GLASGOW-based Pursuit Marketing has announced its creation of 75 jobs, citing a “surge” in demand for its services from the technology sector, writes Ian McConnell.
The telemarketing and digital marketing services business, which was founded six years ago, said about 30 of the new positions were English-speaking roles.
Pursuit Marketing, which currently employs more than 80 people, added that it was also seeking “bilingual and native speakers fluent in French, Spanish, Italian and key Nordic languages”.
The staff being recruited will work at Pursuit Marketing’s head office at Finnieston in Glasgow.
The company, which has focused on offering flexible working patterns for staff, said it was providing specialist telemarketing and digital marketing services to the “world’s largest IT and technology providers”.
Lorraine Gray, operations director at Pursuit Marketing, said: “We are extremely proud of our reputation within this market space, which has enabled us to expand significantly and create 75 new jobs. Our growth is a real testament to our highly motivated team and our commitment to achieving exceptional results.”
She added: “Over half of the jobs require bilingual skills, which is a great opportunity for modern languages graduates.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
