Top Jobs on the Net has announced the opening of its new Scottish office in Glasgow. The move comes at a time when many dotcom companies are reducing staff and operations.
Laying off staff or even going out of business follows a record-breaking month for Top Jobs on the Net for both revenue and site visits.
The Scottish operation will be headed up by field sales manager Derek Jenkins, who recently joined the company from Trinity Mirror. Working alongside him will be sales executive David Ralston, formerly at Thomson Directories. Further appointments will be announced shortly.
The opening of a dedicated office follows increasing levels of activity for Top Jobs on the Net across Scotland from jobseekers and employers alike. Don McIntosh, general manager of Top Jobs on the Net explains: ìWhilst Scotland has always been an active market for Top Jobs on the Net, the growing number of local employers signing up to our services from Inverness Medical to McGrigor Donald to Royal Sun Alliance, convinced us that now is the right time to invest in a dedicated team that understands the requirements of this growing market.î
Don continues: ìScotlandís strong financial and information technology sectors are playing host to an increasingly large professional and technical employment market which Top Jobs on the Net is ideally placed to help develop and resource - whether enticing new employees from other parts of the UK or resourcing at a local level.î
The Top Jobs on the Net website (www.topjobs.co.uk/scotland) now has a dedicated Scottish site (www.topjobs.co.uk/scotland) for jobseekers and clients ensuring that job hunting is a carefully targeted process. Clients so far include Inverness Medical, Royal & Sun Alliance and the Weir Process Group.
The opening of Top Jobs on the Net office in Scotland builds upon the companyís successful acquisition earlier in the year by Scout 24, a Swiss provider of business services through online market places. The leading European online business services marketplace.
