CWJobs.co.uk Implements RSS Real-Time Job Alert Service for IT Contractors

IT contractors can now keep abreast of the escalating number of new job postings in the thriving IT market using a job alert service from CWJobs.co.uk which provides details of vacancies to jobseekers in real-time. By implementing RSS (Really Simple Syndication), which is quicker than both email and text alerts, CWJobs is able to deliver contracts to contractors faster than any other IT online recruitment site in the UK.

CWJobs.co.uk was the first IT job board to launch RSS on the 29th April 2004. Jobseekers using CWJobs.co.uk have been testing it since this launch with great success. It has proved very popular especially among IT contractors where time is of the essence: ìRSS is an excellent way to ensure youíre getting the latest contracts delivered to you first. Signing up to CWJobsí service has meant Iíve secured contracts before other contractors even heard about them,î commented Mr Redden IT contractor.

To receive relevant jobs in real-time, IT contractors can simply download an RSS reader free from the Web, create job searches on CWJobs.co.uk and then leave the programme running in the background of their PC. Contractors can choose to have updates as frequently as they like, and when new jobs become available alerts will pop up in the corner of their computer screens.

In the competitive IT contract market, up-to-date and relevant vacancy information is crucial for contractors wanting to beat other applicants to new contracts, commented Richard Nott, sales director at CWJobs. CWJobs is always looking at ways to provide relevant contracts to contractors more quickly and efficiently and RSS can now give CWJobs contractors a competitive edge over other jobseekers.

RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites. IT jobseekers using CWJobs can have updates via RSS as frequently as they like. The RSS reader will build up information and store it for a period, before deleting old jobs automatically. It provides jobs quickly and efficiently to contractors without cluttering their email inboxes, allowing them to dip in and out as they see fit.
