Finding your next job is one of the biggest events in someone’s life. Just like it is to recruit the best person to progress your business. This is why GlosJobs.co.uk is such a crucial local resource – they change the direction of people’s lives every day.
At a time of rising unemployment and increasing pressure on local businesses to fill vacancies, local trusted recruitment platform, GlosJobs, has stepped up to support Gloucestershire people seeking jobs and employers advertising vacancies.
GlosJobs has relaunched its website to make it easier to find and fill jobs. Their new platform is designed to help both sides connect easily, faster, more affordably, and with better local results, for job seekers and employers in Gloucestershire and Bristol.
The rate of UK unemployment, for those aged 16 and over, rose to 4.7% in May, the highest it has been in four years, according to the latest data from the Office of National Statistics.
Many of you will know Belinda Wilson, Founder and Director of GlosJobs.co.uk, and she shared with us,
“The current employment landscape is tough for all. We know that strong local recruitment is key to a better economy for all of us. We’re proud to play our part. When we founded the business, we had a vision for GlosJobs.co.uk to be right in the heart of the community; a cost-effective resource where employers and jobseekers could connect. Fast forward almost 25 years later, our GlosJobs jobs board is even better placed to support job seekers and employers with this new design. We’ve taken time to get user feedback and re-built to meet their needs and the ever-changing job market. The great new functions cement our standing as the number one job board in Gloucestershire and Bristol.”
Their website has had more than just a facelift; they’ve adapted it based on what their users told them and improved functions to enhance both experience and the service provided.
Michael Ellyatt, Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce commented,
“The new GlosJobs.co.uk website makes it easier for local employers and jobseekers to connect. Anything that improves the situation for both sectors is a great improvement for the Gloucestershire economy.”
As a local independent business for almost 25 years, GlosJobs are not just industry experts, they are committed and deeply rooted in Gloucestershire with their friendly and knowledgeable support team who care about their clients and community.
Max Phillips, from i2i Recruitment, an independent recruitment agency in Cheltenham, who advertise all their vacancies with GlosJobs, commented,
“The new GlosJobs website is a testament to 25 years of hard work. We’ve had the pleasure of working with GlosJobs for over 15 years, they’re the beating heart of job advertisement in Gloucestershire.”
GlosJobs.co.uk are the local alternative to national jobs boards, which often overlook the needs of local businesses and candidates.
According to their new website, since they established in 2001, they’ve advertised an incredible 630,789 jobs, for 6788 local employers, and this week alone they’re advertising 467 jobs.
Belinda continued and shared with us how they were founded,
“GlosJobs.co.uk site was founded in 2001 by myself and Danny Homer, in the days before LinkedIn or any social media existed. The only way to look for work was to buy the local newspaper or go to a national website. When you searched for Gloucester or Cheltenham, you almost always were shown jobs in Bristol or Birmingham, with none listed for Gloucestershire. Spotting a niche, Belinda and Danny started from nothing and are now proud to have helped tens of thousands of untold people find their next job or member of staff. We hope all our users appreciate the redesign – we’d love to hear from them.”
