Technojobs.co.uk wins prestigious Online Marketing Award

The UKís No.1 IT and Technical recruitment site ñ Technojobs.co.uk, is proud to announce winning the prestigious Innovative Online Marketing Award at the UK Online Recruitment Awards 2008.

Technojobs won the award for Innovative Online Marketing in the specialist jobsite category, sponsored by The Hotonline Network.

There are thousands of specialist jobsites in the UK, especially in IT, so why did Technojobs win the award?

The prize was awarded to Technojobs for their marketing creativity and differentiation in a highly competitive marketplace. Technojobs relaunched early 2007 and part of this relaunch was to create a memorable, professional and unique jobsite that is highly targeted to quality candidates. This included a major website redesign and a new high impact advertising campaign. Additionally Technojobs undertook high profile Motor Racing sponsorship, which was fully integrated with associated online marketing activity.

This marketing strategy has been fundamental in establishing the brand as one of the top specialist and quality jobsites in the UK.

Alongside extensive search engine optimisation, the visibility and awareness of Technojobs amongst relevant candidates is now extremely high.

Technojobs were showcased amongst other winners at the Online Recruitment Awards including Monster, Guardianjobs, Barclays Capital, Tesco and Marks and Spencer.

Head of Sales and Marketing Anthony Sherick said, ìWe are delighted and honoured to have won this online marketing award. The market we operate in is extremely competitive and characterised by firmly established brands, so we know that we needed to be different yet at the same time highly credible.

îSince it re-launch in 2007, Technojobs has been continually experiencing record numbers of traffic, job postings and applications. February 2008 was another record month for us; visits are up over 400% year on year and we have 10,000 jobs live on the site. More importantly we are delivering quality candidates to our wide range of customersî.
