Take control of your job search and find more jobs, in less time......
One of the greatest challenges facing job hunters is to find jobs that match their skills, experience and aspirations. In can be very time consuming to find suitible opportunities, particularly during economic downturns.
However, there are a range of techniques that can easily find many more vacancies.
These are often either unknown or not bothered with. Our job hunting resources provide you with a deatiled approach to make sure that you maximise your chances.
Our Job Search Spider
Lets face it, Job searching across multiple job boards is both frustrating and time consuming. But not anymore
Our spider makes it easy to find many more jobs in a lot less time. No more scrolling through dozens of pages of results........
We let you use your PC to directly search many job boards that cover your industry. Typically it takes about 90 seconds to retrieve over 400 results for as many as 10 different job boards. Almost every industry is covered and you can even add you own job boards to the list!

Please note that the job spider ONLY works with Windows 98SE/2000/XP and Vista. It will not work on a Mac. A broadband connection is also needed. Dial-up can be used, BUT is not recommended.
Networking
If you read the job pages of the Times and other similar newspapers, you will often see advertisements offering to help get you access to the unadvertised job market. No - this is not some hidden market of extra jobs, it actually means using your existing network of contacts to help find opportunities. This is often quoted by many top executives as they way that they get most of their jobs.
Networking is an extremely useful tool, but this can be a difficult area to use effectively.
Our networking sections takes you through in lots of detail, exactly how to leverage your contacts and help speed up your job hunt.
Head Hunters
Headhunters are specialists in recruiting scarce skills as well as senior and executive positions. Indeed some positions tend to be ONLY filled by headhunters. It is possible to make sure that headhunters get to know about your skills and approach you for plum positions. Our guide takes you through a simple process to help lift your profile and find the best jobs.
Our list of UK and international job boards is probably the most comprehensive available. It gives you access to hundreds of recruitment sites that most job seekers don't know about.
Social Networking
The internet and the so called "Web 2.0" provide new mechanisms for networking and identifying new opportunities. We give you the low down on these and how to use these to the best effect.
Working with Agencies
Agencies are still the dominant route for finding jobs. They vary from excellent to the downright unscrupulous. There are over 50,000 agencies registered in the UK. They can make a real difference to your job search, but you need to manage them effectively. They can be like having your own salesforce actively selling your profile to suitible employers.
As well as providing you with a very large list of jobsites, we also provide a detailed approach for working with agencies to get the best results.
CV Banks
CV Banks are a recent variation on job boards where you register your CV and this then becomes available to both agencies and employers. Some agencies will be continually looking for particular skills and this is often a more fruitful approach than applying direcly for jobs. When you get contacted by an agency who has just received your CV via this route, it is often more likely to lead to an interview and job offer.
However, there are both potential security issues as well as better ways to work these boards. We take you through how to use these safely.
Job Hunting strategies
Job hunting can be broken down into a step by step process. We have condensed our experience down into six steps which maximise your chances of finding your next job.
There are often dozens, if not hundreds of job seekers after the same job. In order to suceed, you need to have a more effective strategy.
