New Company using Social Media to Combat Recession

Nov. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Holetown, Barbados - Smartmove, Barbados’ newest HR & recruitment company, is urging Bajans to get creative in order to create more jobs during the recession. According to Simone Forde, Human Resources Director, facebook and other social media can create a unique opportunity for businesses to engage with the public. This can lead to job creation and a strengthened relationship between the employer and potential employee.

“During tough economic times, it is necessary to explore different ways of carrying out business. Employers obviously want to recruit ideal candidates and at Smartmove we work with the business community and jobseekers to find the best fit,” says Simone, “We use our social media pages to post vacancies, share tips on interviewing, training tools and motivational videos. Facebook has proven to be a powerful business tool overseas for networking and we hope to bring that same kind of environment here.”

During the month of November, Smartmove will be offering trial services to all of its new clients. Each week, new videos will also be previewed on the facebook and blog pages.
