As an early supporter of the Government’s Age Positive campaign, in line with European employment legislation introduced in October 2006, we are pleased to announce the launch one of the most innovative recruitment initiatives this century (so far) - agepositivejobs.com.

Government legislation now outlaws age discrimination in the workplace and ensures that employment opportunities are equal for all; irrespective of gender, religion, ethnicity, physical ability or, now, age.

Employing older people is no longer simply about good PR. Research by The Employers Forum on Age in September 2003 recorded that “three-quarters (76%) of managers questioned believed that older workers brought experience and loyalty to a job and 67% thought they were more reliable than younger workers", demonstrating the value of mature workers in the employment mix. With more than 2.8 million “economically inactive” candidates between 50-65, “workers in extra time” are a very real asset to companies facing skills deficits.

Agepositivejobs.com offers employers all the benefits of advanced online recruitment. It is the perfect solution for employers seeking to demonstrate that they are recruiting fairly and equally from all sectors of the workforce, and particularly with respect to the country’s ageing population.
