A recent survey has revealed that job seekers in Yorkshire and Humber are spending more time searching the internet for jobs than ever before, choosing online instead of more traditional sources, such as recruitment agencies and local papers. They share the title of ‘Most tech-savvy job seekers’ with those in London.
In fact, the commercial job site market has grown 75% in the past two years. In particular, marketing, media, PR and engineering vacancies have found their audience on the internet, with more vacancies of these kinds being posted every month.
To reflect this trend, 40% of businesses nationwide intend to increase the amount of resources they dedicate to online recruiting over the next 6 months. The survey was conducted by Monster.com.
