JobsGroup.net Helps Recruiters Find Candidates First

JobsGroup.netô, the UKís award-winning online recruitment network, has today announced a renewed commitment to helping recruiters be the first to find candidates to fill their vacancies.

Since launching in 2000 JobsGroup.net has aimed to address the single biggest issue facing UK recruiters ñ the skills shortage ñ which is making the employment market more competitive than ever before. A staggering 82% of UK businesses report recruitment difficulties, with 68% blaming the skills shortage, according to the CIPD.

ìIn recruitment the first company to make contact with a candidate is usually the one to make the placement. The difference between success and failure can be measured in minutes,î explains Mark Hepworth, JobsGroup.net Managing Director. ìJobsGroup.net services are built to ensure our clients have the resources and tools they need to be first to identity, contact and place relevant candidates.î

JobsGroup.net operates ten niche UK jobsites, including market leaders JustEngineers.net and JustConstruction.net, attracting over 380,000 unique visitors a month and with over 180,000 registered CVs. Niche sites enable recruiters to post jobs to a targeted audience and to search a relevant database of candidates.

The ten niche sites all feature innovative tools to help recruiters identify suitable candidates and filter out irrelevant applicants, including CV Monitor, which alerts recruiters to when a relevant candidate has registered on the site; Look Whoís Looking, which enables recruiters to see and contact jobseekers interested in their vacancies; and Killer Questions, which provides recruiters with the opportunity to include a suitability test with the application.

JobsGroup.net also launched Artificial Intelligence Matching (AIM), a highly advanced CV database search tool that understands the context in which information appears. AIM enables recruiters to accurately rank candidates against job descriptions; quickly benchmark and clone existing CVs; and instantly view candidateís vital statistics.

AIM won Best Technical Innovation at the Onrec Awards 2007 and is currently nominated for the Orange Best Use of Technology in Business Award. JobsGroup.net has previously won Best Online Service and Best Specialist Website.

ìWe offer recruiters a huge volume of targeted traffic, a high quality CV database, and the best available recruitment tools. This rare combination of reach, relevancy and innovation means our clients can find and place candidates before their competitors. Project Placement is designed to bring all these exciting elements together to provide our clients with an outstanding return on their investment,î adds Mark Hepworth.
