Just the job - simply grows faster than expected & it’s no ‘picnic’

Due to an overwhelming increase in business over the last few months, niche job-board simplylawjobs.com has taken on an additional member of staff 6 months before anticipated. Michelle Jones, Managing Director, says “I am delighted to welcome Gemma on board. We always had plans to recruit an extra person by early next year, it has just come sooner than expected due to client demand.”

Gemma brings with her over 7 years customer service & administration experience, some of which was gained in a large newspaper advertising group. This is the right move for the business, at this stage, when there are an abundance of positions available within the legal profession. Over the last 3 months alone, 12,000 new positions have been added to simplylawjobs.com.

“We are experiencing a strong candidate-driven marketplace and our clients need to have a little more attention to detail for their advertising campaigns to attract the right applicants. We believe that as an advertising medium some of that responsibility falls on our shoulders and we need to make every effort to ensure they see a return on the cost of advertising. Gemma fulfils this advertising support role.” proclaims Michelle

Simplylawjobs.com are always looking to exceed customer expectations and this move demonstrates their commitment to that mission. Since April 2004, simplylawjobs.com has grown from a bedroom-based business to one of the leading UK-based legal job-boards. Benefiting from incremental traffic growth due to their excellent organic search engine positions and supported by a comprehensive ad words campaign & extensive off-line advertising within the legal sector, to drive experienced legal professionals to the site.

Michelle has to pinch herself regularly due to the incredibly tough market she has entered. It is a fact that Job Boards often launch and fail within the 1st year. A recent example of this was a large generalist job-board that was backed by a huge corporate company and claimed to be the ‘future of online recruitment’ with ‘a revolutionary website set to shake up the online job market’. They said that within a year recruiters and job hunters would not want to go anywhere else. This business failed within 7 months! Michelle had no financial backing and used her own personal funds to start simplylawjobs.com.

Michelle comments “When I look back at our early promotions we never made any promises that we couldn’t fulfil. We are always honest with our clients and offer the best service possible.” Looks like simplylawjobs.com are here to stay and they are gearing up to meet some of the more established players head-on.
