New Jobsite & ERT Weekly Partnership Provides First Dedicated Jobs Channel for UK Electrical Retail Industry

Leading online recruiter, Jobsite (www.jobsite.co.uk) and number one electrical retail publication, ERT Weekly (www.ertweekly.com) have partnered to launch ERT Weekly Jobs, the first dedicated online jobs channel designed to meet the growing recruitment needs of the UK’s £15 billion electrical retail industry.

The new partnership brings together Jobsite’s twelve years of experience in online, national and multi sector recruitment, with the brand equity of ERT Weekly’s long established publication and innovative new trade website to serve all the job requirements of both retailers and manufacturers.

The new jobs channel, ERT Weekly Jobs, caters to the needs of the thousands of jobseekers looking for work across this exciting, evolving industry, providing access to some of the leading electronic retail employers and roles as diversified as management, sales, IT and customer service. With an estimated 40,000 workers already employed in this sector, the industry is expected to flourish as retailers continue to offer unparalleled expertise on the high street. Coupled with the availability of more affordable products this has strengthened the value and range of business offerings available on the market.

For electrical retailers and manufacturers looking to source quality personnel, the new online job channel at www.ertweekly.com features a high specification search function, guaranteeing a strong return of relevant and accurate jobs to the candidates and ensuring the recruiters are targeting the right individuals with their vacancies. Additional job hunting services available on the site have been designed to make job hunting quicker and easier, including daily email job alerts, simplified application processes, career advice and the ability for candidates to store, update and make their CVs searchable to employers.

Commenting on the new launch, Patrick Taylor, Group Publishing Director for the ERT group, explains: “By providing this new employment service ERT Weekly has cemented its position as an essential media provider offering support to retailers and manufacturers to ensure an unparalleled service to the industry”.

Keith Potts, MD of Jobsite, adds: “By bringing together Jobsite’s’ expertise and track record of building and running niche job sites, with ERT’s in-depth understanding of the electrical retail trade industry, ERT Weekly Jobs offers unrivalled access to relevant candidates and jobs, supported by industry leading news and online services. Our philosophy is always to make job hunting quicker and easier and this is clearly demonstrated in the effectiveness of the ERT Weekly Jobs online service and the high visitor rates the site is already receiving.”
