Jobinventory spotlight on TipTopJob

Jobinventory have recently put together a review on TipTopJob for their blog. A series of questions were answered and here is the result of the review....

Today we will take the opportunity to learn a little more about JobInventory ContributorTipTopJob. TipTopJob is a  major job employment site, both here in the United States, and also Internationally.  JobInventory is proud to include all of the U.S based TipTopJob listings within our Index. TipTopJob is unique in that it is actually a network of both generic and specialist job sites. It is this powerful combination that allows TipTopJob to proudly proclaim themselves tobe  the number one International Job Board network for worldwide job search. So, without further ado…

TipTopJob

Hello, and thanks for sitting down with us.

First, to get things started, could you just tell us a little about TipTop Job and what it does?

TipTopJob is an unique network of generic and specialist job sites that cover 83 countries and 61 industry sectors. The group offers services that facilitate a match between job advertisers, employers and jobseekers. In addition to our main website TipTopJob.com, our network of sites include 35 specialist job sites, which can be found listed here: Specialist Job Boards and Job Sites

And what specific type of services/resources do you provide to job seekers?

In addition to our online job search and CV/Resume uploading, we also offer many great advise type services through our Career Centre and affiliated Partners. These services include CV/Resume writing, psychometric/recruitment testing, skills training and development, and more. Check out a full listing of our many job seeker services here on our Career Centre page and here on our Partners page.

Tell us a little about your background -how/when did TipTopJob begin, and how has it evolved over the years?

TipTopJob was launched in 2002 by Michael Dauncey, who is the Chairman of the Company. Anjim Qureshi was the Project Manager and Chief Architect of the system. Then in 2004, in response to marketplace demand for niche job sites, we launched industry specific job sites such as theITjob.com and theSALESjob.

And then we were really off and running,
By….
2012 – Reached 3 million candidates registered on the database
2012 – Voted number 1 for worldwide search
2012 – Reached 1.8 million unique visitors per month
2014 – Reached 500,000 live vacancies

How would you describe the main target audience for the services you provide?

Anyone looking for a new job in any industry sector in any country.

What is it that makes TipTopJob so unique?

We own a network of specialist job sites as well as our generic TipTopJob site. This means that clients benefit from our specialist, niche traffic, as well as from the volumes originating from the generic site. This also allows jobseekers to use whichever of the sites they prefer the look and feel of. Meanwhile, clients benefit by the ability to advertise their jobs across any of our network of job sites, and from using multiple job boards from a single client account. We believe no one else can offer the opportunity to advertise on a generic site AND a specialist job site in just one transaction. We also help clients with International advertising in 83 countries. On our site clients have the ability to advertise for candidates in any country by using our country specific domains (e.g. uk.tiptopjob.com, es.tiptopjob.com, etc.) and jobseekers can register their accounts on the localized site where they are based.

What would you tell millions of job seekers about your service?

We are the number one International job board network, with over 500,000 live vacancies to search through in 61 Industries. We let you know when jobs are registered through our Email Alert system and you can save up to 5 CV’s and cover letter’s in your account to be able to customize applications to specific jobs. We have something for everyone!

What would you like to say specifically to employers?

We are a unique network of sites that can help any recruiter with localized or International job advertising. We can filter applications so those outside of the location restrictions are not sent. We also provide other advertising services including CV search, banner advertising, and email marketing.

Please add anything else you think our readers may be interested to know, or be surprised to learn about TipTopJob.

  • TipTopJob is not just a generic international job board, it allows users to utilize a specialist site if they prefer.
  • TipTopJob can be found on all social networks and has pages on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn to like, add, and follow.
  • TipTopJob is also the founder of National Hug Your Boss Day which runs in August every year to promote good working relationships.

Well, it’s been great learning all about TipTopJob and the many services you provide. Thanks for taking the time to chat with us!

80% truthful when it comes to their CV/Resume

Our recent survey has found that 80% had never told a white lie on their CV or Resume.

Our interest in such a question was sparked by a recent story about students being threatened with jail for embellishing their CVs. According to CIFAS, the UK fraud prevention service, 324 people were actually prosecuted in 2013 for fraudulent applications.

The survey unfortunately exposes 20% who are still admitting to lying. This may relate to a “white” lie, for example, better A level grades or improved job titles or indeed something else more sinister like creating a whole new job role.

Have you lied? Do you know someone who has lied? What was it about? Let us know….

Friday was a great success - we had thousands of pictures uploaded and sent in. We heard Kiss 100 FM having fun with National Hug Your Boss Day and we were interviewed on BBC World Service.

Jobs in Crewe

Only 3% use fans in offices to cool them down

55% of offices are using air conditioning in the hot weather to cool off their employees. 42% open up their windows and only 3% use fans.

Air conditioning, on the downside, blows any lingering colds and bugs around and can spread illness but it is definitely the best option to quickly cooling down a hot and stuffy office. By an afternoon, fans and windows just do not cut it.

Do any of you have disagreements within the office about how cold it gets using air-conditioning? In our experience, those sitting by the air-conditioning always get freezing cold and those sitting further away from it, don’t see the benefits. Sometimes, people are never happy are they?!?
