Local companies Employed.im and The Needle have come together to host their first ever Isle of Man HR and Recruitment Breakfast Seminar at the Forum, 17-18 Mount Havelock, Douglas on Tuesday 29 July 2014. 

Employed.im is the Isle of Man’s free careers portal for students, job seekers, job changers and employers, as well as being a go-to resource for education and training opportunities.  Having recently launched a video statement feature provided by The Needle, candidates can now record themselves answering interview style questions.  Candidates can use this training tool to improve their interview technique by playing back their interview, or they can make it public to attract potential employers.

The free breakfast seminar will provide information and insight into local HR resources and provide an excellent opportunity to network with peers and find out about developments in the industry. 

The event starts at 7.45am for registration with breakfast, tea and coffee with presentations commencing at 8.15am.

Key topics for the event include:

•         What can Employed.im do for you? An overview of the Island’s skills portal from an employer’s perspective – PDMS
•         Writing effective job adverts and listings – Search and Select
•         Supporting Isle of Man employers. An overview of the Manx Industrial Relations Service and how they can help you – Julie Bradley.
•         Video interviewing and recruitment – how video can help find the right people for your business – The Needle.
The event will conclude with coffee and networking at 9.15am – 10.00am and all attendees will receive a 1 hour CPD certificate.
