Despite gloomy predictions for 2009 in the recruitment sector and many of the industry’s main players struggling, the Simply Jobs Boards have recorded their best year to date.
Simply Jobs Boards, who operate 15 niche jobs sites including SimplySalesJobs.co.uk, SimplyMarketingJobs.co.uk and AviationJobSearch.com, posted a profit level 24% up Y-O-Y
Ian Partington, managing director of Simply Jobs Boards, said: “Whilst many in the industry were preparing for the worst, we decided to remain positive and take the challenge head-on.
“Instead of shrinking the business, we actually grew it, with the acquisition of three niche aviation jobs boards – AircraftEngineers.com, AircraftPilots.com and CabinCrew.com.
“Whilst results across all sites exceeded our expectations, we saw particular growth in the areas of Travel, Law, Sales and Marketing.”
According to the online research body Hitwise, all of the sites increased their market share against the competitor jobs boards.
Ian continued: “Off the back of this success we have this year been able to increase our sales and marketing teams to ensure we maintain growth and we have some exciting new technical developments in the pipeline that will further improve our offerings. We are also looking to acquire jobs boards that will complement our current portfolio, and there are plans in place to launch new job boards in late spring”
