The recruitment industry is continuing to pour money into the relief efforts for the victims of the tsunami disaster.

Global recruiter Manpower has pledged to construct a vocational training centre in the Tamil Nadu state in India, where an estimated 6,000 people died.

Manpower chairman Jeffrey Joerres said: “Since the disaster struck, we have researched many potential activities to help people in the affected countries.”

Newport-based recruiter Acorn will donate its revenue from supplying staff to last Saturday’s tsunami relief concert at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.

Maria Evans, Acorn’s director of operations, said: “Ours is a gesture from the entire company that I hope will help to boost the amount of money raised at the concert by a significant amount.”

The Recruitment Society also donated the entrance fees from its January meeting. Steve Huxham, chairman of the Recruitment Society, said: “I had a client contact and a candidate out there.”

Eurosource, which specialises in running charity recycling appeals, has pledged to recycle old mobile phones and printer cartridges.
