Remote interviewing
Dan Barfoot, Operations Director, said,
“We have technology in place to enable the
recruitment market to keep moving.
CMD have introduced free video interviewing
as part of our service to support employers
and applicants alike. This allows live remote
interviews to take place for those who have
self-isolated and those who are acting
prudently to avoid risk. Alternatively, to allow
those who are short of time or have family
responsibilities inside of the normal working
day, we offer a prerecord option that can
be used anytime and reviewed anywhere
by our clients when it’s most convenient.
No specialist hardware is required, you can
even use your smart phone. The technology
is secure and private which allows
businesses to keep moving through these
extraordinary times. If you would like more
information about these services, please get
in touch.” Online training
Natalie Sherman, Founder of Naturally
Social, said, “Being a small business has
allowed us to react and adapt quickly,
how we work, where we work and what
we ultimately do. Online communication
and service delivery is likely to soar over
the coming weeks while businesses who
sell online see increased demand, and
those who don’t will use tech to drive
their business forward or maintain brand
awareness. Social media is an excellent
outlet to support this.

charities and small businesses to focus
on personal development too, so you can
expect to see us offering online courses and
webinars. Not all of this will be chargeable
either. We’re very focused on purpose before
profit and I really believe ‘we gotta get thru
this’ together, so I’ll be delivering live weekly
workshops via Facebook, Instagram and
LinkedIn for free – for anyone to attend,
starting on Wednesday 25th March. Topics
will include, advertising on Facebook, how to
build community groups, Instagram stories
and so on.”

“We would normally be out meeting larger
clients who are considering outsourcing
their comms strategy, but we are now in a
position where we need to turn back towards
the training arm of our agency – focusing
on upskilling smaller businesses in how to
do social media well in order to grow and
connect with customers. It’s going to be an
ideal time for employees of larger firms,
