Atkins teams up with Jobsite.co.uk

Atkins, one of the world’s providers of professional, technologically-based consultancy and support services, has awarded Jobsite, a online recruitment website, a 12-month contract to provide online recruitment services. A key factor in this customer win was Jobsiteís ability to supply more quality candidates than the other online recruitment companies trialled ñ during the six-month trial, 56 new employees were appointed through Jobsite.

Jobsite will work closely with Atkins to deliver quality candidates for the consultancyís global expansion programme including key overseas markets. Along with helping to drive traffic to the website through email newsletters and promoting key search terms, Jobsite is also collaborating with Atkinsí HR team on vacancy advertisement and intelligent posting.

Karen Wallbridge, head of recruitment for Atkins comments: ìFor Atkins, people are the most important asset. We needed to source high calibre candidates efficiently and Jobsite was head and shoulders above the competition, especially with recruits from the engineering sector. Jobsite was also very flexible, tailoring the service to our needs, encouraging jobseekers to visit our website for information. In fact after Google, Jobsite is the largest driver of traffic to our site.î

Keith Potts, Managing Director, Jobsite, added: ìGetting the right people into the right jobs is vital to the success of a company and it is a vision that Jobsite and Atkins share. This new partnership will give Atkins access to one of the largest candidate pools available in Europe, which will enable it to harness internet recruitment to its full potential.î
