British Job Site Sees Record Numbers

Britain's government-run recruitment site Jobcentre Plus is seeing record numbers in 2007, reports Netimperative. One week in March, the site handled 2.2 million jobseekers who searched some 6.5 million times. In total, the site handled over 70 million job searches in 2007, accounting for 14 percent of the U.K. recruitment market. The last six months have been a major growth period for two-year-old Jobcentre. The leap in career interest represents a trend in the U.K. in which people increasingly prioritize Internet job-hunting over alternatives.
