Artemis Recruitment

Artemis Recruitment has been advertising with The Isle of Thanet News pretty much since its inception, anticipating that due to the excellent quality of Kathy’s work there would be a lot of exposure throughout the Thanet area and beyond.  The Isle of Thanet News has proven extremely popular I am glad to say, and we have seen a corresponding uplift in the amount of candidates applying for jobs that come directly from the site.  I definitely recommend IOTN as a great way to get your message out there and promote your business.

Digital IOT news has earned accolades from bodies in her industry. It is a real community medium. We have helped trace relatives of one woman in particular who had read Kathy’s story, rang us, I rang Kathy and she was able to pass her onto someone from her area who was able to complete the link. The site is really mobile friendly too one click on our advert and you are through to our website.”
