Addressing the Recruitment Time Bomb
Published: Local Government IT in Use, 31st January 2008
Local government needs to urgently update its recruitment processes to cope with a future where retiring baby boomers and declining numbers of skilled young people will put talent in short supply, says Richard Tyrie, co-founder of JGP.co.uk and jobsgopublic.com.

Jobsgopublic announces surge in audience figures
Jobsgopublic is now attracting over 400,000 unique visitors a month.
Jobsgopublic goes from strength to strength as the latest figures from an independent audit of web traffic for September 2007 recorded the biggest leap yet in unique visitor numbers.
An independent audit by ABCe states that Jobsgopublic has more than doubled their figures from their last audit recorded in the November of 2005, and now attracts over 400,000 unique visitors a month.
Richard Tyrie, founding Director of Jobsgopublic is pleased with the results agreeing that:
“Naturally we’re really pleased to see the continued growth of visitors to Jobsgopublic. The new figures illustrate the ongoing migration from press advertising to online recruitment, and also highlight jobseekers’ growing confidence in the internet as the main jobseeking channel for opportunities in the public and not for profit sector.”
As one of the largest niche Jobs Boards in the UK, Jobsgopublic has remained ‘true to its roots’ by retaining its specialist interest within the public and not for profit sectors. Richard Tyrie puts this success down to excellent employee knowledge and technical expertise regarding the specific needs of public and not for profit sector organisations in terms of delivering online recruitment solutions.
The audited site traffic data by ABC Electronic will be presented alongside Audience Survey data as part of Noras (National Online Recruitment Audience Survey). The survey acts as a media planning tool for recruiters wanting to use digital media, combining user demographics and allows recruiters to target their advertising.
