Some context
The UK recruitment market is extremely competitive, with over 2,500 players within the M25 around London alone. The market has become increasingly specialised as companies require candidates with certain skill sets or experience to fit their market. Recruitment margins have been squeezed due to technology, competition and tougher client negotiations.

I joined Randstad as they were centralising functions and internal systems across all departments. They were looking for someone to help them with automated email campaigns, management of the job boards, SEO and PPC and an end-to-end recruitment reporting tool to help them understand online marketing channels were the most effective in generating sales Randstad was also in the process transitioning all their current websites into one key recruitment hub: Randstad.co.uk, this needed to be managed across several recruitment divisions, each of which had a different personalised website.
