KPI GLASGOW TEAM EXPANDS TO INCLUDE DRIVING & HOSPITALITY RECRUITMENT SPECIALISTS
KPI Recruiting’s presence in Glasgow continues to expand with another new team member starting in March.
Mick Hayes, Hospitality Recruitment Consultant Mick Hayes is KPI’s Hospitality specialist with 5 years’ experience working with head chefs, chefs de partie, cooks, kitchen assistants, waiters and bar staff. “I love working with people and food,” said Mick, “and as the saying goes, never trust a skinny cook.

ORGANIC VISITS & SOCIAL TRAFFIC DRIVES KPI WEBSITE SUCCESS
Peter McGarty, Driving Recruitment Consultant
Peter McGarty joins with several years’ experience in recruitment, sales and customer service. “I’ve had a few different types of job in the past before finding my calling in recruitment,” said Peter, a sports fan who enjoys football, fives and gym visits. “My specialism is logistics, and with 3 years background in the sector and plenty of connections, I feel I’m well placed to help KPI’s current customers and also help build our client base.”
Powered by a significant rise in organic traffic and social click-throughs, KPI Recruiting’s new website has received over 60,000 visits since it’s re-launch on 22 August last year, with organic visits rising by seventy percent alone year on year. And with most visitors searching for jobs, KPI’s clients are feeling the benefit of their jobs being in front of more eyeballs with over 10,000 hits on the KPI website each month. Marketing director Chris Furness said, “The new website looks amazing and includes a flexible job search tool, but the real success story is the number of visitors we’re attracting. Our organic traffic is up 70% compared to 2023 and 150% against 2022 figures whilst direct traffic is also up nearly 69%.” KPI’s social click-throughs have also increased 58% year on year, fuelled by a rise in social followers which now total well over 100,000. “Our social media reach continues to rise,” said Chris. “We have social media profiles for each of our branches and sectors across Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, X and TikTok which provide groups of relevant followers to advertise specifically targeted jobs adverts to. KPI has social groups with over 70,000 members, giving our clients a huge potential audience for their vacancies.” As website traffic rises there is often a drop off in the quality of traffic, but www.kpir.co.uk is maintaining an engagement rate of 64% so far in 2024 which is 1.2% higher than 2023. A MARKETING MYRIAD!
