Seems a good thorough programme – certainly we’re interested, however we aren’t sure what the business benefits of wordpress are?“. Read the rest of this entry »

Social Media in Recruitment Survey

The social media in recruitment survey is now finished and is ready for analysis and writing up as a report.  The report will come out early February and I just wanted to let everyone who took part know that the draw for the bottle of Champagne will take place at the BusinessXchange meeting in Bournemouth on the 22nd February.  We will let the lucky winner have the bottle just as soon as we can get it winging it’s way through the mail system.
