Yellow Cat & Pudsey Team Up!


Yellow Cat are pleased to announce that this year we are supporting Children In Need!
We are going to be raising funds in various different ways in the build up to the
big night on Friday 20th November.


One of the main ways we aim to make money is by getting everyone who registers with us over the next three weeks to guess how many yellow bonbons are in the jar below. It costs £2 to enter and whoever guesses correctly (or get's nearest!) win's the jar! If you are coming in to register soon remember your £2 - you wouldn't want to miss out!


Feel free to hazard a guess but remember, you've got to be in it to win it!

The New Yellow Cat Website!

Hello from the Yellow Cat! How are you all?

As you may have noticed, it’s been a long time since we last blogged. Why you ask? Have we been off playing with balls of wool? Have we been off scratching furniture? Have we been off chasing mice?

Well actually, the truth is that we have been extremely busy over the last couple of months; perhaps the busiest we’ve been since Yellow Cat was started by Jonny Breeze in 2005. After what was a very slow first half of 2009 we have seen the number of permanent and temporary roles we’ve been working on shoot right up.

In addition to this, there have been a number of changes made to the Yellow Cat Website which I would love to tell you about! Firstly, you may notice we have expanded the number of sectors we now work on. As Yellow Cat Recruitment has grown we have developed an extensive contact list and have worked on a number of roles within a variety of companies. Rather than pigeonhole ourselves to just Media & Creative, we wanted to show that we are confident and capable when working in a number of more specific areas such as Digital, IT and Sales.

You may have also noticed a number of small changes that we have made in order to help with the usability and navigation of the website. We have a Featured Jobs section on the homepage for people who are not able to spend a long time on our site, the jobs section has been redeveloped to make searching for your perfect role easier and we also have brand new photos of the team which you might enjoy seeing (no rude comments please!)

There are a lot of new images on the website and this is thanks to Adam who has been working very hard over the past few months. His design skills have come in very useful and he is now responsible for generating as much traffic to the new site as possible.

Finally, if you look at the bottom left hand corner of every page you will see a ‘Follow The Yellow Cat’ box. This links to the various social media sites we are using at the moment and this is an area that we are getting very interested in and will use a lot more in future. We love Twitter and Facebook and have already started using them regularly to update our followers and fans on up to the minute vacancies and news. We are also going to make sure we update the blog on a more regular basis. We are expecting news any minute on whether or not Om has won the Rising Star award and will be sure to post the results and photos here!

If you have an opinion, good or bad, on the new site please get in touch. We’d love to hear your feedback!
