CareerJunction, an online recruitment service, has teamed up with Tiscali UK and i2i Services to provide a job listing board for the United Kingdom market, making it one of the largest job boards in the UK.
“In this new offering, each player offers a critical service that melds into a package deal, targeting job seekers as well as job boards,” says Kris Jarzebowski, managing director of CareerJunction
Part of the innovation lies in aggregating multiple UK job boards onto one job search engine in a popular portal. Tiscali UK provides the portal and the community reach, i2i Services is a developer of e-recruitment solutions for companies and job boards, and CareerJunction provides the back-end job search and matching technology.
Tiscali UK, a popular UK portal, serves over 132-million pages per month according to Nielsen/Netratings. The job search, at www.tiscalijobsearch.co.uk, offers the community a wider variety of jobs from a number of jobs boards. Jobs sent by job boards are checked and filtered for quality, duplication and errors. The result is high quality content which is easily and quickly searched by job seekers.
The search results then list a précis of each job found. “Only when the job précis is clicked by the job seeker is the full job ad displayed -‒ and that’s when the revenue model kicks in,” explains Jarzebowski.
“Each job board only pays for each click that the job seeker makes. Essentially, this is the most qualified pay-per-job advertised business model in the UK market.”
The trio have now signed a 12-month agreement to roll out the service to other participants. The trial participants -‒ JobSite.uk and JustGroup.net -‒ and newcomers, TotalJobs.uk, Workthing.uk & Caterers.com — have continued with the venture. Currently there are over 80 000 jobs aggregated onto this job board, making it one of the biggest job boards in the UK.
