HOTPROSPECTS DOES A JOB IN HOURS!
A specialist graduate recruitment service has placed a Sales Engineer with a Derbyshire company in just five hours!
Specialising in the testing and calibrating of medical equipment, JPen Medical Limited, based in Ilkeston, was looking for a new graduate to join its team as soon as possible - but the company was not expecting such a speedy response from HotProspects.
Launched in June, HotProspects acts as a specialist matchmaking service, linking the region’s graduates with businesses of all sizes and across all sectors. Already, over 1,363 companies and 10,000 graduates have registered their details with the site.
Jonathan Patrick, Managing Director of JPen Medical said, “I have a team made up entirely of engineering graduates and the business needed another urgently as we are expanding rapidly”.
“I was hoping to have someone in place within a few weeks, but we were really lucky and through HotProspects, we were able to find our match within hours! I made a call to the HotProspects account team at midday, who found suitable candidates that matched our requirements. After a successful interview, David was offered the job on the same day.”
David Gardner, new recruit at JPen, graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2005 with a degree in Computer Engineering. “I wanted this role because it would allow me to utilise the skills that I developed at university. I also saw it as a great career opportunity where I could play an active part of a young and growing company.
“I had looked at other recruitment sites before I found HotProspects, but this was the quickest and most effective service I have used yet, which also has the added extra of a dedicated account team that you can actually speak to. I would certainly recommend the service to other graduates.”
HotProspects is 100% grant funded for SME’s until April 2011 – saving the £1000 standard fee to be charged to larger corporate organisations and saving the 10% to 25% fees charged by many recruitment agencies. This unique launch offer has been made possible by support from East Midlands Development Agency (emda).
The need for such a service is quite clear. The region’s universities produce some 50,000 graduates each year but the East Midlands has the lowest graduate retention rate of any region in the U.K. Many of the 230,000 SME businesses in the region want to employ new, fresh, graduate talent and graduates want to stay in the vibrant and welcoming cities and towns in which they studied but no organisation to date has managed to effectively link this demand and supply chain.
