Eligo Offer a 10% Recruitment Discount - 05 January ‘09
Here at Eligo we
have noticed that the initial economic fears have led to some
redundancies. As a result we’ve seen some incredibly talented individuals
with remarkable experience entering the job market.
In a recent article Lisa Armstrong
of Eligo said , 'For forward thinking organisations this is
the perfect time to gain a competitive advantage by introducing a strategic
recruitment plan set to harness the best of the best. This is also the
time for employees to re-evaluate their worth to the industry, reviewing their
skills and abilities. This could be a great opportunity to truly create a
mark within the industry.' (Prestige Magazine, 2009) Vicky Sear the Eligo Events Team Leader reiterated,
“This industry, like many others is built on its people. Employers and
employees from within the industry have the responsibility and challenge of
choosing the partnerships they form with each other. The right choice at the
right time determines the future success of both parties and whether their
goals are achieved.”
Therefore,
as we enter the New Year, Eligo Events has decided to offer exsisting and new
clients a 10% recruitment discount. Eligo hope this discount will make it
easier for companies to continue to grow and develop their teams. The discount
is only valid until the 26th February 2009, it applies to the total invoice
amount and is valid for only one placement per company.
Give us a
call or drop us an email regarding your vacany and confirm your 10% discount. To claim your discount please quote the discount reference no. E1013.

As part of an Eligo employee incentive the Eligo
Team visited Zadar, Croatia for 4 days. The trip was incredibly enjoyable and the
team spirit and bonding was infectious. A week down the line and you can still feel
