Barzone.co.uk Powers New ThePublican.com Job-Board

Barzone.co.uk has formed a partnership with The Publican

Following its successful launch last year, barzone.co.uk, the UKís premier pub and bar job-board, has formed a partnership with The Publican, to power their new job-board launching on thePublican.com in March 2007. This powerful collaboration will enable thePublican.com to offer the largest and most dedicated on-line resource for licensed retail jobs in the UK, reaching over 150,000 unique and targeted jobseekers every month.

Barzone.co.uk was launched in April 2006 with 1,000 jobs and the backing of the BII, the professional body for the licensed retail sector. Since then, thanks to tactical marketing and high-profile PR campaigns gaining coverage in major national newspapers, it has grown considerably, attracting jobs from high profile pub groups including J D Wetherspoons.

ThePublican.com aims to dramatically increase job offerings, initially attracting new pub and bar groups with a free six-week trial. Small regional chains as well as large pub groups like Laurel and Spirit Group will be welcomed on-board to make this one of the most successful niche job boards accessible to job seekers and employers alike.

The trial offer will be backed-up with a punchy promotional campaign beginning late January. This will include promotions in both The Publican newspaper and thePublican.com and via Barzone.comís ongoing search engine optimisation in tandem with pay-per-click rankings. The on-going drive to secure national press stories will serve to underpin the promotional plan and highlight the vast career opportunities on offer in the pub and bar industry.

James Brotherhood, New Media Manager at Barzone.co.uk comments, ìWe are proud to be able to deliver vocational applications for our clients. The large job boards may have volume in terms of applicants and jobs, but niche job boards like thePublican.com recognise a specific vocation and carry quality applicants with relevant experience and dedication to a specific sector.î
