Scottish training website launch

Findatrainer.co.uk is the first online resource dedicated to promoting stronger links between freelance trainers and organisations in Scotland. The free to register site allows organisations to search quickly and easily through a comprehensive database, in order to book a trainer suited to their specific needs. The online aspect of the search engine and booking process reduces administration costs, resulting in highly competitive client rates.

The site has been set up by HR People Solutions; a Scottish based HR Services Company, as an alternative method of sourcing freelance trainers. Countless directory searches and numerous phone calls are no longer required in order to find a suitable trainer, as the siteís search engine pinpoints immediately trainers with significant experience in their field. The administration team ensures that every trainer will be referenced checked and logged appropriately as to industry sector, skill and location. Registered clients will be given personal training files so that a record can be kept as to what searches they have carried out and what trainers they have booked in the past. The database spreads across all industry sectors with close to 200 different training skills to choose from, and with regular sign ups from training providers looking to strengthen their presence in the marketplace, the siteís substantial database is continually growing.

John Hailstone, Managing Director of First People Solutions Group, parent company of HR People Solutions comments ìThe decision to create a website came about due to the amount of requests we were receiving from clients of First People to assist with sourcing training. It became clear that a site such as this would be an invaluable tool to HR and Training Functions as it puts them in control of the search process.î

Simon Knox, Client Services Manager for HR People Solutions comments ìWe have already received considerable interest from companies wishing to register with the site, with significant numbers having already registered prior to it being launched. The feedback from the trainers has also been great and we are looking forward to its success.î
