ACR on Facebook to hook up with new temps

Forward-thinking recruitment agency Anne Corder Recruitment has increased its online presence - by setting up a Facebook account.  

The Peterborough-based agency is the first in the city to set up a business page on the social networking site. The launch has been timed to coincide with a series of open afternoons the agency is staging to pinpoint potential new candidates.  

"This is the ideal way of us using social media to reach new people," said recruitment partner Karen Dykes. "Our open events are targeted at a specific audience and our new Facebook page gives us another opening to get in touch with them.  

"Recruitment is such a fast moving business that all the online social media tools that are available now are the perfect way to help us keep up - and for our candidates and clients to keep up with us."  

The open events being publicised on the ACR Facebook page are aimed at qualified and experienced temps specialising in accounts, administration, secretarial roles and business to business sales.  

"The upturn in business many companies are talking about has resulted in an increased demand for skilled temps," said Karen. "We are helping our clients to find the right people to help drive their businesses forward over the coming months."  

Potential candidates are being asked to pre-register for the open events by emailing recruitment@annecorder.co.uk or by getting in touch via the Facebook page http://tiny.cc/ACRfacebook.  

The events are being held on Thursday March 18 at ACR's Park Road office and Tuesday March 23 at the satellite office in Tyndall Court, Lynch Wood.
