Online recruitment is now the norm for switched on job hunters

A recent survey by the IRS Employment Review has revealed that online recruitment is now the norm for two-thirds of organisations.

According to the survey, in the past year online recruitment methods have gained credibility and are more popular than ever with the ever-increasing number of University graduates.

Submitting a CV online is now the most popular method off applying for a job, and is used by two-thirds of employers. Only 40% of companies are using the traditional paper application form.

The success of the Weybridge-based, award-winning online job board, ClickAJob.co.uk reflects this trend.

Yngve Traberg, ClickAJob CEO, said: ìMore and more people now have access to the Internet anywhere and at any time. This makes job-hunting a 24/7 business. People can find a suitable job online and then apply for it there and then.

ìOnline job boards have dealt effectively with a lot of issues involved in using agencies or classified advertising. You no longer have to wait for the newspaper to come out on a certain day of the week as, via ClickAJob you can find out the latest vacancies across the UK and it is very cost effective.î

Not only can people search for jobs across 195 of the UKís top job portals using ClickAJob, but companies can create an online window profiling their business without the costs of having to pay for expensive web designers.

Companies can then be seen by thousands of web-users (ClickAJob now receives 15,000 new users daily). Each of these can read about your company, access your vacancies and get a complete overview on what you have to offer potential employees, without having to launch your own site. If you already have a website, ClickAJob drives traffic to it without additional costs.
