Online recruitment company, Check4Jobs hits a quarter of a million unique applications

When Check4Jobs launched in March 2008, it was surprising that in that same month they managed to reach over 20,000 unique applications sent to their clients. What is more surprising still, is that by January 2009, nearly a year after its launch, Check4Jobs can boast a reported quarter of a million unique applications. This is over a 1000% increase from 2008, making Check4Jobs one of the fastest growing job aggregators in the UKís online recruitment market.

There may be a number of reasons for this increase, the main reason being the skill and talent of the Check4 Ltd group, bringing on board a wide selection of top recruitment job boards such as CV-Library, Reed and Monster. All of which provide 1000ís of new jobs for the site, making Check4Jobs a fantastic ëOne stop Shopí for UK job seekers. Job aggregators such as Check4Jobs provide an unparalleled service and therefore are fast becoming the top choice for job seekers. It is an aggregatorís job to search for the most up-to-date listings from major organisations job sites, as well as popular job boards. This saves the job seekers hours of searching and frustrating registrations on other websites.

It is of course necessary to point out that the current economic situation must have also had an impact on these figures. With unemployment hitting 2 million, the highest since 1997, it is not unexpected that the increased number of job seekers looking on the internet for jobs will have come across Check4Jobs and decided to use its services. This is includes their one of a kind iCV (Intelligent CV) service, being just one simple form, it is a super fast and secure CV registration and distribution service, only available to job boards and CV databases, making sure that employers looking to recruit, know what candidates are available.

When applicants enter their details and CV through iCV, it automatically registers and uploads all the necessary information to the job boardsí database, allowing the candidates to then be able to login to the site and apply for any relevant positions. For job seekers this is a free and easy service to help them get their CVs out into the job market, massively increasing their chances of getting a new job in a shorter time than usual. A foremost result of this service is that the candidates do not have to waste precious time registering on other sites, as iCV will do this for them.

Unlike the many CV distribution services that can be found on the web, iCV allows its candidates to be fully registered with the job boards that Check4Jobs work with such as CV-Library, Simply Jobs and Reed. This is the first time the UK online recruitment market, has offered this facility to candidates and job boards and has already proved successful to many that have used this service.
