CityJobs.com, one of the online job boards for Londonís square mile, today launches the re-design of its website (www.cityjobs.com). The new design incorporates both aesthetic and functional changes which aim to make searching, applying and recruiting for jobs in London a quicker, easier and more user friendly experience.

CityJobs has found that jobseekers are responding to expectations of a healthy year in the financial services industry, with 70% of registered candidates looking for a role in Banking and Finance specifically. Interestingly, there is a higher split of female candidates suggesting a balk in the traditional gender appeal of the City. Recognising that 39% of jobseekers are aged between 25 and 34, the new CityJobs website reflects their needs and aspirations with a modernised look and feel. With superior search techniques, the site is aiming to support this expected growth and provide a higher quality service to clients and candidates.

The improved technology on the new CityJobs.com website means a rapid, simple and easy to use search tool for jobseekers, providing targeted results. Candidates are able to browse within their own area of expertise and view jobs that are accurate and relevant to their career choice. This automated approach will ensure a better response rate from the right type of candidates and ensure superior quantity and quality.

A new feature on the site is Career Kit. CityJobs has teamed up with industry and recruitment experts to produce guidance on a range of issues which jobseekers face when searching for a new job. The Career Kit offers career advice on topics such as CV writing and legal and contracting advice enabling a self-service approach to professional tips and advice.

Vincent Keay, Marketing Manager at CityJobs comments, ì2007 looks to be an extremely buoyant market year for the City and Financial Services in particular. It is exciting to see the changing demographics of those looking to capitalise on the opportunities this growth provides. With the launch of the new-look website, CityJobs is committed to providing a tailored service that is supportive through every stage of the job searching and hiring process.î
