Launch of the first e-recruitment guide specific for the retail market

Hire Strategies, retail recruitment specialists, today announce the launch of the first ever UK e-recruitment guide specific to the retail sector which will be available on 1st August 2006.

íRetailers guide to E-recruitmentí is obtainable from Hire Strategies and is available in two versions - hardback and electronic. The guide is backed by Jobpartners and Retailhomepage.co.uk, both provide a range of unbiased content. Quite simply, the guide aims to explain the íins and outsí of online recruiting.

Peter Gold, MD, Hire Strategies, explains: I have been working in recruitment for 20 years and the knowledge I have acquired over the years is invaluable - my reason for writing this guide is to answer many of the questions I am asked almost every day, that in isolation are not of any great value (other than to the person needing the answer) but hopefully put together in one place, will provide help and advice to the many recruiters trying to keep abreast of the latest e-recruitment technologies.

David Blume, UK & US Operations VP, Jobpartners: Jobpartners are delighted to be a key sponsor for the íRetailers Guide to E-recruitmentí. As our strength in the retail sector continues to grow with customers such as Boots, Carphone Warehouse, Superdrug and Carrefour, we believe a guide like this will make it even easier for retailers to see how they can make more of our technology to reduce recruitment costs and enhance their employer branding by providing a better candidate experience.

Sections within the guide are written by a number of specialist contributors and explore the foundations of recruiting and the internet, how to attract potential applicants to your job advert, which job boards to use, e-recruitment systems and how to use them effectively. There is also an industry research section which forms a íwhoís doing what with e-recruitment?í.
