Fish4Jobs top Sales Manager moves to Friends Reunited Jobs

Friends Reunited Jobs has appointed Fish4Jobs executive Luke Collier as Head of Corporate Sales as the company beefs up its sales team.

Collier, 34, who brings with him 10 years experience in the industry working for advertising sales teams on the Scotsman newspaper and VNU Business Publishing, reports into Head of Friends Reunited Jobs Gail McLaughlan. He will be based in parent company ITVís London offices and will work alongside the broadcasterís digital sales team.

McLaughlan said: ìLukeís appointment marks an important step for the company as we begin to build the sales team necessary to challenge our rivals in this exciting but highly competitive market.î

Collier said: ìJobs Reunited has the potential to hold the UKís largest CV database as we begin to market to Friends Reunitedís 15 million members. The rich source of data provided in membersí profiles, such as their current work status and whether they are looking for new opportunities, will also provide a valuable insight for advertisers and a unique opportunity to accurately target large numbers of potential applicants.

ìIn addition there is the yet untapped link between the jobs site and Friends Reunitedís workplace search facility - where members can track down their old work colleagues ñ to exploit. There are already over three million people using this service, registered across 480,000 different workplaces.

ìThis service and others weíre developing will in time deliver an unequalled range of recruitment services enabling our clients to get more of the right applicants for less of their money.î
