November saw the successful launch of Jobsgopublicís new service to the public sector recruitment market.
The new platform builds on jobsgopublicís success as the leading e-recruitment provider to the Public Sector. Within weeks of launching it won the ëBest Specialist Online Recruitment Websiteí at the National Online Recruitment Awards 2004.
It has also seen a massive increase of 15,000 user registrations in the last three weeks of November. Thousands of jobseekers entered a profile into the new talent pool within days of the launch.
The success of Talent Pool threatens to turn public sector recruitment practices on their head.
Talent Pool is the first successful online database of candidate details available to the public sector. Local Authorities spend 100 millions with recruitment agencies annually. Talent Pool provides an opportunity for Public Sector recruiters to reduce their reliance on these businesses overnight.
The potential savings for local authorities are huge.
David Marshall, director of Jobsgopublic comments, These figures prove the potential of jobsgopublic and our growing importance in the field of public sector recruitment.
Last year Jobsgopublic had an ABCe audited user base of 120,000 active job seekers. This year the ABCe audited figure has grown to 206,000. Nearly double the 2003/2004 figures.
Jobseekers are voting with their feet. We expect to add another 150,000 to our user base in the next 12 months.
And Talent Pool has the potential to revolutionise the way that Local Authorities find people with the right skills.
Jobsgopublics new service platform a stunning success
