Targeting
Niche Sites Attract Niche Candidates. JobsGroup.net sites serve specific industry
sectors, so recruiters reach a highly targeted pool of active jobseekers and jobseekers
access only relevant vacancies. JobsGroup.net provides a greater chance of finding
candidates with sought-after skills for hard-to-fill vacancies than would be possible
through either generalist job boards or traditional print media. JobsGroup.net is
ranked Number One for Placements in the Onrec Top 100 2007.

JobsGroup.net is committed to providing a consistent quality service. This commitment
is underpinned by the W-Mark Website Quality Accreditation which covers our use
of technology, including accessibility; privacy and data protection; consistency
and appearance; security; navigation; and customer services. JobsGroup.net has the
following key accreditations:
- ABC ELECTRONIC certified
- Online Recruitment Marketing Council (ORMC) Membership
- Utilities Vendor Database (UVDB) Accreditation

Value
JobsGroup.net products and services are priced to enable clients to achieve an outstanding
return on their investment. Often just one candidate placement will pay for itself.
As a result client retention rates stand at 70% � far higher than the industry average.
Innovation
JobsGroup.net has been committed to innovation from its inception. This was recently
underpinned by a substantial investment in a unique tool branded Artificial Technology
Matching (AIM) to improve the functionality of the sites for both recruiters and
jobseekers, which was launched in November 2006 after twelve months of research
and development. AIM enables our clients to find candidates for their vacancies
before their competitors, vital at a time when there is a serious skills shortage
in many sectors. AIM won Best Technical Innovation at the Onrec Awards 2007 and
is currently nominated for the Orange Best Use of Technology in Business Award at
the National Business Awards North West 2007.
Service
JobsGroup.net uses Full Life Cycle Consultants, so the
person that sells to you also becomes your Account Manager. This personal service
helps ensure the promises we make are promises we keep.
People
The priority at JobsGroup.net is on building relationships lasting many years, rather
than reaching weekly sales targets. This is best achieved through investment in
our most important asset - people. JobsGroup.net supports Lifelong Learning and
provides ongoing training to all employees through the JobsGroup.net Academy to
ensure the highest levels of service are provided at all times. JobsGroup.net is
on target to attain the Investors in People National Standard in the last quarter
of 2007. The company received recognition for Best Practice by the Equal Opportunities
Commission in 2006.
Marketing
JobsGroup.net has launched many diverse and inventive campaigns that have enabled
JobsGroup.net to punch above its weight and achieve both high recognition and sales
in a sector now dominated by the UK's most powerful media companies. This includes
investment in search engine optimisation; keyword sponsorship; contra advertising;
link campaigns; online and offline advertising; award sponsorship; and the launch
of JUST TECHNICAL jobs, the monthly publication for jobseekers in the engineering,
rail and construction sectors. JobsGroup.net was nominated for Innovative Online
Marketing and Innovative Offline Marketing at the Onrec Awards 2007.
Technology
JobsGroup.net also has extensive in-house technological expertise through a highly
experienced IT team which enables the company to offer bespoke solutions to clients.
JobsGroup.net has a dedicated leased line data connection to provide a downstream
and upstream high-speed data connections via the "backbone" of the internet. JobsGroup.net
uses highly advanced web analytic software to measure and interpret the behaviour
of the millions of people that use our sites. This enables us to deliver relevant
information, improving the user experience for jobseekers and the return on investment
for our clients.
Infrastructure
The number of employees is three times greater than a year ago, from a team of 8
to a company of 24. As a result the current office has reached capacity. Purpose-built
premises are being constructed in nearby Heysham incorporating leading-edge environmental
features, including wind turbines and solar energy. The new office will house a
gym, relaxation space and free staff restaurant.
Security
All IT systems are backed-up offsite every 24 hours. The IT system is hosted behind
two FireBox X1000 Firewalls for extra protection.
