JobsGroup.net Triumph at EIQA Awards with W-Mark Win

JobsGroup.net, the award-winning network of niche online recruitment websites, received a special commendation at the EIQA Awards in Dublin on Thursday 13th October 2005. The W-Mark global certification programme, developed by EIQA and accredited by the e-Commerce Standards Board, evaluates and audits websites to internationally recognised standards. JobsGroup.net is the first company operating across the UK to be awarded the W-Mark.



JobsGroup.net sites, which include JustEngineers.net, JustRail.net and JustSalesandMarketing.net, were subjected to over 100 tests designed to identity quality and excellence in areas as diverse as accessibility; privacy and data protection; security; and customer services.

Mark Hepworth, Managing Director of JobsGroup.net, comments, ìWe are delighted to have been recognised by the EIQA for our online achievements. The W-Mark is a badge of quality we will wear with pride, and a standard we believe all online recruitment sites should aim for. We are committed to raising the bar for best practice across all aspects of business, as shown by our support of the Online Recruitment Marketing Council, the auditing of our sites by ABCe, and by two NORA award wins.î

Craig Bines, Sales and Marketing Manager, comments, ìDuring the last six months we have experienced a 120 per cent increase in the number of jobseekers to our sites and a 60 per cent increase in the number of clients. This award comes at an especially apt time for us as it underlines our online success just as we are about to launch our first offline venture, a specialist publication aimed at jobseekers called Just Technical Jobs.î

Just Technical Jobs will be launched in November 2005 and will provide employees and contractors within the technical sector ñ specifically engineering, rail and construction ñ with access to the latest relevant jobs in the UK each month. More details about Just Technical Jobs will be announced shortly.

JobsGroup.net operates niche sites for the engineering, rail, construction, utilities, aviation, defence, sales and marketing, finance, executive and graduate sectors.
