As per usual there have been both good and bad news stories concerning the world of recruitment this week. Here are some of the most notable stories to hit the headlines.
Cadets are called for at Grampian Police
A new group of police cadets are being sought by Grampian Police. The new recruits will start as cadets in August this year and complete a year long course. This could be the first step towards becoming a police officer for those who do well on the course and show promise for the more demanding role.
Could recruitment in the Army be privatised?
It could if ministers approve the choice of Capita, an outsourcing firm, as the supplier of new army recruits. It is hoped that significant savings can be made by outsourcing the recruitment process. However not everyone is pleased with the decision – not least Kevan Jones, the Shadow Armed Forces Minister.
Flexible working opportunities to be highlighted at a recruitment fayre
More and more people are working part time for many reasons. Full time jobs are harder to get and many people want flexibility to enable them to look after their children. Thus a Leamington based recruitment fayre should be good news for those who want to explore this type of working in more detail. The fayre is due to take place on February 23rd between 3pm and 7pm. Attendees should visit the Bath Place Community Venture, which is in Avenue Road.
Huge job losses at Qantas
500 jobs have been announced to go at Qantas. The beleaguered airline has seen profits dive by a huge 83%, leading to cost cutting exercises to try and take hold of the problem. Although the jobs represent just 2% of the total workforce, it is still a worrying time for the company.
Good news and bad news – the story of the times?
It has been a mixed week on the recruitment front, as can be seen above. David Lyons, MD of online recruitment software firm eBoss, said: “There have been other instances where companies have announced further job losses on the back of a poor performance in the current economic climate. But it is also heartening to see efforts to turn things around in some areas”.

Have you created a brochure for your business? I recently updated our company brochure and these are some of the questions that I asked myself during this process:
What is the function/purpose of the brochure?
How much do we want to say?
How do we reinforce the message of the website?
What do we expect from the brochure?
How are we going to distribute it?
How will we know whether it has contributed to an increase in business?
In a future post I’ll update the results of some of the questions above. It is now with the designer and should you want a copy when it is ready please join our mailing list here

The eBoss recruitment database system has lots of useful functionality all designed to help make recruitment simple. Recently we integrated Broadbeans Ad Courier service with eBoss and along with Idibu we now offer more choice for our clients who wish to use either one or both of these services.
So, how does a job posting service work in eBoss? The concept is fairly simple and allows you to post your vacancy from your eBoss database system quickly to multiple job boards. eBoss also facilitates replies by emails to your database, linked to the job the applicant is applying for, so it makes it simple and easy to track the responses to your vacancies. We don’t charge anything for these modules and providing you have a subscription with Idibu and or Broadbean you are good to go. Current users of eBoss will find in our helpdesk a full video explaining exactly how to enable these services in your system.

We are often asked -usually prior to a new client signing up-, what the structure of our business is. Below are some of the more common questions:
1) Exactly how many staff do you have?
2) How many per department and who works in that department?
3) Where are they located?
4) How many clients do you have?
5) How many users do your biggest clients have?
etc
I acknowledge that these questions may be asked in good faith, and that the potential client may even think that the answers could help to make a buying decision,
But really, what the client wants to know is whether we are a reliable firm and whether we can honour our promises. This is what help clients to make up their mind where to buy the services they need.
So, rather than enter into a numbers war, and provide information which does not actually help clients decide about their course of action, we reassure them that we are able and prepared to meet all our promises and guarantee our commitments with sufficient staff and prompt service. And this is really what is useful for potential clients to know and helpful for them to make up their mind with whom to go. For example, we offer a 30 day money back guarantee on our subscriptions and on our web site we keep updated testimonials from our many satisfied clients .
In summary, we reassure our clients that we are a medium sized recruitment software company with enough resources to support our commitment to provide the best services for the product/service they buy, whether it be in the area of Support, Training, Marketing or Accounts.
This approach, we find, satisfies people and gives them the reassurance and guarantees they want when buying a service, while helping them to focus on the services they require and on making a decision to buy with the recruitment business most suited to their needs.
