Edinburgh, UK-based KPI Recruitment has launched a free Food and Drink Manufacturing Industry Jobsite allowing employers to post unlimited vacancies for no charge AND receive applications directly from candidates for free As managing director Robert Ding explained, "Until now the food industry has been dominated by generic agency advertisements that tell potential candidates little about the vacancy and even less about the company"

"With the leading industry publications charging fees to advertise, with no guarantee of filling the job, it is hardly a recipe for reducing recruitment spend! Here at KPI we felt it was time for a shake up." Their new Web site offers both the most cost effective and most comprehensive targeted recruitment solution to UK Food and Drink Manufacturers currently available.
Candidates now have the ability to view and apply directly to companies, allowing them to hear first-hand what employers are looking for! KPI's market research revealed that some UK employers are put off advertising in other 'Free' publications or websites for two reasons.
Firstly - those that are not specific to the food and drinks industry tend to produce a large number of candidates without the required FMCG experience - KPI's website is extremely specific and focused on the Food and Drinks manufacturing industry alone.

The second reason is the high number of agency calls and unsolicited submissions that result the moment an advert is posted.
Through a fast, simple but rigorously enforced registration process KPI have sought to eliminate this problem.
By not allowing recruitment agencies access to the full vacancy details they help human resources managers get on with their day.
The key benefits of using the site are as follows.
* Full vacancy details are only available to registered candidates/employers ensuring firms are not bombarded with agency calls the moment they post a vacancy.
* The site is free creating an opportunity to reduce recruitment spend.
* Applicant CVs come directly to your inbox - straight from them to you.
* You can insert your company logo thereby promoting your employer brand to candidates for free.
* In the event that the position is not filled through the advert and firms turn to an agency - they qualify for a 20% discount on KPI Recruitment's standard fees.
* About KPI Recruitment - the only vacancies on the site not posted by an employer in or related to the Food and Drinks Manufacturing Industry are those that carry the name of KPI Recruitment.
These vacancies are from existing clients that prefer to use KPI's specialist services.
This can be for many reasons but typically it is due to the urgency of the vacancy, a shortage of suitable candidates or occasionally a need to keep the company name confidential.
While KPI expect the new site to afford many employers the opportunity to make savings on their recruitment spend, engaging a specialist agency will always enablefirms reach the greatest number of candidates quickly - particularly if you remember that the perfect candidate is not always actively looking.
KPI hope their free advertising finds employers the person they are looking for - but should they have a need to use a recruitment agency they hope their extensive experience will be sufficiently impressive to make KPI Recruitment the first choice.
