YorkshireJobs.net celebrates 1st Yearís Success

A Yorkshire based job site is celebrating its 1st birthday this week after a highly successful first year in business. www.yorkshirejobs.net launched exactly a year ago, after identifying a niche in the market. The online job site is the only one of its kind dedicated to the entire Yorkshire region, covering every major city and town in the county. The website provides job seekers with a regional job search facility which produces more refined results when comparing it to national job sites.

In its first year of business www.yorkshirejobs.net has attracted over 300 advertisers with clients including Marks and Spencer, the Royal Bank of Scotland and BT to name just a few. The website has featured over 15,000 jobs in the past twelve months and celebrated a record month this January with over 35,000 unique visitors (4.5 million hits).

www.yorkshirejobs.net features job alerts, a comprehensive CV database, information and advice for jobseekers and narrows down your search by matching local employers with local job seekers. It provides an efficient, easy-to-use recruitment tool for companies wishing to advertise their vacancies online. Debbie A. Bissett, Director of Invigorate Recruitment in Leeds said:

ëAfter the usual sceptical approach to advertising on an online job site, I am delighted to say that our fears were completely unfounded. YorkshireJobs.net definitely has an edge that the larger sites donít have and itís refreshing to know that we have a site that focuses on the Yorkshire area.í

The launch of www.yorkshirejobs.net has been so successful that the owners have begun ìrolling outî the concept across every county in the UK. In the last twelve months a further five regional job sites have been successfully launched across the UK, with another two sites being added in the next two weeks.

31-year-old entrepreneur, James Squires of Doncaster, who founded Yorkshire Jobs Ltd., said:

ëThe success of our first year in business has exceeded all my expectations, we have definitely filled a gap in the market, proving that there is great demand for a job site dedicated to the Yorkshire region. We are now aiming to expand our network to cover every major county in the UK within the next two years.í
