Jobsite today announces that the number of live searchable CVs on the site has exceeded 340,000, growing by 28% over the last six months. The growth increases the number of active candidates across key sectors to give Jobsite recruiters greater access to quality candidates.
The growth is part of a focused Jobsite strategy to increase the number of searchable CVs on itís site through a combination of organic growth and leveraging the benefits of Jobsiteís own growing niche distribution network. The launch of four new niches in the last six months: PurelyIT, MyAccountancyJobs, SeniorSalesJobs and EngineerBoard, alongside new cross posting arrangements with the niche site LondonJobs have all helped to drive the increase in searchable CVs.
Signficant new investments in Jobsite search and matching technology, as well as the introduction of highly successful candidate feedback mechanism RecruitRank, have contributed to the organic growth, increasing job seeker control and trust and encouraging existing job hunters to upload their CVs. In addition, Jobsiteís continuing candidate attraction activities and recent CV campaign have also delivered to this increase.
Commenting on the new figures, Keith Potts, CEO for Jobsite says: ìWe are delighted to reach the 340,000 live CV threshold. If there is a vacancy to be filled, the perfect candiate needs to be in place yesterday. By increasing the number of searchable CVs we can provide our recruiters with greater responsiveness to their own clientsí needs.ì
He continues; ìWe understand the importance of searchable CVs to recruiters as it provides them with increased control over their recruitment process. A searchable CV database provides recruiters with access to active candidates genuinely committed to finding the right job. This can be used either alone or in conjunction with other supporting recruitment activity.î
The latest figures support Jobsiteís growth strategy of combining the powerful appeal of the generalist Jobsite brand with the industry specific attraction of niche sites.
Further evidence of Jobsiteís growth is the figure released by parent company DMGT last week, revealing that the fastest growing part of its ad revenues were online - up 141% year on year. Jobsite is part of DMGTís successful online portfolio which also includes property and dating websites.
