We have been employing ex-service personnel since Landmarc was founded in 2003. Due to the nature of our operations, we actively seek to employ veterans because of the specific skillsets they have, with around 25% of our current workforce made up of ex-military staff.
Because the locations that we operate in are often very rural, we face a number of recruitment challenges that fall outside of the norm. Many candidates will have little or no access to home broadband, but are no less ‘tech savvy’, which means some of the latest advances in recruitment technology, including social recruitment are much more challenging to implement.
Using more traditional recruitment methods, such as local print advertising and job fairs, while building a positive employer brand that makes the best use of available tools, such as the apprenticeship levy, help to maximise recruitment opportunities.
