Mail group expands online job search portfolio
The Daily Mail and General Trust newspaper group has purchased two specialist recruitment sites as part of its strategy to expand online jobs services.The group paid a total of £4.1m for Zambeasy, publishers of Top-Consultant.com, and Office Recruit, publishers of Officerecruit.co.uk.
The acquisitions are designed to complement Jobsite, which the group snapped up in March 2004 for £35m. Jobsite recently launched niche sites for secretarial jobs, the pharmaceutical industry and jobs in Scotland.
“Online recruitment is a flourishing and profitable market," said Keith Potts, managing director of Jobsite.
"These acquisitions fit well with our strategy to build specialist vertical sites which complement Jobsite’s strengths.”
