Esendex holds key for jobseekers

The Key Personnel Group provides a range of recruitment services across a diverse variety of sectors.

As one of the East Midlandsí largest and most successful independent recruitment companies, Key Personnel prides itself on employing the latest IT and software technologies to support its service offering.

The company approached Esendex, the leading provider of business text messaging solutions, when it was looking for a fast and efficient way of notifying temporary and permanent candidates that positions had become vacant.

General manager of Key Personnel, Sherrine Swallow explains: ìSome staff were already using their own phones to send texts to candidates as they were looking for the most effective and quickest way to carry out their work and meet targets to receive commissions.

ìWe realised then that business SMS would provide us with a crucial tool as, not only was it allowing the team to work more efficiently, it was also making the job hunting process a far more comfortable and easy experience for those using our services.

ìThe key issue for the jobseekers is, of course, discretion. If he or she is currently in employment and looking to change his or her job, it is not desirable to receive a phone call in work about new opportunities.
ìItís a two-way process. The jobseeker can text us back and immediately register his or her interest in the position and we can then refine our lists and searches accordingly. Esendex has, in effect, helped us to create a win-win situation.î
