New website launches for local recruitment in Scotland

JOBJOURNEYScotland.co.uk is the second in a network of UK regional recruitment websites to be launched by Totaljobs Group focusing on the needs of recruiters and jobseekers covering the whole of Scotland; from the Highlands and Islands to the Borders and South. The site covers all major industry sectors and job categories.

JOBJOURNEYScotland has been specifically built to deliver relevant and accurate results within locations as defined by the jobseeker, going beyond the more established keyword and category searching. As a result of this, the site is expected to attract a high number of potential candidates from day one.

The JOBJOURNEYScotland sales team, based in West George Street in Glasgow, is headed-up by John Craven, who has previously managed sales operations for Scottishjobs.com. A team of 5 account managers, with extensive experience within the Scottish recruitment market including S1jobs.com and Monster, will ensure recruiters benefit fully from the tools available on the site, allowing them ultimately to reduce their cost and time to hire.

The sales effort will be supported by wide reaching marketing campaigns designed to ensure the site has visibility on and offline across the country, including outdoor, , radio, and search engine marketing programmes. Such activity is designed to attract and retain high numbers of jobseekers from all locations, job categories and levels of experience.

Paul Stephens, website director for JOBJOURNEYScotland commented, ìWe have built the site specifically to satisfy the local needs of both jobseekers and recruiters in a simple and effective way. The site will provide an immediate and responsive medium to search for jobs and staff locally. Industry leading technology offers recruiters tools such as targeted emails to candidates, applicant management systems and automated responses. For those where speed of hire is paramount, vacancies can be posted on the site within hours of a booking, with applications following very shortly. Candidates have the flexibility to search not only by category, keyword, job type and employer but also by specific location, even down to postcode level. Weíre confident that no other recruitment advertising medium will provide such responsive and effective access to so many genuinely active local jobseekers.î
