SFE ties up online jobs website deal

SCOTTISH Financial Enterprise (SFE) has joined forces with global online career management and jobs service, eFinancialCareers to launch a new website portal promoting jobs in Scotland around the world.

The Career Centre is accessible via the SFE website. There are currently about 200 financial services roles based in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen on the site, said Amanda Harvie, SFE chief executive.

The arrangement between SFE and eFinancialCareers provides SFE member companies with a 15 per cent discount on all the site's services, covering job listings for Scottish-based vacancies, training courses and online and offline advertising options.

"There is a need for a dedicated service to promote financial services career opportunities in Scotland. Ten per cent of the Scottish workforce is employed directly and indirectly in financial services and the financial services industry in Scotland has grown by 36 per cent over the last five years."

Joel Davis, head of marketing at eFinancialCareers said: "Scotland is a growing international financial centre so we are delighted to be partnering with SFE to offer Scotland's financial services industry a world-class website service that will help meet its recruitment needs and raise awareness of the many and varied financial services jobs available in Scotland."
