Three and easy with HiJobs
As the song goes – ‘three is the magic number’ – and that has never been truer than the 3.0 release from HiJobs, Scotland’s fastest growing recruitment website.
Over the past eight years HiJobs has become the go-to site for job seekers trying to find the perfect job in the perfect location, combining cutting-edge technology with a forensic understanding of the Scottish marketplace.
Now that technology has just got even better with the release of HiJobs 3.0. As chief technology officer Christopher Snelgrove explained, this is no cosmetic update, but a complete overhaul of the site to make it even slicker for users.
He said: ‘It’s a beautiful new design optimised for smartphone users first. Over 80 per cent of our jobseekers visit from their mobile device, so we’ve made it faster and easier to find and apply for jobs on the go on any device.’ HiJobs has always put the candidate experience at the forefront of their development and nothing exemplifies that more than the decision that the site will carry no adverts.
Christopher explained: ‘Adverts detract from the user experience, they slow things down and add a layer of confusion that does nothing for our customers.
‘We want candidates to have a straightforward, seamless experience.’
Other improvements to HiJobs that come with the new release are a new streamlined application process that allows you to track your application progress and know when it has been read (on selected jobs); and a new career profile builder to make a smart and professional CV quickly and easily, and the ability to keep it up to date and change it to tailor it for specific jobs with a few taps.
It also has the ability to store as many bespoke CVs and supporting files for applications as you need and upload from Cloud drives or your device; save jobs you are interested in to review and apply at your leisure as well as hide jobs that do not interest you; and enhanced filters to allow you make your job search as narrow or as broad as you like and set up alerts as soon as a matching job is listed. The new site is live now, and you can see what all the fuss is about by visiting hijobs.net. There has never been a better time to be looking for a new job and HiJobs 3.0 makes sure that you have never had a friendlier, easier to use recruitment platform to find that perfect job in the perfect location.
