Recommend a friend!

Do you know anyone who wants to work in ICT in Aberdeenshire Council? If the answer is yes, then you could receive £50 worth of vouchers.

Kay Hopwood, who leads the council’s recruitment team, said: “We believe that the best way to promote vacancies is through word of mouth and that people already within the organisation will help attract the best candidates.

“There are numerous opportunities to join our growing ICT Service and we believe this is a great area to pilot our proposed employee referral scheme. If you do recommend a friend, acquaintance or family member and they are subsequently appointed then you will receive vouchers to the value of £50. Even if you recommend someone and they are not appointed your name will be put into a prize draw and you may win vouchers.”

Aberdeenshire Council is currently considering adopting an employee referral scheme and staff may soon receive a questionnaire asking for their views. If you would like to comment on the proposal prior to that, please send your thoughts to kay.hopwood@aberdeenshire.gov.uk
