01/09/2008
JOBJOURNEYNorthWest.co.uk celebrated its 1st birthday last week.
Passing some great milestones over the last year, not only are they still the number one recruitment website in the North West with 30% market share but their jobseeker traffic continues to grow month on month.
Given the current economic climate and being the holiday season, July is usually a slow month for jobseeker traffic but JOBJOURNEYNorthWest.co.uk bucked the trend generating over 32,000 applications, 80,389 job seekers visiting the site and over 118,000 visits.
July also saw a 13% increase in the amount of jobseekers signing up for Jobs by Email alerts, with over 26,000 now on the database. In addition, the CV database grew by 14% to 11,228 CV’s; this is excellent news for recruiters as it shows jobs are well matched to job seekers.
Jumoke Oyadare, JOBJOURNEY Group Marketing Manager said ‘It’s been a great year for JOBJOURNEY, we’ve gone from being the new job board in the region to one that is challenging traditional forms of recruiting and leading the way. But we’re not resting on our laurels – the market is changing on a daily basis and there’s a lot going on behind the scenes to ensure that we stay at the top. The next year ahead will therefore present as many challenges as this one, but will be exciting nevertheless.’
