SecsintheCity
The response we received from SecsintheCity was fantastic. Our account manager was keen to assist us when it came to placing our advert, and was always very professional and proactive in helping us out.

SecsintheCity has been a great source of top quality PAs and Legal Secretaries for us. And on top of that receive a great service from the team, thank you!

The team put together an enhanced package of options (premium job listing and logo button) at a price that was compatible with our budget, and managed to do so very quickly. The campaign had to be taken down early because we received so many high quality candidates. What made the difference in the responses was the premium listing which pushed our advert to the top of the search. In fact we started to get inundated with responses, and so I asked to take this facility off. This is worth doing in the future I think – I received 42 responses.

Back to topWe were recruiting all level admin and PAs in and around the Boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea, [and the SecsintheCity team] provided stats from the CV Database previous to us recommending the site, providing a bullet-proof case for using SITC. We were very happy with response, and often return to the job board [to advertise] relevant roles.

GAAPweb
As a market leader for Finance and Accounting positions, GAAPweb was the obvious choice to advertise Marks and Spencer Money Finance roles. After trialling a couple of roles individually, we purchased a number of job listings and traffic drivers up front, to cover our recruitment needs for 2007. This turned out to be money well spent; of 8 roles advertised we have filled 2 of these via GAAPweb. One through the ‘usual channels’ of the job listing, and the second through GAAPweb's recently launched CV Database.
The use of the traffic drivers on the site helped the number of views and applications significantly (average views per listing was 214, and average apply clicks 19.5) and also helped raise our employer brand.
Having an online recruitment strategy gives the added benefit of advertising Marks and Spencer Money as a Finance recruiter, directly engaging with this specific job-seeking audience. Recruiting directly online also often speeded up the recruitment process which again results in a more cost-effective campaign.
Ultimately, what we expected from advertising with GAAPweb was to reduce our cost per hire, increase our brand's online exposure, and to believe we were working with market leaders who offer an excellent calibre of candidate as well as excellent service. I can say that this has been achieved, and I would recommend using GAAPweb for Accounting and Finance requirements.
M&S Money
We had two vacancies arise in our Accountancy and Finance team and wanted to choose a niche online resource to fill these roles cost-effectively. With taking the CV Database we had control over choosing the candidates we wanted to interview by sending them a job description. We downloaded 13 good quality CVs from GAAPweb, and they were all specific to Accountancy and Finance professionals. We had two Finance vacancies and set up interviews for 3 of the candidates sourced from GAAPweb's CV Database. I would definitely use GAAPweb again for our Accountancy and Finance vacancies and would recommend anyone wanting to hire accountancy finance professionals to use GAAPweb too.

Recently, several new Finance roles became available and as such we felt we needed an extra source in addition to some of the generic sites we had been using. We explored the opportunity of working with GAAPweb which we know attracts talented Finance professionals at all levels.
GAAPweb devised a few recommended packages to fit into our recruitment budget and match our needs. Then our recruitment team selected the initial package and the rest was very straightforward.

Back to topGAAPweb was great way of sourcing candidates. It was completely empowering as I didn't need to rely on Recruitment Consultants. The CV Database allowed me to approach relevant candidates instantly and with GAAPweb I found what I was looking for and managed to fill the vacancy.

We advertised 2 positions on your website – one was for a qualified Lawyer and the other was a position for a Paralegal… We advertised these same positions through a paper-based medium. We received a significantly better response, and, importantly, at a significantly lower cost, through your website.
Kelly Jones, Human Resources, Practical Law Company
Back to topWe placed three advertisements and 80% of the response was from totallylegal. I was impressed by the level of seniority of the candidates and in fact we are making an offer to one of them.

HotRecruit
We have 7 racecourses in our group, and we required a campaign that suited the needs of all. This meant a seasonal plan, as well as ongoing recruitment. We had a six month contract, where we used a Targeted Email, as well as automatic application forms. All [of our] sites got their applications sent directly to them which was easy to manage. The advertising spaces we got on the websites were brilliant, allowing a great response to our ads.
We had a very successful campaign, with great feedback from all [of our venues]. We were able to cope with our seasonal demands across [the country]… giving us the numbers and quality of staff needed.
Arena Leisure
Back to topWe were initially looking for 200 people to work at the Grand National in Aintree. Due to the success of the campaign we continued to advertise nationwide with HotRecruit throughout the year for all of our big events including The Open Golf in July & Royal Ascot in June.
Absolutely fantastic! As a company, we had previously stayed away from advertising in this way, however the outcome has been unbelievable. We have had over 4,000 quality applications since we began advertising which was more than we could have hoped for.

PlanetRecruit
Back to topI assist the Oracle Consulting business in the UK (both sales and delivery), which encompasses a variety of roles from new business through to strategic accounts on the sales side and function and technical consultant roles on delivery. I use PlanetRecruit both to advertise and search CVs predominantly in the UK. I have found the quality and quantity of the ad response to be very good and using the database search facility always seems to return me a good quality amount of new and qualified resumés on the market.
