Online recruitment niche site goes from strength to strength

Following a successful 2008, CareersinAudit.com has had a flying start to the New Year by achieving 2nd place in the 2009 WEBlife Awards managed each year by PASS Magazine. The niche site fended off competition from several larger job boards such as eFinancial Careers, GaapWeb and Jobs Financial to reach the top of the league table of accountancy career sites, aimed at students and newly qualified jobseekers.

ëWe are extremely pleased to have moved up the rankings to second place this year and the fact that we have come in before some of larger sites is a real achievement for site. The GradsinAudit site was launched at the end of the summer last year and has gone from strength to strength putting our audit graduates and trainees in touch with the top graduate employers across the worldí says Simon Wright, marketing director at CareersinAudit.

CareersinAudit.com confirmed itself as the worldís leading audit job board and career resource for the audit community during 2008 with an impressive 500% increase in candidate applications, 300% increase in registered candidates and a 600% increase in visits from audit jobseekers. The ex-auditor team behind the site achieved the success by running a number of innovative marketing initiatives throughout the year. These included the launch of the very first Audit Facebook Forum, which attracted over 10,000 auditors in its first month online; the provision of free, unrivalled career advice for by an ex-Big4 HR Director as the siteís very own Audit Agony Aunt, and the provision of over 100 exclusive careers advice articles written and published on the site free of charge by the industryís top writers, assisting auditors of all levels with their careers and job hunting every step of the way.

The site has also recently been nominated for the 'Best Online Marketing Campaign Award' in the niche job board category at this year's Online Recruitment Awards.

ëAs a site 100% focused towards our candidates, we have excelled by finding new and exciting ways to connect with our audience. We have used the expertise of the industryís top advisors and journalists to provide an unrivalled career resource which is available to all. The jobs on the site are often not the main point of interest for our candidates but they keep coming back to the site to stay updated with news, survey results and articles so when they are job-hunting CareersinAudit.com is the first place they lookí Simon comments.

The candidate-focused approach has proved extremely successful for advertisers on CareersinAudit.com. Brendan Ward of the specialist audit recruiter Austin Andrew commented ëWe ran an international campaign to recruit for four Internal Auditors in Europe for a large International Company. After a limited response through online and paper advertising, we advertised these roles on CareersinAudit.com. This resulted in an excellent response and presented us with a number of suitable CVs. This was a rapid and successful process and resulted in Austin Andrew recruiting for all four positions.í

CareersinAudit.com continues to satisfy the audit community with the best audit jobs from top companies while finance recruiters continue to see an excellent return from advertising their roles on this specialist niche site.
