I was recently asked by my man of many years to find a job for a friend of his, he then looked shocked to find out that I am not in fact a recruitment consultant, that RecruitIreland.com isn’t a recruitment agency and that I work in Marketing for a jobs advertising website. The fact that I’ve had this job for 3 and a half years does make me wonder if he ever listens to me. I’m not even going to mention my family, who reside in Scotland so get some reprieve, but my sister thinks I’m a web designer and my mum thinks I still work in a Chemist…

Anyway I digress, but this isn’t the first time this identity crisis has happened? To me or to others in Recruit. So this is our challenge– if the people closest to you don’t know what your website does, how do u make sure that the people who count (the jobseeker) do?

8 years in business and we are constantly mistaken for a recruitment agency- I’d guess the name doesn’t help, and the comparison isn’t an insult just inaccurate. I do feel helpless when people write in or call you for help in finding a job, and my reply is that I can't really help you directly, please log on and look for a job yourself. Essentially that is the essence of our site- browse for jobs, have a good nosey around, keep coming back and see what's going on, see something you like, apply. We want to make it easier and clearer to people what we do so if anyone has any ideas please let us know, you’re the guys in the midst of it so fire the ideas up to us- go on, make my job easier!
