The Mail & Guardian Online has announced a partnership with online recruitment group CareerJunction.
The move will give CareerJunction access to M&G Online`s 210 000 readers, as well as help to upgrade M&G Online`s existing job and recruitment offering. The Web site`s jobs section will now piggyback on CareerJunction`s career search tool.
In a statement released this week, M&G Online and CareerJunction said the online recruitment industry is experiencing a boom, with new placements via the Internet growing from 1% to 20% between 1997 and 2003.
"When a recruitment agency places over 30% of its total candidates from services via the Internet, everyone needs to sit up and take note," says Kris Jarzebowski, MD of CareerJunction.
"The M&G Online pulled in about 210 000 readers last month and the jobs section proved to be one of the most popular destinations for our readers," says M&G Online editor Matthew Buckland. "This partnership is all part of an effort to upgrade and improve the M&G Online`s job and recruitment offering for our growing readership."
"The M&G has had a great amount of success in focusing on high-calibre professional, media, NGO, public service and academic appointments, and has to a large extent cornered some of these sectors," says Jarzebowski. "This partnership is paramount in bringing CareerJunction closer to this particular community."
Johnnic and Adcorp Holdings joined forces in June 2000 with the aim of making CareerJunction SA`s largest Internet recruitment portal. CareerJunction aggregates the printed jobs advertised in Johnnic publications like the Sunday Times, Business Day, Financial Mail and Computing SA with the existing online jobs available on CareerJunction.co.za, as well as jobs on Internet search engine Ananzi.
