A regional publisher has launched a company-wide online jobs platform which links its individual titles to a central database.

Local World’s initiative will see each of its 79 newspaper websites host their own local job board which will allow recruiters to post both locally and nationally searchable jobs.

The company says the new fully-responsive design features bring an improved experience and search performance for users of desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices.

A dedicated recruiters area also allows those posting vacancies to manage their account, create campaigns and access a fully-integrated reporting suite.

Local World Commercial Director Blanche Sainsbury said: “Recruitment is a very competitive market and with many national job boards already in existence.

“But Local World has a unique offering of local candidates and local recruiters, bringing the two together under the umbrella of the local newspaper brand, yet with the flexibility to deliver national coverage to meet recruiter needs.”
