dd3 According to Forrester Research, use of the Internet for recruitment is forecast to grow substantially between now and the year 2001. The GVU 9th Internet User Survey, published by the Georgia Institute of Technology, revealed that approximately 62% and 55% of users in Europe and the USA respectively fall within the MPT personnel job categories while 64% and 61% in Europe and the USA respectively have used the Internet to look for employment. As a result of shortages of qualified MPT employees in many industries, recruitment consultants and corporate clients have increasingly abandoned local recruitment campaigns in favour of national and sometimes global campaigns to reach a wider pool of quality candidates. In the UK, for example, the 1998 Softworld Survey on the Human Resources and Payroll markets, conducted in association with Personnel Today magazine, states that the use of the Internet for recruitment advertising by employers throughout the UK is projected to increase from 24% in 1998 to 54% in 2001. Recruitment advertising within the traditional media is expected to fall by more than 40%. There is evidence the same trend in recruitment advertising will take place in other countries where large multi-national corporations are based. Why Use the Internet for Recruitment? The Internet provides a highly effective medium for recruitment advertising for a number of principal reasons. These include: Internet recruitment advertising is dynamic and not constrained by either space or time, thereby allowing customers to provide a complete company message that can be continually updated. Responses generated through an Internet recruitment advertising campaign can be tracked and measured for effectiveness and thereby demonstrate a return on the advertising investment. Internet recruitment advertising is significantly more cost-effective than print media. Corporate HR personnel and recruitment agency customers are able to control and manage their recruitment process. Who is Using the Internet for Recruitment? The market for advertising and employment listing services on the Internet is highly fragmented. A range of organisations have recognised the potential of the Internet as a business medium for recruitment advertising, including corporations, recruiting firms, public sector organisations, a wide variety of independent Web site operators, online service providers, print and other media organisations. A number of these offer job listings on a bulletin board basis or as an add-on or adjunct to their traditional print media or recruitment consulting businesses. Top Jobs on the Net offers a total Internet recruitment solution with clear advantages over of each of these approaches and formats. Promotion Targeted promotion is key for success. A steady stream of new job seekers must be attracted to the site because by definition if the site is successful they will not be job seekers for long. To attract job seekers to Top Jobs on the Net, a fully integrated and aggressive online and offline marketing program effectively targeted at the MPT job seeker is employed. The online program consists of banners, partnerships with leading online service providers such as AOL, and search engine promotion and offline program uses using prime time television, radio, national newspapers, leading publications, and heavily branded outdoor site advertising.

dd6 Invesco Regus Microsoft Sony Best People Invesco "As a global investment company, Invesco has global recruitment needs and the Internet is a medium with a global reach. Top Jobs on the Net's ability to target the type of candidates we wanted to attract was a key factor in using their services. Our Paris-based marketing support centre had an immediate staffing need for a person to join our marketing team. We required a native Spanish-speaker with fluency in English to provide support to our offices in Continental Europe as well as being a major contact for our Latin American operations. We received numerous responses and of the 38 applications we hired an individual from Spain. Top Jobs on the Net provided us with a quality service and a recruitment process that was fast, cost-effective, and produced results." Oliver Kopsch, Marketing Manager - Continental Europe, Invesco January 1999 Regus "Between June and November 1998 we have received over 1000 CV's via Top Jobs on the Net. We've interviewed between 40 and 50 of these applicants and recruited ten people. The average cost saving per recruit, in comparison with our traditional methods of recruitment, is in the region of £1,000. We're also very pleased with the quality of CV's we've received, in fact, this is where the real value of Top Jobs on the Net has been for us. We thought that the internet would be good for centre manager positions downwards but in fact we've had a lot of success with more senior positions, particularly in the 30K to 80K salary bracket. For example, we've used Top Jobs on the Net to search for an Area Director for Europe and a Head of Internal IT". Andrea Wyatt, Internet Marketing Manager - Regus November 1998 Microsoft "One of our key success factors is passion for technology and one of Microsoft's corporate goals is enabling a web lifestyle. So, what a better place is there to find the next generation of great Microsoft employees." Mark Keane, Director of Human Resources, Microsoft September, 1998 SONY "Since working with Top Jobs on the Net in 1996, I have found them to be an excellent business partner. Although they have grown significantly in this time, they have been able to hang onto that elusive personal touch and maintained the flexibility and adaptability which we at Sony appreciate. I am particularly impressed with their drive to establish a strong brand within their market and therefore more convinced than ever that we are working with the best provider of web based recruitment services for our business needs across Europe.Top Jobs on the Net will remain our choice for recruiting on the web." Steven Waterhouse, HR Manager, European Support, SONY (UK Ltd) September 1998 Best People "Like Top Jobs on the Net, we offer innovative, effective recruitment services and solutions to our customers.
