The Dorset Echo in conjunction with We are Weymouth have created a recruitment advertising campaign to support Weymouth BID levy payers who are trying to attract new employees.

Tracy Hayden, Director of Advertising at the Dorset Echo, said: “Finding the right staff has been incredibly challenging for many businesses but the hospitality and tourism sectors have been some of the hardest hit.

"It is not just hospitality that has been impacted and this recruitment package aims to support all Weymouth BID levy payers at a time when they need it most."

The offer is completely free and exclusive to Weymouth BID levy payers and will include a mix of print and online advertising in the Dorset Echo worth more than £200.

A spokesman for We are Weymouth said: “We are delighted to support our levy payers by teaming up with the Dorset Echo to offer free recruitment advertising.

"As a businesses we work tirelessly to boost the local economy and recruitment is essential to support these businesses.”
