It's Friday and yet another fantastic week for SugarJobs…
Institute of Practitioners in Advertising
SugarJobs recently formed an affiliation with the IPA enabling our respective companies to mirror all Advertising, Marketing and Media vacancies on each other’s sites. This greatly increases the exposure of customer vacancies to jobseekers in these sectors.
The IPA is one of the world's pre-eminent trade bodies for marketing communications agencies with 260 members including the UK’s brightest and best agencies which collectively handle an estimated 85 per cent of all UK advertising spend.
We are proud to be associated with the IPA and to date our affiliation has proved extremely successful, yielding excellent results for all concerned and making SugarJobs an enviable online portal to source Marketing and Advertising agency roles!
To learn more about the IPA and their membership please go to the website http://www.ipa.co.uk/
Growth of Quality Candidate Registration
SugarJobs are now partnered with a talented and reputable candidate resourcing company who will actively source qualified candidates for all our members’ roles. We have already achieved superb results during a trial period and are now confident that this unique resourcing service, focused on driving candidate traffic to all jobs on our website, will prove valuable to our customers, especially those recruiting more unusual roles. Please therefore let us know if you are not satisfied with your advertising response and we will ensure that the resource team focus on your vacancy traffic.
This week, 3000 candidates registered and growth in candidate registration is escalating at a rate of over 300% month on month.
Growth of Quality Companies Advertising on SugarJobs
Our free four week advertising trial for all new advertisers continues to attract great companies. The feedback we have received from hiring managers during their trial period has been extremely positive and most have expressing their delighted and surprise at the calibre of response and customer service.
We are constantly striving to ensure that the service we provide exceeds expectation! Even companies used to recruiting through agencies and initially sceptical about direct recruiting have been converted during their free trial period. They now know that they have nothing to loose and everything to gain – no more agency fees; dedicated resource to drive traffic to their adverts; quality candidate responses; complete control of the recruitment process and above all, a massive saving on their recruitment costs!
Finally, to all those candidates and companies supporting our mission to enable cost effective recruiting without agencies, we are most grateful for your support in helping us go from strength to strength and we will continue to strive to improve our service as we go!

Results are proving positive
SugarJobs is now 3 months old!
Since we launched, albeit quietly, we have had very positive results which have made this a very interesting proposition to employers and candidates alike.
3 Months results:
April visits - 2,035
May visits - 5,079
June visits - 8,156
Total visits - 15,270
70% of all visits are absolutely unique visits.
115,333 page views, which means that each visitor is being engaged on the site and finding the information relevant to the situation, our benchmarking here is about 180% higher than average which is music to my ears and really means we are on track.
5:47 mins - average time spent on the site.
Our candidates are proving to be the drivers of the business at the moment with around 2,500 having registered since launch and more recently we are having around 100 new candidates registering each day, this is our coal-face and it is hotting up daily.
This is merely a small snap-shot of where we are currently and we are expecting these figures to convert into higher numbers in the months to come (with more hard work of course) :-)
We have a number of great businesses who have been on trial for a few weeks and the response from a large majority of them has been positive, and 1 or 2 have even used the words "surprisingly good" which to us, is Gold.
Moving on to the next quarter, we plan to re-skin the website to have a more engaging look & feel and one that we hope will be more engaging to the end-user. The design is just one of the many changes we are planning.
We are also engaged in setting up affiliations with credible partners that we forsee being a great part of the SugarJobs network who in turn will be offering these services to all end-users alike.

Now these results may seem trivial but remember, we launched this in a market that is reticent to try something new as well as the current financial climate that makes the decision process a little different and we seem to be keeping on track.
Finally, may I take this time to say thank you to all involved and we trust you will spread the word.
