Celebrating another successful year!

Securing another year under their belt, keeps simplylawjobs.com firmly in the top legal job-websites. 26th April 2004, this UK based job-board, launched against some tough competition. Some said ëyou will never surviveí, others commented that the legal job board space ëneeded the competitioní and welcomed its presence. Whatever opinions at the time, now with over 90,000 jobs posted on the website during the last few years and with a consistent 12,000 jobs available for candidates to apply for at any one time, this board is firmly in the minds of legal professionals and recruiters.

ìIt is strange to look back at the days of working 24/7 from my bedroom in the first year completely on my own, battling against very strong odds of failingî says Michelle, Managing Director of simplylawjobs.com reflecting on the last 3 years. She is fully aware of the failure rate of job-boards, ìpeople think it is an easy money-maker, a simple thing to create and maintain ñ it is far from this. You need to be in it for the long-term and be prepared to invest all your revenue (and more) in the first 5 years of business.î

Now operating from serviced offices in the South West, with 2 other full-time members of staff supporting the website and its clientís needs, she is proud of what has been achieved. ìWe still have a very long way to go and are continually improving the site and seeking new ways of attracting candidates to our client adverts.î

As the traditional 3rd year anniversary gift is leather ñ she has one simple message ìWe are durable, long-lasting and versatile. We plan on cracking the whip in the market over the coming years.î
