With its continued success and growing network of over 4,500 individuals, career and networking portal womenintechnology.co.uk is now launching a new recruitment service for companies who wish to take positive action and put diversity at the top of their employment agenda.
Offering both contingency recruitment and retained search, womenintechnology recruitment services will complement the online job board and networking events and give employers access to a wider and more diverse talent pool, including those candidates who may not be actively looking for a new position.
Heading up womenintechnologyís recruitment services is Madeleine Wachman, who brings over 13 years of recruitment experience to the role, eight of which were spent running her own IT recruitment business. The service will recruit both men and women, with the company ethos remaining the same – to secure the best candidate for the job whilst at the same time addressing diversity and encouraging more women into the sector.
ìAs a niche supplier, weíll be best placed to address diversity issues and work with companies on their recruitment, diversity and inclusion initiativesî comments Wachman. ìWe are simply giving people more choice and customers will still have access to our popular networking events and training sessions.î
She adds, ìCandidates may prefer to have a recruiter who can manage the recruitment process for them and be proactive on their behalf rather than apply through an advertisement. Similarly, companies who donít have in-house personnel to deal with recruitment or who are looking to fill a position that they donít wish to openly advertise may prefer to use the recruitment service. This is a really exciting development and Iím looking forward to being a part of it!î
