UK Jobs, Indeed
By admin | July 15, 2007
In the heat of a job search, many people find it necessary to use several different search engines. This method is usually more effective due to the fact that many employers prefer one site over another. By using multiple search engines, one is able to find a wider variety of listings. Despite the effectiveness of this method, it is most certainly time consuming.
Most job search engines operate by requiring a subscription price, usually from the company in need of new employees. These sites only list available positions from companies that have an account with the site. This results in a scattering of job listings.
Such sites as Indeed.com have eliminated this problem for American users. However, until recently people searching London jobs were stuck searching a myriad of websites in hope of finding jobs in London. On July 17th Indeed.com announced the launch of their new site, Indeed.co.uk. This search engine is comprehensive and allows UK users the ability to view job listings from multiple websites, major job posting boards, top newspapers, and even those only placed on the individual companies web page.
The US version of the website attracts 3.5 million users a month. Similar results are expected for the UK version. Indeed.co.uk will provide somewhere around 100,000 new jobs online every week. This means the site will have more current postings than any other UK job search engine.
Indeed.co.uk is designed to with the job seeker’s needs in mind while also focusing on the human resources audience as well. Along with creating a website that pulls together the scattered employment listings, the site also offers one the ability to limit their search by keyword, like most job search engines. Going a step further, Indeed.co.uk also allows individuals the ability to search by company name, job title, or maximum commuting distance. The website also allows job seekers the ability to save their search results as e-mail alerts or RSS feeds. This allows users the ability to know when a new job in their area of expertise is posted.
The US version of the page won the 2007 Weddle’s Users’ Choice Award and was named the Best Job Search Engine by Job-hunt.org. Now UK job seekers will be able to access the same quality of job search engine as their American counterparts.
