The Association of Personal Assistants (APA), the dynamic, new professional body for PAís EAís, VAís, Senior Secretaryís and Office Managers (PAís) in the UK has launched a premium job board (www.paprofessional.com/jobs) as part of its portfolio of services, which also includes, networking forums, professional qualifications, access to low cost business and personal products and services and the status and recognition that membership to a professional body provides.

APA has teamed up with Brainhunter to add a fully functional job board service for its members to provide them with access to real-time quality opportunities and employers to professionals that adhere to the strict APA Code of Professional Conduct.
The site offers recruitment firms and corporate employers the opportunity to post all their PA vacancies, and in time, access to the database of professional talent that will build.
Gareth Osborne, Director General of The Association of Personal Assistants and former Managing Director of The Recruitment and Employment Confederation, wanted a job board technology that provided an exceptional candidate experience to enhance and protect the relationship with APAís members; ìWe chose to partner with Brainhunter because they are specialists in supporting professional bodies and their technology includes two major features that others donít; namely matching applicant profiles to the job specification to create ìAî and ìBî matching lists for each opportunity and the highest level of personal identity security features availableî.
The APA job board will follow the quality not quantity philosophy of all Brainhunter powered job boards and will focus on benchmarking its performance by successful hires not by how many jobs it can attract.
Colin Minto, Managing Director, Recruiting Technology Solutions, Brainhunter commented: ìQuality recruiters and employers need their online talent advertising partners to take more responsibility over the quality and relevancy of candidates they provide. They want premium advertising positioning and do not want their job opportunities buried within a myriad of others of differing quality. In addition, job seekers want access to relevant and current opportunities and be safe in the knowledge that the release of their personal data is in their hands. The APA Job Board, operated in partnership with Brainhunter aims to deliver against these needs and has a proven track record by powering in excess of 100 CareerSiteís globallyî.
If you are a recruitment firm or corporate HR department looking to hire top PA talent, visit www.paprofessional.com/jobs. Advertising will be free of charge until 18th July 2008 and postings will stay on the site for 30 days. For more information or to place a vacancy visit www.paprofessional.com/jobs or call 0845 004 1717.
Gary Powell, Marketing and Press Manager, APA, said: ìWe really feel that the job board will be of great value to the Association of Personal Assistants community we have built up over the years. The partnership with Brainhunter has allowed us to create a fabulous career site capitalising on the unrivalled technology platform operated by themî.
