History

The company, formed in late 1993 by husband and wife team Robbie and Cheryl Cowling, [ [http://www.recruiter.co.uk/Articles/336867/Rich+list.html Rich list - The Recruiter ] ] launched its first 'jobs by email' facility on May 4, 1994 and followed later that year with the first recruitment website.

Headquartered in Tiptree, Essex, UK, the company was recognised in 2000 as having the UK's fastest rate of profit growth by "The Sunday Times"Fact|date=February 2007 and PwC in their Profit Track 100 listing. A Queen's Award for Enterprise, given to the company in 2001, was the first time an internet based company had won such a prestigious accolade.

An Australian version of the site launched in 2002 operated by a team based in Sydney who cover the Australasia and Asia Pacific region. May 2006 saw the company move into North America with the acquisition of CareerBoard.com and Computerwork.com, followed by ComputerJobs.com in November 2006 and Canada's JobShark.com in December 2006.

Job Seeker Services

Job seekers are able to search more than 9,000 new jobs published every day and apply online for any role they wish to be considered for.

Candidates who register on the JobServe website allow the companies unique matching technology, known as Alchemy, to automatically check every new vacancy posted against their search pattern. An email is immediately sent to the individual when a match is made, giving them the best possible chance of winning the role. While an unsubscribe option is provided with the email, the link for it is redirected to the JobServe home page, making it virtually impossible to remove oneself from their email list. Care must also be taken to whitelist the search results against spam blockers. This is because the company will from time to time acquire accounts from other venders (such as ComputerWork), and send unsolicited searches to users without first checking whether or not those accounts are still active.

A curriculum vitæ, or résumé can be uploaded to the sites CV database, which is used by recruiters to identify candidates to fill their vacancies.

Daily lists of new vacancies, matching job seeker profiles are sent by email or RSS.
