Virgin Atlantic recruitment drive to soar with Monster.co.uk

Virgin Atlantic is to use Monster.co.uk to search and secure quality candidates in its airline business. To stand out from the competition, Virgin Atlantic has invested in a corporate profile page giving job seekers a sample of working life at Virgin Atlantic to be shown on Monster.co.uk. Virgin Atlantic has also purchased regular job postings and CV database offerings from the online job board.



Monster.co.ukís scale and track record as a job site is second to none, explains Alex Merrylees, Head of Resourcing at Virgin Atlantic. By profiling ourselves on Monster.co.uk, we ensure that weíre communicating the right message and recruiting the right people, quickly and efficiently. With such a high profile brand name we are always inundated with prospective candidates and Monster helps make our search more targeted.

Virgin Atlantic needed an online resource to recruit staff more effectively than the previously used more traditional methods. Although Monster.co.uk has previously dealt with Virgin Active, Virgin Holidays and Virgin Mobile, this is the first time that a division of the Virgin brand has taken advantage of online recruitment, maximising use of the Internet as a powerful recruitment tool.

Monster is delighted to be working with Virgin Atlantic, a brand that upholds the values of online innovation, says Alan Townsend, Regional Managing Director of Monster UK and Ireland. Monster has a track record of successful recruitment in the airline industry that will now allow Virgin Atlantic to attract and retain the highest calibre of candidates. Virgin Atlantic will have the benefit of the Monster platform to further enhance its corporate image to jobseekers looking for an exciting and rewarding career.
