Gosh we are being busy bees at the moment so just thought I would let everyone know where we are going to be in the next month....

• Tonight Carole and Ana will be attancing the Business South Networking Event at Dock Gate 4, Carole and I went to the last one and we found it very enjoyable and we made some great contacts.
• Next wednesday 24th February Emma and Carole will be attending a digital networking event in London where they hope to meet the sought after Online specialists who we are always keen to hear from.
• On the 4th March Sophie will be attending the Business South Event at the The Rose Bowl to see if she can make some good contacts.
• Carole and I will be attending the Directors Cut at the The London Line up in conjunction with Only Marketing on the 31st March.

So if anyone is planning to go to these events it would be great to hear from you so we know who to look out for.....

Hi everyone,

We are just looking into some new websites to try advertising on... Could people please let me know what sites they use mostly as it will be the best way of gauging what will work for us, thanks in advance.

Well we have made it back after christmas almost in one piece... Mel has a broken arm after starting training for our fundraising bike ride later this year... not to worry though an exercise bike has been purchased so there is no escaping it. We are all motivated after a well earned rest so will be on the case to get more roles in for january, so watch this space.

The staff at Solutions 4 Recruitment deserve a massive pat on the back for raising £2000 for Naomi House Children's Hospice over the course of 2009. The team have run the "Great South Run", held an online raffle, donated the 2008 christmas card budget and donated a % of takings. We are currently researching charities to support for next year and are already coming up with new and exciting ideas for fundraising in the upcoming year.

At Solutions 4 Recruitment we are always looking for new ways to improve the efficiency of the interviewing process. One area we are currently looking into is the use of Skype as an interviewing method..... So many internal meetings at Solutions are difficult to set up due to the schedule of the candidate and a telephone interview isn't always enough. So, we are considering fitting a webcam in our interview room so that we are able to perform interviews online for those candidates who are unable to come and see us to register. The debate that we are having is.... is the market ready for this??? Technology has moved on leaps and bounds over the past few years, but how many people have webcams in their own homes or have access to them at all???

We would like to open this debate to the public and ask you whether you feel you are ready to go down this route or as a country are we not quite there yet?
