Growing number of jobseekers only rely on the internet28/01/2008 10:16:00In a snapshot of the UK’s 13 million online jobseekers, the National Online Recruitment Audience Survey reveals thousands of people have stopped using other ways to find a job and are solely relying on the web. Tim Elkington, managing director of Enhance Media which produces NORAS -now in its seventh year - said: “This comprehensive survey shows that for an increasing number of jobseekers, the internet is providing everything they need to find a new job. The results also show that more people are getting jobs and jobseekers are far more directed about where to look. Five years ago they would have looked at seven websites to find work, now they look at four.” The survey shows: · 76 per cent have applied for a job they found online · 69 per cent got an interview · 65 per cent got a job · average online jobseeker is aged 35 · has a salary of £31,000 · uses four recruitment websites to search for work.
