Yourfoodjob.com, one of the UK’s leading job boards for the food industry, has had a makeover! This isn’t just a new design though; (although it looks great) it has also completely upgraded its platform.
General Manager, Tony Allen said: ‘We originally launched in 2006 and over the years have grown from a standing start to regularly attracting over 40,000 visits each month by food professionals. However, after 5 years of successful trading, we felt that the time had finally come to give the site an overhaul. Working with our partners Madgex and agreeing to move on to their top platform “version 3”, every element of the site has been upgraded; from the logo and look of the site itself, to the whole back office set up. We now have a mobile enabled version and are fully integrated into all the major social media networks. Ultimately, this means more visitors, even better SEO and many new ways to reach and identify senior food professionals. In other words; a totally fresh and improved customer experience for candidates and clients alike!’
This investment is the end of what has been the best year to date for Yourfoodjob.com. The site itself is attracting 10,000 more visitors each month than this time last year and its working with double the amount of clients. Plus in the last 12 months it has moved into larger offices and nearly trebled its head count. On top of this, it was also nominated for its first ever accolade; “Best Niche Job Board”, at this years prestigious Onrec (Online Recruitment) awards. All in all, it’s been a fantastic year and growth is expected to continue at this level in the year ahead.
Yourfoodjob.com, whose mantra is ‘food jobs for food people’, is a specialist recruitment website and regularly attracts over 40,000 visitors by food professionals each month. These could be recent graduates or seasoned directors but each is looking for their next job in the food industry. Success has mainly been for senior technical, production, new product development, engineering and commercial roles but this is expanding into other food-business areas as its reputation grows. Over 700 jobs (UK & International) are advertised onsite at any one time and many of these on behalf of some of the world’s biggest food companies.
Tony concluded: “The upgrade is already paying dividends, for example, the rate of new visitor registrations per day has increased from 5 to 55, which is phenomenal. We’re fortunate that companies of all sizes including giants such as PepsiCo, Nestle and Kerry Foods use our online recruiter solutions to help source top-food-talent directly, reducing both the time and cost to hire. These solutions, combined with our continued commitment to service excellence and good old fashioned hard work, has enabled us to become one of the leading food specific job boards in the country in a very short space of time and the new site will only escalate this further.’ www.yourfoodjob.com
