Recruitment Advertising Solutions for City College Southampton

We are delighted to have been working with Senior HR Advisor at City College Southampton, Michelle Foston, for a number of years. We are responsible for managing all of their recruitment advertising across the entire organisational structure of the College, from Administration and Catering staff through to teaching staff and senior members of the management team.

We work as an extension of the College’s HR team. Through building a lasting, trusting relationship with them and developing a deep understanding of their needs and challenges, we continue to achieve enviable success rates. A crucial element of this success which is appreciated by the College, is our Campaign Analysis and Reporting, enabling us to review the number and quality of applicants generated by each advert and assess the value of that method for future roles.

Across the entire further education sector, all budgets are increasingly restricted including those for recruitment, meaning that finding more creative solutions within limited funds is part of what we do. Our commitment to re-advertising roles at no additional cost if they are not filled within a certain time period, has been a valuable asset to the City College Southampton HR team, helping them to find the best possible candidates for their vacancies.
