Live Long and Prosper: Applicants Queue Up In London’s Financial District To Apply For The Best Job In The Universe

RECRUITMENT DRIVE HOSTED BY MANPOWER UK IN ASSOCIATION WITH PARAMOUNT HOME MEDIA DISTRIBUTION

This morning at zero seven hundred hours (07:00AM), a temporary Starfleet Outpost popped-up at leading recruitment agency Manpower UK’s Liverpool Street based offices. Trekkers from around the country queued up to apply for a once in a light year role as Starfleet Vice-Admiral*.

Over 200 ambitious commanders looking to make their mark on the fringes of known space registered their interest to take part in the recruitment process and complete the ultimate Star Trek test.

The test, designed by die hard Star Trek fan and Empire Online editor-in-chief, James Dyer, determined if candidates had what it took to run a state-of-the-art Starbase and included questions like, ‘Under Captain Kirk, who served as the Enterprise’s chief medical officer?’ The test was administered by Manpower’s team of recruiters.

The candidate who scores most highly and proves themselves able to take command of Starbase Yorktown, will receive an official uniform recently used in the production of Star Trek Beyond and a VIP visit to Paramount Studio Lot in Los Angeles.

“We were delighted to work with Starfleet HQ to recruit the honorary role of Vice Admiral of Yorktown. We work with many different businesses across varying sectors, but this was the first time we have partnered with an intergalactic organisation! Manpower is proud of the full spectrum of workforce solutions we offer our clients to address the complex recruitment challenges that exist today. This includes our ability to identify and place the best talent within organisations. Our project with Starfleet HQ was no exception - we’ve set a challenging interview process for the Vice Admiral of Yorktown and are looking forward to seeing the result.” – Krissie Davies, Operations Director, Manpower UK

The winner will be announced on Monday 21st November
