The Role of ATSCo
I’m delighted to introduce you to Ann Swain, the CEO of ATSCo, who over the next couple of week is going to write a couple of blogs discussing the recruitment industry.
Hello and welcome to my first blog – not just for Jobsite, but for anybody. I last kept a diary when I was about 10. That was mainly about girlie stuff. This blog should deal with some weightier issues – but be no less interesting for that, I hope!
First of all, I ought to explain who I am and tell you a little bit about the organisation I run. I’ve worked in recruitment for over 25 years, and I am currently CEO of the Association of Technology Staffing Companies (ATSCo), which is a body that represents the technology recruitment industry.
ATSCo has many functions, but an aspect of its remit which is likely to be of most interest to you, the candidate, is that it expects recruitment companies who are members should treat candidates to a high standard.
89% of Jobseekers want to have their say…
This week at Jobsite we’re busy starting to prepare for the 2007 RecruitRank awards which will take place in London in November.
Set up 18 months ago, RecruitRank was born out of some Jobsite research we did, which revealed over 50% of people hated job seeking. In particular, the lack of respect from recruiters and poor communication were real bug bearers, so we decided to do something about it and RecruitRank was created.
Hosted on the homepage on Jobsite, RecruitRank is basically a free confidential online forum for jobseekers, which invites jobseekers to feedback to recruiters on their experience every time they apply for a job. What’s great about RecruitRank is that it not only allows people to feedback confidentially to their recruiter, but also to share their experiences with fellow job seekers through our daily ranking system (which lists the ten best recruiters every day according to your feedback), providing a trip advisor type recommendation system.
