Coloplast ‘Goes Social’ In Search For New Recruits - Linkedin And Qr Codes For Everyone

July 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Peterborough-based medical devices company Coloplast  is combining social media networking and cash rewards for its staff in a bid to recruit the brightest and best people to sustain its continuing profitable growth.

The company is offering to provide business cards – printed on transparent plastic rather than conventional card – to any employee who has a profile on LinkedIn. The offer extends to all levels of the business, to encourage all employees to search for new talent.

Each card carries a unique QBR (quick response) code which, when scanned by a smart phone, links the user straight to the LinkedIn page of the card’s owner.

The objective is to help Coloplast staff network both online and offline as part of a recruitment exercise aimed at ensuring the company continues to recruit the very best people for all levels and roles within the business.

The company offers existing staff a bonus of £600 if they successfully introduce someone to Coloplast, followed by a further £600 six months later when the new recruit has successfully completed their probation.

Sam Sedwill, HR director for Coloplast, said: “Coloplast continues to grow and develop and we want to recruit people who can grow and develop with us. Our existing staff are our best recruiters because they can tell friends and family what it is really like to work here.

“We hope this creative twist on the classic business cards and the encouragement to become active on LinkedIn will increase the opportunities our people have to talk to others about Coloplast as a great place to work.”
