What makes you stressed at work?

15. October 2014 TipTopJob (0)

Our latest survey asked what people felt contributed most to every day stresses at work.

After asking over 500 people in this survey, we found that most people had “too many demands put on them” at work that meant they felt stressed! 25% of responders selected that contributing factor.

The second most contributing factor was “not enough support” of which 22% of the responders chose.

16% selected “the actual role and content of the job”, 14% “not being heard enough”, 13% “relationships at work” and 8% “changes at work”.

The workplace is a stressful one in everyone’s very busy lives where individuals need to make enough money to pay bills and survive in a tough old world. It is interesting to look into WHAT aspects cause stress for most people but this would obviously vary from individual to individual. Our survey has revealed that the most popular cause of stress are the demands we are faced with at work!

What is making you stressed today?

Job boards first choice when looking for a new job...

17. September 2014 TipTopJob Jobseeker, Survey results (0)

Our most recent survey of around 1000 people over the last 2 weeks asked “When looking for a new job, where is the first place you would look?” The options we provided were; job board, recruitment agency, social network, friend network, direct, newspaper or jobcentre.

Most people clicked “job board” as the first place they would visit when looking for a new job, in fact 36%. “Recruitment agency” came in as the second most popular place to look with 24% of the responses. 13% would use their “social network”, 10% would visit their “jobcentre”, 8% would go “direct” to the employer, 7% read the “newspaper” and 3% said they would use their “friend network”.

We were surprised with the results as with so many more people using social networks today and with their increasing usage, we thought they would take more of the votes than a mere 13%. Recruitment agencies were two times more popular as a first choice and job boards almost three times more popular.

Where would you visit first? If it is a job board, then which job board is your number one?

Jobinventory spotlight on TipTopJob

9. September 2014 TipTopJob Client/Recruiters, Jobseeker, News/Updates (3)

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…

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!

39% think the directive management style is the most motivating

9. June 2014 TipTopJob Jobseeker, Survey results (0)

In a surprising recent survey conducted across our network of sites, we found that 39% of those responding felt that the “directive – do it my way” approach to management was more motivating over any other style. It was the most popular response by 12%.

Second to the “directive” approach was the “participative – everyone has input” which we thought would actually take the first position. 27% felt that was the most motivating.

The “pacesetting – do it myself” approach was the least popular with only 4% of respondents choosing it and the “affiliative – people first, task second” ended up with 6%.

11% chose the “authoritative – firm but fair” and 13% chose the “coaching – developmental” option.

When putting this question together, the obvious answer to what motivates you the most would be the “participative – everyone has input” in our eyes but it seems that people need more direction than that to motivate them at work.

41% use Linkedin as their favoured social network to find a new job

22. April 2014 TipTopJob Jobseeker, Survey results (0)

In a recent poll to find out which social network users favoured to use when finding a new job, Linkedin came out on top. 41% of respondents said they would prefer to use it over Facebook, Twitter or Google+.

TipTopJob’s survey also found that Facebook was the second most favoured social network with 32% saying they preferred it. Twitter was the least popular with only 3% of users using it and Google+, 24%.

Most people are aware that the best way to find a new job is through networking which is why the social networks have become an increasingly popular place to start given that is it so easy and available 24/7. Each of the networks bring their own merits and usefulness to the table but when it comes to looking for a job we wanted to find out what people thought about them.

Linkedin is the most obvious place to start as a professional. It allows you to link in with other people, update your own professional profile, do company searches, contact people and update your own status. It is a “business” network and therefore most commonly seen as the best place to start looking for a new job. Mike Dauncey adds, “Linkedin is more commonly used amongst certain industries like Engineering, IT and higher end roles over those blue collar workers and careers in, for example, the Health sector so it will be more popular for certain industries.”

Facebook and Twitter are more for “social” uses and allow connections of friends rather than just business associates. Although they allow you to follow companies of interest, see job postings, network etc and can be useful for some in finding a new opportunity, Linkedin seems to be the most popular choice still. Google+ is becoming ever more popular given it is a Google product and works in a similar way to the other networks.

Have you found a new job through a social network? Which one? Let us know.
