Dear Sally,
Just to say how useful we found this method of recruiting again. The candidates were appropriate for the vacancy and we have subsequently filled the position quickly and at a reasonable cost.   A very good service, many thanks.  
Ken Davis Technical Director - Hine Labels Ltd.

The advert we had with my sheffield jobs created around 30 enquiries of which we chose several to interview and within 3 weeks had successfully filled the position.  We are delighted with the appointment we have made as a result of advertising with you.
Lindsay Allison,  Fastsigns

We have now filled all our vacancies.  When we need to recruit in the future I will be using your site. Rachel Atkinson, Ask4.com

Hi Sally,
Using the My South Yorkshire Jobs website its a lot cheaper than using the paper and also the other good thing is that we can advertise jobs straight away and not having to wait for the paper to come out. The services that we have received is excellent if we've got a vacancy then we only have to send the job by email and it’s on the website straight away.

'I would like to thank My Job Group for the service they provide in helping people like me in the search for a job. The site brings together recruiters and candidates in a near perfect situation with the minimum of fuss, without leaving my home I have been able to apply for a variety of jobs both through agencies and direct with advertisers. I have found the experience of searching for a job using this method quite relaxed and easy to use, being able to apply online at the click of the mouse once my details were registered, I also received regular alerts to positions which may be of interest to me and suited my skills and experience. I accepted a job which was advertised through an agency (TEK) and also while I was looking for myself I also found a suitable job for my son who wasn't looking at the time but is now very excited at the new opportunity it has given him. I can certainly recommend this site for both recruiters and searchers and hope other people are as successful as I have been.'
John Evans, candidate

Hi Dan, I am pleased to inform you that this afternoon we offered the post of software developer to an applicant who came to us through My Sheffield Jobs. We would like to thank you for your efforts and support, and also state that we would be most happy to use your services again when we are next recruiting.
With kind regards
Cherie Stanley, For and on behalf of STN Limited.

Hi Daniel, Further to our telephone conversation yesterday, I would like to say how impressed I am with My Sheffield Jobs. I was inundated with applications for one of the posts that I was most keen to fill. I am pleased to say that I found my ideal candidate. I will certainly be using the site again.
Rachael Davidson, WINKWORTH ESTATE AGENTS

"Hi Tracey, Just to say thanks - we have now offered the job to another candidate found via your site & he has agreed to join us."
A B, Industry Software Ltd, recruiting for IT professionals www.industrysoftware.co.uk

As the the largest UK owned recruitment communications agency, at Barkers we need to be sure of spending client budget wisely whether using on or offline solutions. MyjobGroup has provided the local geographical impact across the North of England that we and our clients need. The fact that clients as diverse as O2, Sheffield Hallam University, University of Leeds and Ventura have been increasing their expenditure significantly is testament to the return on investment experienced by these clients. And as a digital media solution, whether using myleedsjobs, mysheffieldjobs mymanchesterjobs or mybirminghamjobs we know that not only can we be sure of the highest standards of customer service, but also reach the candidates that our clients are after in an ever more competitive market. We're watching the geographical expansion with interest!"
Alistair, Regional Director

Dan, I have been extremely pleased with the way my advert has gone, and the ease in which I could view applications etc. I managed to place a trainee copier engineer through the advert which most certainly covered my advertising costs for this vacancy. Many thanks for all your help, I will of course use you again for any future vacancies.
Graham, Go-Tec Consultancy

Daniel, Just a quick note to say thank you for your assistance with our recruitment drive.  We have never used a recruitment website for this type of work before, and from looking at the candidates who came from your link, the standard was very good.  This was also highlighted in the appointed a new Graduate who was through myjobgroup. Again, many thanks and look forward to working with you again.
Sarah, Bid Co-ordination Manager, A4E

Hello Tracey, I would like to take time to thank you and your team for your excellent service. We found this a new way of recruiting for us but very effective.  We have recruited four new starters up to now and have two more to interview.  This is a method we would look to use again for future recruitment drives.
Joan Hensman, Menzies Distribution

Dan, Following our recent recruitment advertisement on www.mysheffieldjobs.co.uk  we have completed our round of interviewing and selection.  As discussed, here is the feedback from it.The number of applications exceeded previous recruitment adverts placed in local newspapers - approximately 94 applications. A good response to our 18 hour vacancy.  From previous experience, part time vacancies are a lot harder to recruit to. There was no change in the quality of candidate we received compared to other, more expensive adverts.The recruiters area on your website was excellent.  It enables us to see the number of hits and applications at a glance - something you cannot do when using other forms of media to advertise. Very cost effective - approximately 90% cheaper than the press for 2 weeks for 4 jobs is fantastic - A Sheffield Start advert would cost over £4k for just one edition!!!
All in all, a very successful recruitment process - we will definitelty use the website again when any further vacancies arise. Thank you
Richard, Head of Training - Westfield Customer Services

Dear Tracey, I would like to thank both yourself and your team for the efficient and cost effective service you have offered to myself and Sytner in relation to the positions we advertised with my Sheffield jobs. We have now commenced interviewing and I must say the standard of candidate is extremely encouraging and I feel sure I will find the correct new members of my team, and all at a fraction of the cost of a press advert.I shall be sharing my findings with the rest of my colleagues throughout the country, in particular the HR Managers from each division in our company, and I am sure they will be in touch regarding any future vacancies they wish to advertise. Thanks again!, Kind regards,
James Hopkinson, MINI Brand Manager, Sytner Sheffield Limited

Hi Dan, I used your site as we did not get as good a response from our ad in The Star as we had hoped. I found the site easy to use, was able to input a more detailed job description than in The Star, it was far cheaper and the responses were obviously received much quicker.  More importantly,we have successfully recruited from one of these candidates. I will have no hesitation in using your site again should the need arise!
Regards, 
Heather, Fogwill & Jones recruiting for an Investment Co-Ordinator

"Tracey, Just a quick note to thank you for talking me into using the 'My Sheffield Jobs' web page, we have had possibly the best response to any recruitment drive previously tried, the quality of the candidates has been higher than we had previously experienced, and much more cost effective than the usual recruitment companies fees. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this format to other companies as a way of recruiting and will certainly use 'My Sheffield Jobs' in the future. Thank you again, Regards
Pete Howarth, Commercial Manager, AG Group Ltd Visit the AG Group Website

"When I needed staff for our retail managers for our new boutique in Leeds and existing store in Sheffield, we were on a tight budget and even tighter time scale.  My biggest worry was finding good quality managers to run each shop.  I couldn't believe the quality and quantity of response from the My Job web sites.  In just 2 weeks, we were able to shortlist candidates from solely using My Job and it meant that our expansion plan could go ahead without a hitch." 
Julia Gash, Gash

"As a new business we had to make an impact on the market and more importantly on the candidates searching for work and the client's looking to fill their vacancies.
We initially did the usual thing, The Star, Job-Centre and some glossaries in Sheffield.
The result we got was mediocre to say the least. I had met Tracey from 'My Job Group' at a career fair in Ponds Forge at the back end of 2005; she had tried very hard to convince me that her company was the way to go for recognition in our chosen market place and also to have access to thousands of CV's at the same time. Never having used this type of media before, I was, initially, a little cautious. However, eventually, she won me over and I have to be honest I was surprised at the cost. I was expecting £thousands... but for the price of one average advert in The Star I have got a full years access to thousands of CV's and as a plus, I have had client's contact me directly asking for our help to fill difficult vacancies!!!The access to you companies staff is excellent, it's nice that you can speak to an MD of a successful business; usually they are locked away in an Ivory Tower. Glenn answers the bloody phone! How customer orientated is that?Extra benefits of your service come initially in your flexibility to help in situations that are not necessarily part of your service, different sites within your group, and also something both my consultant and I find invaluable: The questions at the end of form when placing a position, these can really sort out the exact selection of candidates, if used properly.An outstanding site, with outstanding service, from outstanding people.
Race will never go anywhere else and I look forward to future developments and working with you in the long term" Thanks
Dave Barber (F.R.E.C), Senior Consultant, Race Business Solutions Ltd

"Daniel, Many thanks for your invaluable assistance, we received an excellent response for our position advertised. The system was very user friendly with excellent help from you, in the initial set-up. The pricing structure in comparison with traditional methods is amazing. I will certainly be recommending your service to other employers. Thanks again."
David Leverton, Works Manager, Charles Day (Steels) Ltd

"Hi Tracey, May I take this opportunity to say thank you for the excellent service provided, I believe it to be great value for money and I am thrilled with the service your company has given me over the past months.  I would be happy to recommend your services as they surpassed all my expectations...."
Many thanks, Howard, Cadbury Trebor Bassett

"Dear Tracy and Diana, Just a quick line to let you know how successful I have found the "My Sheffield Jobs site" As an internet recruiting novice it was wonderful to have a friendly, local voice at the end of a telephone line to prompt me through an already easy procedure, and as for results? I have filled the position with an excellent candidate whom I picked from the 37 relevant, local applicants that I received from the site. I will definitely use you again.  Thanks.
Marisa, Sales Director, The Umbrella Company

"Dear Glenn, I would like to take this opportunity to let you how successful 'My sheffield jobs' has been for us over the past 5 months. We started with a month trial and after that first month we couldn't be without it!! We have filled a larger number of our positions by using this service and would like to thank Tracey for being so persistent in getting us on board and introducing us to this fantastic, time saving and worthwhile site. We look forward to continuing our successful working relationship."
Kind Regards, Khadine Taylor MREC, Branch Manager, Pertemps

"Absolutely Brilliant! I had failed to recruit from expensive adverts in the local papers but managed to fill a sales position from My Sheffield Jobs and a kitchen designer from one of my competitors using My Leeds Jobs. I cannot praise this service enough. I will never use the press again, a local Jobsite is just what we needed!"
I White, Director, Cucine Ltd, filled two positions

"I registered on My Sheffield Jobs after failing to find a job during months of searching. Within days of submitting my CV, I had a huge response and was registered with several agencies, one of which was Search. I was completely looked after and my contact at Search, Jo Allbrighton, was absolutely fantastic making regular calls to update me with possible vacancies. I am delighted to say that I am now a supervisor in a leading City Solicitors and this is all thanks to My Sheffield Jobs. I would definitely recommend using this Jobsite as a way of finding a new career, I'm glad I did!"
Louise Dunks - candidate My Sheffield Jobs, placed by Search

"We have found my sheffield jobs.co.uk a cost affective and excellent way of recruiting staff. Within 1 hour of putting the post on the site, CV's started flooding in. We will definitely use this site again for our recruitment needs."
Stuart Bailey, N.C.T.I. Ltd

"Tracey, I write to say that I found your Sheffield Jobs website extremely beneficial in finding candidates for our recent admin positions. Apart from the obvious benefits in cost as opposed to an advert in the local press, it was the speed of getting applications electronically and being able to interview so quickly for the vacancies which we needed to fill without delay. I can wholeheartedly recommend the service that you provide."
With thanks,
Julie,Procurement Manager, Ncode Ltd

"Dear Tracey, As you know this is the first time we have used the My Sheffield Jobs website. It is also the first time we have advertised a vacancy on-line, instead of going through a recruitment agency or a newspaper. Although I was a little sceptical at first, after the response we received over the weekend and today, I have to congratulate you on a brilliant service. The site is easy to use, and well presented. I also like the idea of being able to change my advert at anytime, and seeing how many people have actually clicked onto to view it. I have already arranged some interviews for next week, and feel confident that we will find the right person for our vacancy."
Regards.
Paul, Eldon Electrical, Rotherham

"We are a dynamic advertising agency and we have used My Sheffield Jobs on 2 consecutive occasions now and have been extremely happy with the results. I would definitely recommend the service, it is easy to use, and the customer service delivered by my contact was excellent"

Since then I have had more calls and CV's from legal secretaries interested in my position and I am interviewing next week!! I would recommend this service to candidates and clients alike, it is very cost effective and easy to use
Sarah Hall - Practice Manager - Favell Smith & Lawson Solicitors

Hi Tracey, is this any good?!! I have used My Sheffield Jobs for the first time 5 weeks ago and I have had a far better response to adverts than when I have used the local paper. Its also 50% cheaper so I will be using the service again as soon as I need to recruit again. Many Thanks
Paul Davis, Professional Security Recruitment

Hi Tracey, I have only been in the Sheffield office for the last few weeks so I have probably not seen the full effects yet but the quality of applicants has been excellent and the site itself is easy to access which is great. Should we find ourselves in a position to recruit online in the near future then 'my Sheffield jobs' will definitely be one that we would use again.
Regards,
Nikki Westwood, Head Administrator, Arcedia Direct

We are a company based in Rotherham and found My South Yorkshire Jobs a tremendous success! We placed an ad on the site for a Sales Order Processor and we received CV's, interviewed and had a lady start with us within 2 weeks!! I would definitely recommend this site to any company looking for similar staff in the South Yorkshire area.
Ken Davis

I have used the website since last October as a cost effective way of recruiting. It has certainly met this goal and every position placed on the site has resulted in plenty of high quality applications. The staff have been fantastic in supporting us and the user friendly site makes updating information straightforward and quick. The statistical information has been invaluable in meeting our recruitment targets. The key drivers for our continued relationship with the site are the low cost, the high speed of receiving applications and the customer service from the team. I would certainly recommend the site to other recruitment managers.
Mark James, Recruitment and Development Manager, John Lewis Plc, Sheffield

"We had tried traditional methods of recruitment advertising but found it expensive and not very effective. We we're recommended my sheffield jobs.co.uk and due to the excellent prices decided we had nothing to lose! Within several hours we received many enquiries for our web design and programming positions. Within two weeks both positions were filled. We couldn't ask for anything more!"
Russell Paul, MD, Website World, Sheffield

Tracey, Just a quick note to let you know how I am getting on with the site - pretty good to be honest and I have been pleasantly surprised. I've had a lot more responses to my job posting than I had anticipated and, believe it or not, the first candidate to apply is now at 2nd interview. In short, I will definitely use my Sheffield jobs again. Thanks again for all your help and excellent service!!!

We have found My Sheffield Jobs to be of great use to our recruitment business. We get a great response from quality, local candidates and being able to advertise all of our jobs for such a competitive rate each month, means we hardly ever have to advertise
elsewhere, saves having to spend huge amounts in the local newspaper!

We have extended our initial month trial of the site, and will plan to continue to use this cost-effective recruitment tool. Many thanks indeed.
