Hill McGlynn, one of the UK’s leading recruitment organisations for the construction
industry, have scooped a major industry award by winning the Construction Marketing
Awards ‘Best Marketing Website’.
The Construction Marketing Awards recognise the work and achievement which contractors,
consulting engineers, architects and suppliers to the construction industry undertake
in order to market their businesses and products. With the Construction Industry
outstripping the UK’s GDP for the third consecutive year, competition throughout
the industry is tough and marketing plays a key role for all businesses.
The Hill McGlynn’s website, www.hillmcglynn.com, which attracts over 1500 candidate
applications to vacancies a month, was short listed from over 600 entries The judges
were impressed with the way in which www.hillmcglynn.com has developed its site
for its target audience and the way in which it marketed itself in order to direct
more candidates looking for jobs to the site.
Patrick Rovetto, IT Manager of Hill McGlynn said of the award;
‘It’s a great achievement for us to win this award and be recognised by the construction
industry as having the best website. We have spent over a year developing and changing
the website in order to make it more accessible for candidates and improving the
quality of the site and the way in which it works. Whilst the marketing of the site
made sure that we increased our site traffic figures, the quality of the site ensures
that people keep coming back’.
Steven Ware, Group Operations Director for Hill McGlynn added; ‘With more developments
on www.hillmcglynn.com due for 2005, the marketing of the website will increase
to ensure that we remain the number 1 website and organisation for construction
personnel.’
