was as Director of Response Management.
There, amongst other things, she was responsible for redesigning the candidate registration system, implementing a candidate tracking system and improving candidate search facilities.

Michele will have a broad spectrum of responsibilities. She will initially be responsible for the introduction of new processes and procedures for the groupís online division; sites of which include PlanetRecruit, JobSearch,
JobTrack and HotRecruit. Sheíll be working closely with the groupís technical development team, and one of her first projects will be to implement measures to further enhance the site experience for both jobseekers and clients. This will involve updating the registration and
search facilities across the groupís network of sites. The role will also include managing the account management team for the groupís online division.

ìThis is a very exciting time to be joining the hotgroup and Iím relishing the opportunity of working for such a progressive and dynamic companyî, says Michele. ìI feel my knowledge of both on-line and traditional recruitment
will be extremely valuable for this new role. My experience in the online industry has given me a clear understanding of the frustrations facing many
jobseekers and recruiters. My initial objective at the hotgroup will be to ensure all of their sites over-deliver in every respect.î

ìWeíre absolutely delighted that Michele is joining the team,î says Harvey Sinclair MD and Founder of the hotgroup plc. ìHer experience in both on-line and off-line recruitment will be vital as we further develop the
groupís strategy of creating a leading recruitment company that successfully combines the online and traditional recruitment business.î
