Jobshout announces job alerts functionality

Here's our latest press release...

Jobshout, the online service for recruiters and HR that lets you add your own job board to your website, has announced that it will soon allow users to automatically send alerts about newly posted jobs, via email or SMS, to candidates whose job-seeking profile matches the vacancy.

“Job alerts are a great way to communicate with candidates”, says Jobshout CEO Steve Gibson. “The ability to post a job and to have it go out immediately to people whose profile it matches can give an agency a critical advantage in a business environment in which speed can often be a major factor in whether you win business or not. And from a branding point of view having your very own job board that sends alerts to jobseekers speaks volumes about the quality of service that you provide.”

The job alerts functionality is part of a broader programme to expand the Jobshout package through its Jobshout Pro add-on package. The first module to be announced was the ability to send job details to the UK’s popular Broadbean job posting system.

The job alerts system has been under development for several months and is due for release in a few weeks time.

About Jobshout
The Jobshout service began in 2007. It lets people who are recruiting online – in other words recruitment and staffing agencies, and other organisations who want to advertise their vacancies on the web – quickly set up a job board, with their own branding and the look and feel of their own website. They can then publish it under their own domain name, or on jobshout.com.

Jobshout is very quick to set up, there are no start-up costs, and it is a hosted service, so there is no software to install or maintain. Publishing a job on the web becomes the work of a couple of minutes, and in the process Jobshout does the sort of work that a web expert would do to ensure that the ad stands the best possible chance of being found in searches on Google, MSN, and so on.

Jobshout monitors applicants and CVs, and its built-in analytics show how well individual ads, and the site as a whole, are working.

Jobshout is a division of recruitment specialists Workstation.
