Yourretailjobs.com launches 16th January 2008

The start of a new year will see millions of people revaluate their lifestyle, promising to get fitter, eat more healthily, focus on their work, life balance and many will look for a new career. your jobs group is launching the first of its industry specific job board web sites on Wednesday 16th January in the form of your retail jobs, a job board dedicated to the retail sector. Having had a thorough walk through the site by Sales Director, Rachel Chadwick, formerly of mad.co.uk and Total Jobs, the development and look of the site is definitely up there with the more established job boards. Itís bright, clean, has lots of good ideas and functionality which will appeal to the employer and itís obvious a lot of thought has been put into the site from a usability perspective. There is a fantastic internal messaging tool, which enables employers to communicate directly with job seekers. The careers advice section is not overburdening with unnecessary information, but simply provides the job seeker with some key tips and helpful information to aid their job search. Also, each job posted on the site has the ability to encompass ìscreening questionsî to filter the application enabling the employer to save time by creating a set of qualifying criteria specific to that job. Additionally, and rather usefully, each employer can choose to receive a daily email with an update of their account statistics, which includes, applications per job through to details about employerís content on the site.

The question has to be asked, where did your jobs group come from? As from the look and feel of the site, and grandiose plans for the future, this definitely has the feel of a serious organisation with some serious plans. The answer provided by Rachel Chadwick is simple. A team of like minded on line media professionals were able to utilise their collective expertise in ìwhat works, what doesnít workî, and develop a job board concept which is bound to ruffle a few feathers across the on line industry.î From what there is to see of the site it is hard to disagree. The philosophy behind your jobs group and the interesting focus on industry specific job boards comes from a methodology that job seekers simply want to use a job board that specialises in their particular sector. For instance, take a retail manager looking for a new career, they are more likely to focus their attentions on a job board such as your retail jobs, rather that one which offers them a host of sectors that are just not relevant to their job search.

So whatís next in the pipeline for Your Jobs Group? The launch of your retail jobs is simply the first job board in what will be a series of industry specific job boards launched by the Group. The second of which, has been earmarked for launch around August 2008 and could be one of a number of planned sites which will focus around the your jobs brand.
