The FDF strikes partnerships with recruitment apps Placed and SonicJobs
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) has announced a new 16-week partnership with job recruitment apps, Placed and SonicJobs.
The FDF has launched the partnerships with Placed and SonicJobs to share potential job opportunities across the food and drink industry, specifically in distribution warehouses, driving, and logistics. The Covid-19 crisis continues to take its toll with many thousands of workers facing potential redundancy or placed on the Government’s furlough system.
The partnerships with Placed and SonicJobs follow FDF’s collaboration with job recruitment app Syft, which launched last week. As a result, FDF is able to offer its members competitive rates of up to 60% off with these suppliers, allowing them access to a combined database of over 360,000 full time and temporary job seekers in the UK.
Placed is focused within London and has 130,000 experienced hospitality candidates signed up to their platform. Placed uses smart technology to smooth out the entire recruitment process by matching the right places to the right people in the very first instance.
Sonic Jobs is the #1 app in the UK for retail, hospitality, healthcare, logistics, cleaning and beauty. They are winners of ‘Best Innovation’ at the National Online Recruitment Awards and have over 200,00 candidates signed up to their platform. It is estimated that over 74% of their user base have the necessary transferable skills and experience for FDF members to utilise.
It is hoped FDF’s collaborations with Placed, SonicJobs and Syft will help as many people as possible swiftly return to employment, whilst also helping its members identify and recruit suitable candidates.
