SugarJobs going down a storm!

I am absolutely delighted and if I were more flexible, I would do flick flacks over the progress made by www.SugarJobs.co.uk !

Since launch on 4 April 2009 and from a complete standing start, we have seen over a 1000 jobseekers register; almost 50 customer post jobs (a nice mix of high profile and smaller businesses) and; we are currently beating all similar sized competitors (hands down) on all Google analytics benchmarking statistics!

How fabulous to discover that there are so many like minded folk out there with similar experiences. In today's online age, the day of the "middleman" to recruit is an utterly unnecessary expense and inconvenience.

So very many candidates have called to say how delighted they are at not having to speak to agents who have no understanding of their skills, yet make the final decision as to whether to submit their CV to a customer or not (that's if you ever get to speak to an agent again after initial contact!)…. and, so many Employers, as soon as they hear “SugarJobs” say “Sorry, we don’t use agencies” ……what a great invitation to start selling our services and they love it!

Now, I am not knocking agents - there are some very good ones, but by and large the majority leaves a great deal to be desired! I am simply telling the truth and feel justified in my right to criticize – I worked for over 20 years in recruitment and made a good living charging my customers 20% per candidate placement. Over the past 5 years, mostly through very little effort – like every other agent today, I simply posted my customer’s jobs on jobboards and filtered the response through!

Well, I am now making up for my guilt – SugarJobs is pay-back time and so far it’s working a treat! If you advertise, you’ll soon recoup all the fees I’ve charged you over the years! J

A very big Thank You for all your support – watch your back Monster! :-)
