But it’s not just about connecting. By showcasing their talents jobseekers can make themselves more visible and attract the attention of employers and recruiters. Jobs Link members can post blogs to demonstrate their know-how, take part in forums, publicise and attend events, receive job hunting tips and tools, and even earn extra income by advertising their goods and services.
Recruiters can also join The Jobs Link. To post jobs, browse members and connect with those who interest them. Recruiters can have CV alerts sent to them on a daily basis.
The Jobs Link also provides an opportunity for Career Professionals and Training companies to announce their services by posting useful tools and resources.
The Jobs Link founder, Harry Freedman, says
Job Seekers are colleagues. Just as companies who compete in the same market will form themselves into trade associations to raise the image of their industry and share matters of common concern, so job clubs provide an opportunity for job seekers to collaborate, share information, support, guide and advise each other. The Jobs Link is a natural evolution in the ever evolving job market.
There are two ways for members to join The Jobs Link. Free members are able to network with other members, search for jobs, comment on forums and blogs and seek advice. Premium Members (for just £4.99 a month) can also access a wider range of services, including in-depth industry and company research, receive email job alerts and have their CV sent to recruiters.
The Jobs Link is open to all, irrespective of salary, role or location.
Note for editors:
As unemployment soared, job clubs became increasingly popular. Groups of job seekers began meeting to support each other and expand their network of contacts, increasing their chances of getting a job.
