Telegraph Media Group (TMG) is relaunching its recruitment website following a dramatic growth in users and application rates.

The site has almost 800,000 unique users according to ABCe and application rates have increased by 250% since January 2008.

Despite the difficult jobs market, TMG is committed to providing its readers with the best opportunities in the market place. The new-look Telegraphjobs will serve as a career portal in addition to linking jobseekers to quality jobs.

The site will feature expert advice from James Caan, Duncan Bannatyne and John Timpson, tools such as interview training and CV tips, as well as relevant industry sector news. The redesign means an improved and simplified functionality for both jobseekers and recruiters, and more targeted products for employers. There will also be sector specific forums for user interaction as well as daily Business Bullet programmes from Telegraph TV.

Telegraphjobs covers core recruitment sectors including engineering, sales, manufacturing, construction, executive, energy, public sector and education. Each sector has its own dedicated page within Telegraphjobs.

In attracting a wide audience of jobseekers the site has managed to grow it's CV database, which launched at the beginning of 2008, to over 110,000 candidates.

Telegraphjobs will be closely integrated with the main Telegraph website. Jobs Widgets will be embedded into Telegraph.co.uk to provide users with jobs relevant to the content they are reading. For example, when a user reads a story about construction and property news on Telegraph.co.uk's Business channel, there will be a range of specific industry related jobs embedded in the page.

Nigel Leigh, Digital Manager, Classified, TMG, said: "The online recruitment industry is evolving with new technologies such as video and social media tools. The new-look Telegraphjobs encompasses some of these new technologies and is the foundation of turning our job site into a career portal."

Anne-Marie Worden, Head of Recruitment, TMG, said: "We are investing in the recruitment market with this new website. Its fresh look and personalised functionality means that it should attract even more job hunters and provide our advertisers with the best return on investment in the industry."
