Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce Business Expo 2017 plus #helpingyougrow competition

It was our fifth Expo and this year, as we have celebrated two record years in business we wanted to give something back to our clients to say thank you, so are offering free Temp to Perm transfers on all temporary assignment bookings over 12 weeks.

We have chosen this offer as this year especially we have seen a large increase in small businesses coming to us after they have attempted their own recruitment and been unsuccessful.

This method of recruitment, not only means that we advertise the vacancy free of charge and screen candidates to the specified criteria but also that the client gets to trial the candidate or the vacancy before committing to either on a permanent basis.

In addition the seminar I was honoured to be asked to give was targeted at small businesses, giving pointers on how they should structure their recruitment campaigns to ensure successful appointment.

Our slogan this year was “helping Island businesses grow” and in addition to our giant plant prize draw we had 100 desk top gardens to give away, which were gone from the stand by 4pm which meant attendance was great.

For those that picked up a desk top garden, we will be running a completion on twitter to find the best ‘grower’ we will also be continuing the offer to include all new bookings taken in 2017.
