Johnston Press revamps online jobs platform

Regional publisher Johnston Press has relaunched its national jobs website jobstoday.co.uk on a mobile-friendly responsive platform.

Jobstoday.co.uk is the national online jobs board which harnesses recruitment ads for JP’s 185 local news websites

The move to responsive design will make it easier for jobseekers to apply for posts using mobile or tablet devices by enabling them to access their CVs from a cloud-based storage service before uploading them to job applications.

Jobstoday will also provide Virtual Careers Fairs where employers can showcase their business, connect with relevant job seekers in a real time environment and fill advertised vacancies with talented individuals.

Joe Slavin, managing director – recruitment for Johnston Press, said: “We need to be ahead of the pack when it comes to the digital services we offer to the labour market – both employers and job seekers.

“Ease of use and effectiveness of service have to be a priority and we’ve ticked those boxes with our new jobs website. These digital offerings are crucial as our business evolves and our new website is a key plank in our strategy for digital growth.”
