It's roadshow time!

The roadshow is the perfect recruitment tool, enabling employers to take advantage of a pro-active recruitment environment, the perfect place to find a future workforce.

The recruitment, training and careers event is being held at the Guildhall on May 19 and, with numerous exhibitors from a variety of industries already taking part, visitors will be spoilt for choice.

Exhibitors booked in so far include Atlantic Housing, CITB Construction, First Hampshire Buses, Hampshire Police, Hyde Housing, JK Recruitment, Kelly Services, Lloyds TSB, NHS Professionals, Oasis Recruitment, Orange, Red Funnel Group, Skandia Life, Southampton City College, and Southampton City Council as well as the Teacher Training Agency, Team Recruitment and The Open University, plus many more.

For the price of an average advertisement, recruiting organisations, universities and colleges looking to enrol, or those just looking to raise their profile, can be part of a pro-active exhibiting experience, already favoured by hundreds of regular Job Scene exhibitors.

Time wasted on CV filtering and numerous interviews can be exchanged for a day out of the office well spent.

Dan Goldsmith visited the Southampton Roadshow at the Guildhall in 2003 and walked away with a job. He now works as a field staff operative at Fountains plc.

Last year Dan was back at Job Scene the Roadshow where, in a twist of irony, he was staffing the Fountains stand.

"The roadshow attracted a wide variety of people through the door and it's great to actually talk to people," he said.

"I came here with my mum in May 2003. I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I came and spoke to Fountains about the fast track system, signed up, went for an interview and now I'm fully qualified to work in a vegetation environment on the railway banks."
