A recruitment website run by newspaper publisher Trinity Mirror has almost doubled its database of job seekerrs to 2.4m candidates.

Fish4jobs now boasts more than 1.6m visitors a month after the incorporation of other Trinity Mirror-owned job sites – including JobSearch, JobsinEducation, TheCareerEngineer and PlanetRecruit – under the Fish4jobs brand.

Gary McNish, who runs Fish4jobs, said: “By unifying these sites under the Fish4jobs brand we are immediately adding pools of specialist talent in a variety of high demand niche areas, to complement and enhance our existing multi-sector offering.

“Combine this with our portfolio of regional and sister jobs sites JobsWales and ScotCareers, and we’re delivering the widest possible reach by region, and sector, to our recruitment advertisers.”

Head of marketing Charlotte Tracy added: “There’s an increasing demand for specialist job seekers in areas such engineering, education and IT so we’re really excited about these brands joining the Fish4jobs family.

In January Fish4jobs launched a nationwide multi-platform brand campaign under the tag line ‘Land your next job’.
