Morecambe-based JobsGroup.net has won The Orange Best Use of Technology in Business Award in the 2007 National Business Awards North West of England regional finals. Presented with the accolade tonight at a glittering ceremony and gala dinner at Manchester’s Palace Hotel the company beat off stiff competition from Ashtead Plant Hire Company (A-Plant), Comtech Holdings and Neales Waste Management. It now advances to the November finals of The National Business Awards.
JobsGroup.net operates ten niche UK jobsites, attracting 420,000 unique visitors every month including JustEngineers.net and JustConstruction.net (the most popular engineering and construction jobsites). JobsGroup.net also operates an engineering jobsite in Australia, and publishes a monthly newspaper with a 40,000 circulation, Just Technical Jobs.
The National Business Awards, sponsored by Orange, recognises and rewards excellence, innovation and success. Uniquely open to organisations of all sizes and from any industry sector - public or private - the best of British businesses are able to showcase their achievements and benchmark their successes against firms and bodies of all types.
Choosing San Diego-based Burning Glass Technology as its technology partner, the firm’s in-house team worked with them to develop and test a new technology - Artificial Intelligence Matching (AIM). Launched in November 2006, it has enabled JobsGroup.net to better cater for the needs of employers and the 9.5million people looking for work online. With sales up by 115 per cent and placements up by 22 per cent, JobGroup.net’s market share has increased to an enviable 2.4 per cent.
Suzy Edward, partner director Orange Business Services said, Jobsgroup.net has used technology to create a significant advantage for its business. We are proud to be associated with such successful British talent and congratulate the company on achieving this fantastic accolade.
