Jobsite Partners Berkshire Media Group

New partnership increases candidate reach for recruiters

Jobsite (www.jobsite.co.uk) and successful regional newspaper organisation, Berkshire Media Group, today announce an exciting new partnership which increases candidate reach and market presence for both brands. The agreement enables cross posting of job vacancies between Jobsite and Berkshire Media Groupís key regional sites, bringing together the national and multi-sector strength of Jobsite with the local focus of the online newspaper brands.

Under the new partnership, jobs posted with the Bracknell News, Reading Chronicle and Windsor and Eton Express will also be available on Jobsite.co.uk and the extended Jobsite network, providing recruiters using these newspaper sites with access to a potential two million unique Jobsite network users and crucially, to sector specific jobhunters. Jobsite recruiters will also benefit, as their vacancies will automatically also be cross posted to these regional newspaper sites, increasing vacancy exposure to relevant local job hunters, enhancing reach and potentially the number of successful placements.

Jobsite replace the Berkshire Media Groupís current recruitment partner to power Jobsection.com, providing jobseekers on their sites with a quick and easy to use search function returning relevant vacancies. This new partnership also offers recruiters posting vacancies with the Berkshire regional newspapers access to sophisticated new CV matching technology which raises the profile of their jobs and helps to increase the number of quality applications received.

Commenting on the partnership, Eddie Embleton, Digital Commercial Manager for Clyde and Forth Press Ltd, owners of Berkshire Media Group, says: ìWeíre continually looking at ways to provide a better service to our clients and readers and our partnership with Jobsite is fundamental in us achieving this. Jobsite enables our websites to combine specialist recruitment functionality combined with the strength of our local newspaper brands.î

Jobsite Managing Director, Keith Potts, says: ìThe Berkshire Media Group has a loyal and impressive readership of over 450,000. We know that some jobhunters prefer to use a regional brand that they trust rather than a generalist site, as they feel that theyíre getting a more tailored offering. By partnering with the Berkshire Media Group we can reach these jobseekers which is essential in helping our recruiters fill their vacancies with the best candidates.î
