MyJobGroup.co.uk becomes Whatjobsite Approved Website 2010

We are delighted to announce that MyJobGroup.co.uk, the network of regional job boards encompassing such sites as MySheffieldJobs, MyBirminghamJobs etc, has been awarded the Whatjobsite Approved Website 2010 award.

Whatjobsite Approved Website 2010 is an initiative by whatjobsite and supported by 30 leading job boards in the UK to offer a brand of trust and reliability to employer recruiters. Unlike other awards that recognise or verify job boards and recruitment websites, the Whatjobsite Approved Website Award is unique in that it is aimed specifically at the needs of the direct employer.

For those of us in the industry, choosing a job board is a very straightforward decision. We know the quality sites. We know the quality brands. We know the market leaders. But for employer recruiters the decision is much more difficult. Position on the first page of Google is no guarantee of quality or success. And job board that only advertise jobs from recruitment agencies are seldom a good option for employers. The Whatjobsite Approved Website Award aims to offer employer recruiters a mark of trust and quality.

For example, only established job boards with significant numbers of job ads and a history of direct employer advertising can receive the whatjobsite Approved Website Award. Only job boards that meet UK company legislation as well as EU ecommerce directives can receive the award. Only job boards that allow us to verify their user statistics can receive the award. Only sites that offer the option of an account managed service can receive the award.

This is important for us as many direct recruiters have little or no experience in job board advertising and the expertise of an account manager can make the difference between success and hundreds of pounds down the drain. And, on the subject of money, only sites that offer clear and transparent employer pricing can receive the award.

Yes, we’re very cranky and demanding but with over 1200 job boards in the UK and too many offering poor and dubious service to employers, we want to ensure that the sites we recommend are the best there are.

So we are delighted to award MyJobGroup the Whatjobsite Approved Website Award 2010. This well-established network of regional job boards offers a compelling recruitment advertising option to employer recruiters. You can find out more about MyJobGroup by clicking here.
