Milkround’s success continues to grow as more than 260,000 graduates and students visited www.milkround.com in November 2011 – around 14,000 daily – in figures just confirmed for one of the leading graduate recruitment websites.

In its annual November ABC audit, visits to Milkround increased by 107,027 on the same period in 2010. Page impressions were up by more than 669,304 to 2,759,775.
 

The figures cap off a successful 2011 for Milkround which included a new applicant tracking system and the launch of Milkround Recruiters Direct, a self-service portal that enables recruiters to post their jobs straight to the website.

The figures independently verify Milkround’s traffic figures to industry agreed standards as set by JICWEBS*.
