Recruitment
has always comprised a significant proportion of Avocado Media's billings.
In fact, the first advertisement placed by the agency, in September 1984,
was a half page recruitment ad. It was a foundation that was to stand
the agency in good stead. After all, job ads are the most direct response-orientated
of all advertising. If the telephone fails to ring and the mailbag is
empty, there's no hiding behind 'awareness issues or 'branding' arguments.

The company's two founders both came from a personnel background. Hugh Joslin established his first recruitment consultancy in 1982, having worked in the industry since the 1970s. George Shaw, having held senior positions in consultancy, media and agency spheres throughout the 1980s, was voted 'Most Respected Person in Recruitment' by the readers of Recruit magazine in 1990. Companies
such as Cable & Wireless, Bristol Helicopters and Connolly Leather, as
well as financial institutions including; Girozentrale Vienna, Fuji Bank,
Morgan Grenfell and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce have all retained
Joslin Shaw for recruitment campaigns. |
