Share |

Smartmove is a new human resources and recruitment company based in Barbados. The company was established to create a link between employers and potential employees using creative options such as social media.

Holetown (I-Newswire) November 29, 2011 - Holetown, Barbados - Smartmove, Barbados’ newest HR & recruitment company, is urging Bajans to get creative in order to create more jobs during the recession. According to Simone Forde, Human Resources Director, facebook and other social media can create a unique opportunity for businesses to engage with the public. This can lead to job creation and a strengthened relationship between the employer and potential employee.

“During tough economic times, it is necessary to explore different ways of carrying out business. Employers obviously want to recruit ideal candidates and at Smartmove we work with the business community and jobseekers to find the best fit,” says Simone, “We use our social media pages to post vacancies, share tips on interviewing, training tools and motivational videos. Facebook has proven to be a powerful business tool overseas for networking and we hope to bring that same kind of environment here.”

During the month of November, Smartmove will be offering trial services to all of its new clients. Each week, new videos will also be previewed on the facebook and blog pages. "This will allow us to introduce Smartmove to the Bajan public," says Simone. The company has already been contracted to provide all human resource services for one major real estate entity. As the client list continues to grow, Ms. Forde revealed that Smartmove will be introducing a mentoring and internship programme as well as promoting Corporate Social Responsibility across the region.

"The Smartmove team is highly professional and we are excited about launching this service and providing Barbados with an extensive menu of professional recruitment and human resources services," says Simone, " our goal is to assist both companies and individuals with creating,securing and maintaining employment."

This approach has been hailed as innovative and the use of social media globally has changed the face of marketing and advertising.
