The Cambridge News Job Fair (10am – 4pm) - sponsored by Cambridge Regional College - is a forum to help jobseekers find the ideal vacancy, and companies to identify the perfect candidates. Cambridge Network's Recruitment Gateway - which lists hundreds of jobs from the Network's 1200-strong membership in a single online portal – will be represented, with the Network team on hand to tell you more.
"We know that more than 4000 job applications were made through the Recruitment Gateway last year alone," says the Network's COO, Hilary Laing, "so we are definitely helping our members to find the talent they need. We've found that attendance at careers fairs pays dividends because we can talk to individuals about which employer companies might provide the best fit for them.
"The broad spectrum of jobs available belies the fact that our membership is largely high-tech. In fact our members offer a huge range of non-technical permanent positions, with administrative, HR, sales & marketing, procurement, operations, financial, design and many other roles advertised alongside the more technical engineering, project management and scientific jobs.
"We also have specialist areas on the Recruitment Gateway site dedicated to graduate, temporary and contract, and agency vacancies, so we offer something for everyone. It's a fantastic one-stop shop for experienced professionals as well as those looking to start a career or return to work."
Recruitment Gateway's Thursday electronic jobsletter - which lists all the latest jobs posted within the past seven days – has more than 5000 subscribers, so the word is spreading fast. To sign up to receive it, simply enter your email on this site (see the right-hand column on the home page, or the left-hand form on other pages). You can easily remove your name at any time.
Employers - if you are struggling to fill vacancies, think about joining Cambridge Network and taking advantage of the Recruitment Gateway.
