Trade magazine Media Week emailed me to complete one of those online surveys, the results of which are obviously going to form the basis of a future article.
At the end of the survey it explained that I’d be entered into a free prize draw to win a holiday which was partly sponsored by Formula Won. Who are they I wondered? So I clicked on their website and discoverd that they’re a media recruitment company. On their homepage it says “Click to enter”, but when you click it launches into a massive Flash splash pop-up along with music.
Can I humbly suggest to all recruitment companies that they don’t use loud music and flash graphics on their websites. Sounds and moving images are not the most subtle of things, and an employee idly surfing in the workplace for a new job probably doesn’t want attention drawn to their activity.
