A‘Meet the Buyer’ event was held at
the Aberavon Beach Hotel where local contractors had the
opportunity to learn about the forthcoming developments and
potential opportunities.
Following the event Workways met with
Harbour Way Project Manager John Skentelbery who provided job
descriptions for the initial posts.
Workways advertised the vacancies to
all representatives of the Employer Support Group, including all
convergence projects, Jobcentre Plus and Careers Wales in order to
match suitable people.
Workways collated over 200 CV’s and
shortlisted suitable candidates for each post before assisting with
the interview schedule.
‘I am very pleased with
the support that we have received from Workways in sourcing
suitable candidates for our vacancies. Our future recruitment plans
will continue with Workways support and the wider Employer Support
Group within Neath PortTalbot’.
‘I would urge our
contractors to consider engaging with Workways Employer Liaison
Officers regarding their recruitment needs’.
‘The support we have
received fromWorkways and the wider Employer Support Group has been
