"I started using My Bristol Jobs in April 2008 and I have consistently received a good level of high calibre candidates applying for job postings. I have also found the candidate search facility extremely useful in targeting a wider range of candidates. I am very impressed by the wide internet coverage of my job postings and the roles have appeared on many 1st page sites managed by My Bristol Jobs and its' associates. I have subsequently enrolled with Monster, after having had a hard sell on the telephone about national coverage and their 'No 1' presence in the Market. However, quite frankly, the no of applicants and candidate search facilities have not fared well compared to My Bristol Jobs. Therefore, I am convinced that the 'local' attraction that this job board offers is working extremely well."

This is the first time I have used the website to fill a job vacancy and found an applicant within only a few days of the job being posted. Great response from an easy means of Job advertising. Perfect.

As a small locally based agency, it is a great relief to have a job board website which is dedicated to the region in which we work. Our limited budget means we must pick and choose job boards which work well for us and generate a consistent stream of quality local applicants. My Bristol Jobs has delivered this to us with great success. The assurance that applicants are local and thus able to begin work quickly is very important to us as many of our jobs have immediate start dates. In the short time which we have been using it, My Bristol jobs has become an indispensible part of our advertising strategy and provides an unbeaten service for an exceptional price.

I have been dealing with the staff at My Bristol Jobs for over 3 months now and have always been impressed at the speed at which they respond to my requests.They are always courteous, helpful and nothing ever seems to be too much trouble. If you want to speak to someone and they are not available (which is rare), they will always phone back.
The site is easy to use, the job uploading is without doubt the easiest I have come across and we are very pleased with the viewings and applications we are getting through, having already successfully placed both permanent and temporary staff.
We have extended our original 3 month stint for a further 3 months and look forward to continued success with MyJobGroup.

I was in a position where I needed a quick fix to fill a number of vacancies. My Bristol Jobs allocated me an account manager, who looked at my requirements. A campaign was created within my budget that met my needs. The strategy varied from a banner to e-mails sent directly to their mailing list. The ongoing monitoring of my vacancy by the account manager allowed me to step back and get on with other tasks. As a result in 5 weeks I had 5 hires, so a cost of under £100 per hire. One useful function of the site, which makes your vacancy visible to more job seekers, is its search hierarchy. It results in your vacancy being seen regionally and locally e.g. Wales & Cardiff, Bristol & the South West

BB Recruitment has found My Bristol Jobs a very cost effective way of advertising our positions and have already placed candidates sourced via the website! What’s great about the site? Well, you can be very specific regarding location of your vacancies, you are able to choose a few different industry sectors for each vacancy should you wish to and the only candidates viewing this site, either live in Bristol or want to work in Bristol! The after sales customer service provided bythe Regional Sales Manager was second to none. Excellent news all round. My Bristol Jobs is a MUST for Bristol businesses and consultancies wanting to attract quality candidates as well as advertise local vacancies.

As a small local agency we need to be sure of spending our advertising budget wisely! My Bristol Jobs has provided the local geographical impact across the Bristol area that has been needed for a long time. The guys at My Bristol Jobs have provided us with an excellent service. Instead of feeling like they just want your money, they’ve listened and kept in touch regularly just to see how we’re getting on! Most importantly we have received a number of excellent applications for our vacancies and have successfully made our first placement, which has more than paid for the cost of advertising!! We’re always skeptical of new job boards, but so far this one seems to be working and long may it continue!!

Running a recruitment agency is an extremely busy and challenging role, one of the most important things to me is attracting the right candidates. I invest heavily into the internet as I see this as the main source of candidates moving forward. What I want from a website is that it is cost effective, easy to use and the knowledge that I have the support I need at the end of the phone when I want it. I can safely say that My Bristol Jobs have provided that for me. I have only been using the site for 2 months and I have to say the quality of applicant that I am getting through is excellent. This is a site I plan to continue to use for the foreseeable future. I would just like to say thanks to Tim for providing an excellent service.
