The Crown Estate, which counts Regent Street and St James’s in London’s West End among its £16 billion portfolio, is hosting a ‘Made in Central London’ recruitment event on 16 May at The Londoner Hotel in Leicester Square for up to 1,000 applicants.
In association with British Land, Grosvenor, Shaftesbury Capital, Westminster City Council and the Department for Work and Pensions, the event will see over 30 businesses recruiting, including major retail brands such as Liberty, Burberry, Jo Malone London and Fortnum & Mason, as well as leisure and hospitality operators and facilities management businesses.
‘Made in Central London’ brings together businesses and potential employees in one space, offering short, speed interviews for live vacancies. Attendees could go home on the day with a new role, as the event accelerates the traditional job application process by removing the need for CV screening.
Alasdair McClimont, Customer Manager at The Crown Estate, said: “Made in Central London is an exceptional opportunity for both job hunters and employers to connect in one space and accelerate the hiring process. Offering a face-to-face experience, previous events have been highly successful in landing roles and streamlining the job searching process.
“As one of the largest property owners in the West End, supporting our brands, businesses and communities is crucial to our role. ‘Made in Central London’ exemplifies our long-term vision and commitment to building on the heritage of the West End by playing our part in delivering a commercially resilient destination.”
Previous recruitment events hosted by The Crown Estate have facilitated 4,300 interviews, with 876 candidates progressing to second stage interviews across 142 different brands and businesses in the West End.
All candidates will be welcomed to the event, including those with health conditions, disabilities and accessibility needs. The event is open to anyone looking for full time or part time employment.
