Recruitment firm launches remote job hunting app

DM Recruitment has launched its own app to allow job seekers to remotely register for work.

The business, based in Shrewsbury, currently works with businesses across the West Midlands and Wales but says the app will allow it to place people in jobs across the UK.

The recruitment business supplies temporary and permanent staff to industrial and commercial sectors, including key worker roles in food production and waste management.

Stuart Danks, director, said: “Our old system of meeting all potential candidates in person wasn’t going to be feasible in this new era. We knew our processes would need updating so that our temp workers and potential new candidates were able to communicate with us and apply for jobs in a safe and efficient way.

“Creating a Covid safe solution for recruiting made sense to our business in the long term, so we commissioned our very own app to be built from scratch. Our new app allows job seekers to remotely register for work and upload their documents, so they are ready to start work within 20 minutes – which in turn helps us to provide the best service to our clients.

“The app is slick and easy to use, and it has revolutionised how we recruit. Our temps and candidates don’t need to spend time and money travelling to us anymore, so they are happy too. Within a few clicks they can get themselves ready to start a new role from wherever they are in the UK.”

The new app, built by Mobile Rocket, can be used to upload documents, search for jobs, access timesheets, and communicate with DM Recruitment.
