Enfield-based commercial and industrial recruiter S&T Recruitment is launching a new service to help the unemployed back into work.

S&T's Samantha Ticehurst told Recruiter there was a gap in the market to help the unemployed with their CVs. "Candidates don't get a lot of help with their CV's," she said.

Ticehurst said Jobcentre Plus had expressed an interest in the idea, and that the company was in discussions about how it might receive payment for every unemployed person it helped.

Those who use the CV service will enjoy " the best of both worlds", added Ticehurst. Not only will they get expert help with their CVs, they will also have access to to other agency services.

The new service is due to be launched in October when the company moves to new purpose-built facilities.
