PMP Recruitment, part of Cordant Group, has teamed up with charity Unseen to launch a new campaign to raise awareness of modern slavery across the labour and supply chain industries.

As part of the ‘Be Seen, Be Heard’ movement, PMP will be encouraging its workforce, competitors, suppliers and clients to wear high visibility jackets emblazoned with Unseen’s Modern Slavery Helpline number.

The three-month campaign will see PMP’s employees sharing campaign materials with their industry contacts, including order forms for the specially-made jackets and other merchandise, such as wristbands, key tag fobs, hairnets, posters, snap bands and pens. Companies can use the forms to order and pay for the merchandise themselves, with 10% of the total order value going directly to Unseen.

In a separate move, Unseen has launched its new free smartphone Unseen app.

Rangam Talent Network has launched a new mobile app. Available on the App Store and Google Play, the app helps jobseekers with career planning and development by enabling them to apply for a position, track the status of each job application and send a notification to recruiters.

• Bristol-based start-up Sixty Seconds has released a video app enabling recruiters to create company-branded video job adverts by simply completing a form.

The videos provide an animated clip of job role, location and salary. Recruiters are set up with tailor-made templates designed to match their company brand guidelines.
