Angel are delighted to announce the launch of their new website, designed and developed by Optimal Internet. Using the latest OptimalRec technology, their website will work much more effectively as a business tool for them by helping them attract new candidates looking online for employment specifically in the Executive, IT, B2B, Commercial, Industrial and Social Care markets. It will place Angel’s recruitment services in front of a targeted online audience with the aim of delivering new candidates through to roles advertised within their own brand.

“We’re very pleased that our partnership with Optimal Internet has allowed us to produce a website which helps to cater for the needs of our candidates and clients alike,” commented James Ball, Director of Angel Services Group. “The overall objective was to enhance the client/candidate experience when dealing with Angel to enable us to deliver an unrivalled recruitment service of the highest quality. We believe with this website that we’re well on track to achieving this.”

Bruce Stander, the Managing Director at Optimal Internet says “We are delighted that we are working in partnership with Angel as they are so well recognised in the market with such a great team behind them”.

“Previously the Angel site was entirely Flash - which made it very difficult for search engines to read the content: simply, it was acting as more of a brochure site than an effective business tool. By purchasing the OptimalRec package, Angel can expect a more return to their business - from candidates registering and applying to clients finding them for recruitment solutions they require. And judging on what our other clients are seeing, by investing in their own brand development, it means that that their site will perform well with growing returns on investment.”

“Their vision is very clear and exciting and we look forward to a successful partnership with Angel”.

Consisting of over 100 niche sites plus the main Go Job Search site, the GJS network is fast becoming a major resource for candidates to find the perfect job. Built on the proven OptimalRec technology, each job is highly optimised and syndicated to a vast number of areas on the web to ensure maximum, targeted, market coverage. This means that candidates can find the right role for them through the major search engines.

Go Job Search is a multi-industry optimised advertising portal. This network will be expanding in line with client requirements. All the sites integrate with Conkers and BroadBean and Go Job Search also subscribes jobs to market leading job search engines such as WorkCircle, Indeed UK, 1Job, and more.

Bruce Stander, the founder and Managing Director of Optimal Internet and Go Job Search states “Go Job Search is introducing itself to the market as a tool to really help recruitment businesses and as such is taking the approach of offering unlimited, vacancy advertisements for as little as £129 per month. We firmly believe that online marketing does not have to be expensive and certainly in this day and age, where web space is virtually unlimited, advertising should be allowed to flourish on the web to give candidates a much better chance of finding the right role for them”.

He continues, “Our fundamental understanding of the recruitment market is reflected in our dedication to providing a quality service at minimum risk to recruitment businesses. All too often we see recruitment firms squeezed by rising costs of advertising and reducing percentage margins from clients – this will offer a fresh approach for them to get their jobs viewed by the right audience.”

Go Job Search will offer value added services such as ‘CV Watch’. This will use advanced technology to send candidates with the specific skill sets predefined by the recruiter directly to their email address.

Branding opportunities will be offered on the home pages of the main GJS site and all the niche sites – linking logos to recruiter websites or an optimised Corporate Brochure. This will offer an effective online marketing campaign, designed to be inexpensive, to compliment the unlimited job postings permitted by GJS in order to offer candidates a healthy choice when searching for their ideal role.

The sites are all maintained and continuously developed by Optimal Internet. The same OptimalRec technology used by GJS can also be implemented to individual recruitment websites to allow recruitment businesses to invest in their own brand and market themselves effectively online – this is the Managed Service offered by Optimal Internet called appropriately ‘OptimalRec’.

GJS website can be viewed at www.gojobsearch.co.uk
