Story of Jobshout

Jobshout began it’s journey about two and half years ago at Workstation Solutions Ltd when I was working on some other CRM software projects. I noticed publishing jobs and content online for administrators was a nightmare. We were missing lot of opportunities as not every new job was posted on the site as it was practically not very easy to do so as it was laborious process. Also there was every chance of making technical errors as every page needed to be tested and working on all Internet Browsers. There was no meta data on these pages for best SEO. So chances of finding our site by new visitors on the web using Search Engines was nil. There was not a single readymade system available of this kind to manage jobs and CVs online on a branded web based system . And if the online brand changes all the site content would have to be re-developed again. As you can imagine it was quite an effort to post a single job. I had some web development experience and everyone in the company supported this new idea and I was commissioned by Steve and Nathan to write something which will allow them to run their business efficiently.

Since then Jobshout has evolved and we started offering Jobshout to external clients as a service. Idea worked really well as there was no hardware to buy, there was no database license to buy and there was no need for big budgets to start online presence. Workstation’s new job board started to attract 1000 unique visitors a day from UK alone. It was quite a big jump from about 10 visitors a day.

Anyway, It will be wrong for me to take all the credit for writing Jobshout as I could have never done it without Workstation’s support and trust in myself. I will be always grateful to Steve Gibson, Vivien Gibson and Nathan Mayatt for creating opportunities for myself and others.

I would like to also take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank Rollo Carpenter @ Icogno Ltd for his excellent SEO ideas and work done on Jobshout. And Kevin Williams for his contribution to Email job alerts and broadbean integration.
