This sounds like an excellent and interesting opportunity. However, I believe the starting salary you are offering for the skills that are required is fairly low!

Though I do hope you find someone.

All the best Adam
 
Hi Vicdigi,

Thanks for your comment. There is ample opportunity to progress within Greenlight but to begin with the starting salary is in line with many graduate/first job opportunities in London and, if you re-read the post, you'll see I don't actually require any skills beyond the ability to communicate well.

Besides additional benefits not covered by salary, the salary also reflects the fact that the successful candidate will receive 3 months dedicated SEO training with one of the leading SEO agencies in the UK, representing a significant investment in the person and being something which, to paraphrase a Barclays ad, is priceless.



Kind regards,
Adam
 
Hi Dilpreet,

If you are resident in and can legally work in the UK then of course - drop me a PM or go to the Greenlight site for application details.

If not I'm afraid the timescales and role in question means Greenlight can't sponsor you in this case.
 
Very nice offer, however I am a swedish resident and not planning to move to UK any time soon, but I think this is a great opportunity for UK residents.

I am interested but sadly I do not live near London. I'm from Scotland; is there any way I could get something similar through work online? Much appreciated.
 
I'm afraid not Steven.

This seems to have caused some confusion, so to make it clear, this is an on-location role in central London for UK residents eligible to work in the UK. Telecommuting is not an option for this position.
 
Apologies for the double post but I've received a number of PM's from individuals interested in the position that I am unable to reply to due to having a low post count. If this were my personal account I would happily post on the forum to take me past the 10 post limit, but this being the Greenlight account I'm afraid that's not possible.

Can I therefore ask that anyone looking to apply or wanting more information either drop me an email at:

adam [AT] greenlightsearch [DOT] com

...or include your email address in your PM so I can get back to you.

Much appreciated.
