Totaljobs.com, and seek.com.au, Australia and New Zealand''s No1 job board, have formed a strategic partnership that enables UK employers and recruiters easy and cost-effective access to a large pool of Australian and New Zealand jobseekers looking for work in the UK.
SEEK gives advertisers unparalleled access to candidates in this region with 745,318 unique users per month (September 2002). Over 60% of Australian job seekers who visited an internet employment site in September visited SEEK.
An increasing number of these candidates come to the UK on working holidays and many more come on other types of visas. Common language and education systems make it very easy to utilize skills in the UK and surveys suggest UK
employers.
To capture this growing market, SEEK operates a dedicated zone - SEEK UK (http://www.seek.com.au/if.asp?loc=ukjobs). The online recruitment partnership will offer totaljobs.com''s clients the ability to post jobs and
drive brand awareness on SEEK UK, a zone now driving over 2000 applications per month to UK recruiters from candidates before they before they leave home.
Jobseekers from Australia / NZ are generally looking to move over to the UK within a 1 year period; popular work categories include: financial, teaching, nursing, healthcare, accounting, hospitality construction, and
legal services.
