Press Release: Celebrating another successful year!

Securing another year under their belt, keeps simplylawjobs.com firmly in the top legal job-websites. 26th April 2004, this UK based job-board, launched against some tough competition. Some said ‘you will never survive’, others commented that the legal job board space ‘needed the competition’ and welcomed its presence. Whatever opinions at the time, now with over 90,000 jobs posted on the website during the last few years and with a consistent 12,000+ jobs available for candidates to apply for at any one time, this board is firmly in the minds of legal professionals and recruiters.

Bristol is the undoubted centre of the legal recruitment market in the
South West and the city hosts a selection of top Legal 500 firms, as such
there are over 10% of the roles advertised on simplylawjobs.com are in
Bristol and the surrounding areas,

"It is strange to look back at the days of working 24/7 from my bedroom in
the first year completely on my own, battling against very strong odds of
failing" says Michelle, Managing Director of simplylawjobs.com reflecting
on the last 3 years. She is fully aware of the failure rate of job-boards,
"people think it is an easy money-maker, a simple thing to create and
maintain – it is far from this. You need to be in it for the long-term and
be prepared to invest all your revenue (& more) in the first 5 years of
business."

Now operating from serviced offices in the South West, with 2 other
full-time members of staff supporting the website & its client’s needs,
she is proud of what has been achieved. "We still have a very long way to
go and are continually improving the site and seeking new ways of
attracting candidates to our client adverts."

As the traditional 3rd year anniversary gift is leather – she has one
simple message "We are durable, long-lasting and versatile. We plan on
cracking the whip in the market over the coming years."
