GENESIS PERSONNEL OFFER TEXT SERVICE

Leading North-east recruitment firm Genesis Personnel has introduced an innovative service for applicants seeking employment opportunities.

Our company (which has offices in Aberdeen and Peterhead) is operating a service whereby registered individuals can be informed of potential job vacancies – all through the medium of text message!

Anna Eardley, Genesis Sales & Marketing Director, said: “We thought the SMS service would provide people with a different approach to finding a job. Texting is very convenient and can give everyone with a mobile phone the chance to access the job opportunities ‘on the go.’ "

Anna continued: “When the text comes through there is no obligation to take the position, but the service ensures everyone is getting the same chance and those who are interested can quickly follow it up. There seems to be a perception that agency jobs are restricted to certain fields, but we can offer jobs in a diverse range of industries from office work, promotions work through to the hospitality industry and beyond.

Temping can help someone identify where their interests lie, and can provide them with the chance to sample various jobs before committing to a career. Networking, work experience and even establishing business leads for the future are all vital tools to add to a CV.  Many people don’t realise what they can do, and maybe didn’t think about the various roles on offer – it’s only when they try it and get involved that a real interest emerges.  Once registered, applicants will remain on our files until they say otherwise, so even if they don’t want to take the first position offered there is sure to be another text on the way.”

Genesis Personnel provides recruitment and employment agency services to an international client base.

The company is owned by Seletar Shipping (Scotland) Limited of Aberdeen, Peterhead and Great Yarmouth.
