HMV sets new record as external jobs go online
Entertainment chain HMV has become the first high-street retailer to place all of its external recruitment - including assessments for every job - online.
The company, which receives between 60-100 job applications a day across its 190 stores in the UK and Ireland, is using its revamped careers website to ensure consistency in its external recruitment process, which is largely driven at a local level.
"We have lots of people applying and we want to treat them in the right way because they are invariably regular customers," said Liam Donnelly, HR director at HMV.
