Swedish winter adventure business, Axehandle Mountain, has been using Land-Force.com for several years to recruit seasonal kennel staff to help look after its 65 purebred Siberian Huskies.

The business offers sled-dog tours from Christmas to Easter each year from its base in the small village of YXSKAFTKÄLEN in the North of Sweden.

Recently Axehandle Mountain needed to recruit an additional kennel worker to fill an urgent vacancy and so it once again turned to Land-Force.com.

Graham Kent from Axehandle explained, “we needed to rapidly find a new member of staff and so we placed an advert on Land-Force.com on a Thursday. We had 20 applications very quickly and following telephone interviews on the Saturday our new employee flew out to join us on the following Monday, just 4 days after advertising! I particularly like the CV functionality on Land-Force, which enables me to browse CVs and shortlist candidates for interview. We only advertise vacancies on Land-Force.com as we have been so pleased with the results in the past.”

Nottingham based Access Training provides training and apprenticeships in Animal Care and Horticulture as part of its wider business and was recently looking to recruit for a vacancy. Having never used Land-Force.com before Human Resources Officer, Chris Rodgers, didn’t really know what to expect but Land-Force.com delivered…

Chris comments: “The assistance I received in placing the advert online with Land-Force.com was second to none and compared to the price of advertising though other sources, the fee was very reasonable. Ultimately though, when advertising a vacancy, the most important factor is how the position was filled and ours was indeed filled via Land-Force. Needless to say, I have already placed a new advert on the site for another position that we are currently recruiting for.”
