Take a look at the new reed.co.uk now.

There’s a lot of excitement here at reed.co.uk, as we’re about to unveil a brand new version the site.
Redesigned and including a host of new features, the latest version will offer jobseekers an even better experience and build on reed.co.uk’s current position as the UK’s most visited commercial job site (Hitwise, October 2008).
We’ve spent months gathering insights from jobseekers and recruiters to inform how we develop our service. The good news is that we’ve been getting it right for a long time. The great news is that it’s now going to be even better.
Improved matching tools will give jobseekers a faster route to the jobs they’re interested in, whilst clearer navigation, new partnerships and an unrivalled choice of vacancies from direct employers and recruitment agencies will add up to a superior user experience.
Look out for the new site, coming soon.

This week, as you may have noticed, reed.co.uk has begun another round of its successful ‘Love Mondays’ campaign. The advertisements are playing on radio around the UK, and debuting new posters and online advertising.
This time, moving beyond its original ‘Monday morning’ focus, the campaign aims to jog jobseekers’ memories that we all can and should enjoy working.
We are really proud of our new posters, and think that they are an irreverent reminder. Be sure to check us out on the London Underground, on trams in Manchester and Croydon and as well as interactive advertising online.
Three of our favourite radio advertisements from the two previous rounds of advertising round out the overall campaign.
If like us, you love ‘Love Mondays’. Tell us why!

One of our new radio adverts has been recognised by international review site, BestAdsOnTV.com.
‘Tea‘, which targets graduate jobseekers, features in the latest ‘Best radio of the month‘ category. It’s been running on stations throughout the UK during April and May.
Keep your ears open for more over the coming weeks and months.

We’ve just launched a new job site for Singapore, as we continue to expand our portfolio of international sites for those looking for jobs outside the UK.
This is part of our dedication to offering a more comprehensive service for our current base of UK jobseekers looking to work abroad as well for non-UK jobseekers looking to move jobs.
reedjobs.sg is the ninth international site we’ve released and sits alongside recently launched sites for Poland, Malta and Qatar.
The reedjobs.com site now offers a gateway to jobs around the world, with specific sites for Poland, Ireland, Malta, Australia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Qatar.
We’ll continue to develop our international sites throughout the coming year, so keep checking back for the latest global job opportunities.

Recruiters posting jobs on reed.co.uk using our Guaranteed Response service now benefit from double the number of CVs.
We’ve made an upgrade so that jobs posted via the service now carry a guarantee of ten responses.
The change comes in response to the ongoing success of the product since its launch in November last year. Guaranteed Response jobs currently generate an average of sixteen applications each, so boosting the guarantee to ten responses is an excellent way for us to enhance the service.
Guaranteed Response is designed to give recruiters a relevant and timely response to their vacancies: if at least ten CVs aren’t received via direct application during the first week, we’ll make up the difference with access to our CV database of over 1.3 million candidates.
We believe Guaranteed Response offers the most demonstrable return on investment available in the online recruitment market today. Not only does it give recruiters the assurance of ten CVs for their vacancy, but it also significantly undercuts the cost of other, less sophisticated job posting services.

Our latest traffic audit (PDF) has just been published by ABCe. And, once again, it provides confirmation that reed.co.uk receives more job applications than any other job site. The audited figure for online job applications January 2008 was 1,278,675.
It’s almost a year since we called upon the industry to adopt standard auditing of job application figures to arm recruiters with simple and effective comparability between services. Yet reed.co.uk is still one of only two UK job sites to publish this figure.
In today’s ultra-competitive market, recruiters deserve transparency when making decisions about which online services to use, and independently audited figures equip them with the appropriate knowledge.
And for more evidence of our commitment to maximising return on investment for recruiters, take a look at our revolutionary Guaranteed Response service - the UK’s only job posting service with a guarantee.

We’ve been busy launching our first regional advertising campaign for reed.co.uk.
Initially focusing on Greater Manchester, Bristol, Bath and Swindon, the latest activity uses our hugely successful ‘Love Mondays’ theme, first seen across London earlier this year.
We’re using a variety of media, including radio, outdoor and press advertising, as well as a range of social networking and premium websites. And you may have spotted that we’ve even added our little Love Mondays post-it note to the website.
