Fashion retailers, like the vast majority of employers, have radically changed the way they staff their businesses. The fact that a significant percentage of the UK population automatically turns to the internet when they need work has radically changed the way in which many in the retail sector find staff. Specialist retail recruitment websites have found that increasingly firms are posting their job adverts online rather than in the trade press or newspapers. Fashion Recruitment is one of the places where dozens of webpages can be found advertising hundreds of fashion retail vacancies.
The early adopters of this approach were mainly the large fashion retailers. Those retailers realised early on that it was the quickest way to find the people they needed. Because fashion retailers need to recruit for literally hundreds of shops, they have an almost constant need for new staff. Naturally, when these businesses were offered a way to speed up their recruitment process, the opportunity was welcomed and almost instantly adopted and now has become the preferred method of recruitment based on perceived volume.
Advertising online allows companies to publish their vacancies to literally thousands of jobseekers and do so with just a few minutes work. Businesses are able to copy and paste previous job descriptions to speed up the process even more. People who are looking for work need only type in the name of their town and select the distance they are prepared to travel for work to quickly find retail jobs in their area. Modern retail recruitment websites provide a valuable service for both retailers and jobseekers.
Small retailers are increasingly advertising online as well
Today, even small fashion retailers are using the web to help them with their recruitment based on the increase in boutique and SME business job postings within the last few years on various specialist retail recruitment websites. Businesses find that posting their job ads online enables them to find people quickly and at a low cost, according to informal surveys. At first, small retailers were worried that the services offered by these specialist recruitment agencies were out of their league due to the small size of the business in question, however when these boutique and small businesses investigated what was available, many realised that posting vacancies on websites often worked out cheaper than posting job adverts elsewhere. The fact businesses only have to pay one set of advertising fees rather than having to pay multiple fees to post adverts in several newspapers and magazines is behind the cheaper cost.
