Expanding its reach beyond its bricks-and-mortar branches and bringing opportunities directly to jobseekers in a local area, Gi Group is proud of the positive impact of its mobile branch one year on.

Over the past year, the Gi Group recruitment van has been on a tour across the UK, visiting every major city where the specialist recruitment agency operates one of its 26 branches. 

Equipped with features such as an interactive jobs board, the recruitment van is designed to help jobseekers apply on the spot for a range of vacancies for permanent or temporary employment in the manufacturing, logistics, industrial, pharmaceutical and driving sectors.

Kate Sands, business manager at Gi Group, said the mobile branch really sets them apart from other recruitment agencies “as we can take our services out on the road and directly to the public, helping more people find work and explore new career opportunities”. 

She continued: “The immediacy and face-to-face nature of ‘being on the spot’ in city centres has certainly allowed us to help tackle unemployment figures in local towns over the last 12 months.

“We are continuously looking for innovative ways to support jobseekers at Gi Group and our mobile branch has been a major success for the business since it was first launched. As the way people seek new opportunities continues to evolve, we plan to continue to find new forward-thinking ways to approach recruitment.”
