Around 1,000 potential candidates attended Employment Hub's recruitment drive with Siemens Gamesa in February.

Register your place at Employment Hub’s Recruitment Event

Those looking for work or seeking alternative job opportunities are invited to a recruitment drive at Hull’s Guildhall.

The Recruitment Event is being hosted by Hull City Council’s Employment Hub and is completely free to members of the public.

It will allow potential candidates to meet employers which will be showcasing a range of jobs in the region, spanning various sectors.

Businesses confirmed in attendance include Humberside Police, ResQ, Tesco, CHCP (NHS) and Cranswick, as well as the Army.

Opportunities are not just limited to full-time roles, with part-time and temporary contracts also available, as well as shift work and volunteering.

The Recruitment Event is aimed at reducing unemployment in Hull as well as assisting the city’s care leavers into new and better opportunities.

Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, the council’s portfolio holder for economic and business regeneration, said: “The Recruitment Event is a fantastic chance for both those looking for new or alternative work, as well as employers, to meet in person and discuss positions in a less formal setting than they would normally, such as in a job interview.

“We have seen the success of the Employment Hub’s previous recruitment drives, such as with Siemens Gamesa in February, which saw over 1,000 potential candidates in attendance.

“As a council we are working hard to do all we can to reduce unemployment and assist Hull care leavers into work and events such as these help to achieve those aims.”

The Recruitment Event will take place from 9:30am to 2:30pm on Thursday 19th October in The Guildhall.

Prospective candidates can register their place here, whilst businesses interested in hosting a stand can do so by calling 01482 616623.
