Workhound, a London-based Web site that lists employment opportunities in Britain, announced that it has over 700,000 current job posts. By aggregating UK employee-wanted data, the site offers job seekers the ability to quickly find jobs sourced from job boards, job sites, and corporate Web sites. Individuals can then quickly filter the jobs by salary, location, industry, even by skills required to quickly find the best fit for their personal background. The site also provides real-time salary data so that individuals can quickly assess if a firm is offering competitive compensation.
According to Workhound CEO Howard Lee, With over 1,300 job sites in the UK, there is no shortage of online destinations for finding employment. In fact, it is this glut of job sources that creates an obstacle for job hunters by forcing them to search multiple sites. Our challenge is helping individuals find the right job, which we do through powerful contextual search, data mining, and aggregating tools in the hands of the job seeker in a single site. It’s really that simple.
Workhound wasn’t just built for the active job seeker but the passive seeker, as well. With real-time salary data and skills mapping tools, the site lets casual job browsers to quickly assess their value on the market. Lee says, it was important to us to provide tools for not only job seekers but job strivers. We also enable both passive and active seekers to engage with our product through Twitter, SMS, RSS, social networks, mobile Web, or even the desktop.
