codegent

Codegent was appointed by The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) following a competitive pitch earlier in the summer to design and build 'Job Escalator', an online tool allowing advertisers to reach CSP’s members looking for new job opportunities.

Codegent has built a number of recruitment sites, including projects for ABN Amro, Gap, The Association of Graduate Recruiters, The Children's Society and RCM. The CSP currently publishes Frontline, the UK's largest recruitment magazine for physiotherapists.

Steve Mann, Head of Business Development at the CSP said:

"We chose Codegent because of their experience in the recruitment sector and their clear enthusiasm for the project we were looking to develop. We look forward to a successful relationship with Codegent."

The site launched on 'Friday 13th' of October and has had a fabulous response so far. It empowers employers to manage their own accounts and the applications that come through, as well as publish their own job ads and make payments online.

For the users, we've spent a lot of time really understanding the needs of job seekers and made the whole process as user-friendly as posible - including advanced tools such as lifestyle criteria filtering (people can search for jobs where there is a creche or parking facilities, for example).  They can even see how far a job is from their front door! Other tools include an ability to save applications for later, re-use previous applications and sign-up for a job alert service.

Ooooh exciting new project

We can't say who, but we won a new project last night that we're really excited about. Once contracts have been sorted I'm sure we can press release it. But it's a sweet, sweet win on so many levels.

Firstly, it's in a really interesting market for us, one that we're really passionate about. The guys we'll be working with are great - and its nice to feel that the effort ahead of us will be adding to people's lives. Also it's a great project for Red5 - we are going to be able to show some really great applications of the technology.

(also, the competition was pretty stiff - we know two of the agencies we were up against very well)

So, watch this space.
