Providing Career Advice and Employment Opportunities together with Seasonal Goods, Toys, Clothing and Home Entertainment seems an unlikely combination, but JobJobbedís association with UK online retailer ìDiverzionsî opens a new dimension in Online Recruitment.
With only 12 more shopping days to go, one could easily be forgiven for thinking that the anticipated Seasonal slow-down would begin early this year, but Career Advice, Online Vacancies and Top Tips for CVís can now being picked up freely via the Diverzions Online Shopping Website (http://www.diverzions.co.uk) together with Christmas Gifts, Toys, Presents, Food and Electrical Goods, as Job Jobbed (http://www.jobjobbed.com) enters into a reciprocal relationship with the online retail host.
ìDiverzions is a high-energy, busy and dynamic Online Shopping Hypermarket and our demographic is fundamentally different from the model demonstrated by many established recruitment portals.î said Andrea Swain this week when she released details of their new affiliation within the world of online recruitment, adding ìWe are obviously attracted by the high levels of visitor traffic enjoyed by the Online Recruitment Sector, especially as their demographic is appropriate to many of our products and stores.î
ìThis is far from being a one way street and while the proposal from JobJobbed.com was attractive, it is worth considering that over 25 million Britons now regularly use interactive technology and over 5.5 million of us even bank on line!î She said adding ìWe believe the addition of a Careers Section together with some guidance notes and creditable information will add value to our visitor experience.î
ìWe already have relationships with numerous reputable online retailers such as Curries, Comet, Virgin & Marks and Spencer. Similarly, we promote diverse and exotic goods including Lingerie and obscure Adult Toyís, as well as more general products such as DVD Players, CDís, Computers Books and so on. With many hundredís of stores from Avon to WH Smith and products from Scoobie Doo merchandise to Robbie Williams tickets, I think that defining our visitor profile could take me longer than we all have todayî laughed Andrea.
Rupert Ellis from JobJobbed.com added ìWe initially saw the potential of Diverzions from the perspective of their Office Supplies and Computer sections, without truly realising the diversity of visitor profiles that their site attracts. We have always maintained that recruiters should try to be creative in their efforts to attract the right candidates,î said Ellis, ìand our association with Diverzions.co.uk will bringing variation and add value to the service that JobJobbed.com provides to its subscribers.î
Ellis added ìOur industry has a responsibility to ensure that it is presented in a positive fashion, where its transparency and confidentiality encourages new tiers of candidates and recruiters to embrace it. By presenting sound career and employment advice, without obligation or pressure, together with an open invitation to discover more, we feel that through Diverzions, we can reach a potentially very different and untapped market on behalf of our clientsî
