Today’s unemployment figures show that there is confidence returning to the jobs market, according to a recruitment specialist.
Tony Wilmot, co-founder of Nottingham-based social media employment site Staffbay.com says that the fall of 45,000 in the jobless total shows that the outlook is good for people seeking work, but there are still issues surrounding youth unemployment.
“With unemployment falling and with part time employment rising 89,000 to 1.4 million, there is definitely light at the end of what has been a very dark tunnel for jobseekers,” Tony explains.
“However, we should be complacent; there are still problems around certain vulnerable groups of the unemployed, such as young people. There is still more work to be done, particularly for vulnerable groups such as young people.”
Staffbay.com, a free to use employment website, offers candidates a chance to build a multimedia profile which is searchable and viewable to potential employers.
Instead of expensive fees for adverts and database searches with no guarantee of success for employers, Staffbay.com allows free vacancy advertising and free candidate database searches.
Rather than limiting candidates to an uploaded CV, Staffbay.com provides a simple to use career profile builder including videos, messaging, webcam Skype chat and a whole lot more for employers to review, all designed to help candidate and employer get to know more about each other, and that’s all before you even consider dedicating time, effort and travel to physical interviews.
Tony adds: “We have 3,000 available jobs nationwide with 2,800 employers actively searching our database for talent before they even advertise. There are definitely opportunities for both employers and jobseekers – it’s just a matter of those with vacancies looking in the right places, and those seeking work presenting themselves in a new and exciting way.”
In the first three months of 2012 the number of employers registered on Staffbay.com trebled. Some of the blue chip companies advertising roles include Rolls-Royce, Volkswagen, Imperial Tobacco, Serco and The Body Shop.
