I would like to say a big thank you to Louise and the Team at My Leeds Jobs for introducing me to their Job Site.Within an hour of me speaking to them my company profile and jobs were live on the internet.The response was quick and the calibre of candidate was very much what I hoped for. So much so that I was successful in recruiting to my role and now only use My Leeds Jobs when seeking new candidates due to the excellent value for money received.
Carlton Ebanks, Jani King GB (05/2008)

My Leeds Jobs partnered us on the Radio Aire Recruitment fair in March 2008 in Leeds City Centre which was a great success, I found My Leeds Jobs to be a great benefit as they e-mailed their existing candidates which drove more traffic to the event on the day itself.
Audra Sloan, Hallam FM and Magic AM (04/2008)

I am am happy with the service I have received from My Leeds Jobs and was surprised by how many applications this has generated. I will definitely use the service again when appropriate.
Tracey Rogers-Thomas, HR Manager, Victim Support West Yorkshire (04/2008)

Having never used on-line advertising before and always used to the traditional Newspaper advertising, to say I was sceptical was an understatement. However, the response was fantastic. The quality of candidates was second to none. In fact the recruitment was harder than ever as we had so many quality candidates to choose from. I would definitely recommend My Job Group.
Hilary Allen, HR Business Partner, UK CAR GROUP (03/2008)

I have worked with Roger and My Job Group for a couple of years now. Roger has always been extremely helpful and ensured that we have utilised the site to it's full potential. He has kept me informed of any changes or new features on the site which enables us to remain competetive within the industy. The candidates we receive through the site are generally of high calibre and we will continue to use My Leeds Jobs indefinately.
Sarah Booth, Operations Manager, LS Personnel  (02/2008)

JHR have been using My Leeds Jobs for just over a year, and have found the customer service exceptional. All the staff at My Leeds Jobs are fast to respond to queries and always very helpful. We always receive an amazing amount of response from My Leeds Jobs – and it is by far our most successful job board for registering and placing candidates. The site is easy to use and very accessible for both candidates and clients alike.
Amanda Parkinson, JHR (02/2008)

Hi Louise,
Thank you for your help in filling in our recent vacancy for a secretary. I found you to be professional, helpful and friendly. We would use you in the future if the need arose.
Sandy Edgar, Director, Tweed Maritime Limited (02/2008)

It is the first time we have used www.mywestyorkshirejobs.co.uk and we have been very impressed with the response. The calibre of candidates has been much higher and it is much more cost effective than using the press.We'll definitely be using the site again for our recruitment needs.
Laura Wilson, Yorkshire Water (02/2008)

I would like to say a big thankyou to Anthony and My Leeds jobs for a cost-effective quality service. The response was instant and we would not hesitate to use you again
Janet McHale MCP Environmental Services (01/2008)


Jamie I wanted to thank you for bringing My Leeds Jobs to my attention.  In the past we have used the paper with a reasonable response for Car Sales Executives to sell our Mini Range, but I am so glad we tried the package you put to us on your website, the response was far better.  In 14 days we received 77 applications which is phenomenal, it was great value for money and exceeded all my expectations.  The service you provided was great and it was brilliant that we could also edit our job half way through if we needed.  The candidate E-Shot that went out was very professional and definitely helped boost the response for my advert.  I will definitely use the site again in the future and would recommend it to anyone else looking at recruiting local people. Thank you.
James Hopkinson, Scotthall Motors, Leeds (01/2008)

HI Louise, With regards to the recent job advertisements placed with your web site, we received a fantastic response and successfully recruited to all positions shortly after the advert came off-line.The process to put the ads on-line was smooth and very user friendly and the cost for the ads was very reasonable.It will certainly be the way we advertise going forward. Kind regards
Sue Briggs,Senior Sales Operator,TNT Special Services (01/2008)

I’d like to say a big thankyou to My Leeds Jobs for providing a cost-effective, quality and indispensable service to recruiters in West Yorkshire. We have recommended mywestyorkshirejobs to many of our Clients in the past and have also recently experienced first hand how well the site works after placing our own advertisement. We received 19 applications from a single job listing and were equally impressed by the quality of applicants coming through. Moreover the service we always receive from mywestyorkshirejobs is second to none, it’s great to know there is always someone interested, knowledgeable and efficient at the end of the phone. We won’t hesitate to use My Leeds Jobs again and will continue to recommend it to our clients.
Lindsay Tonge, Account Manager, Brahm Ltd (12/2007)

We have been using My Leeds Jobs to attract and source candidates for the past 6 months and have found them to be a fantastic source of applicants.  Not only are the job seekers of a high quality, but also possess local knowledge, which can be very valuable for our client base.More often than not, we tend to find that jobsites can be a very impersonal way to attract applicants, however we have been very impressed by the one to one approach in which our Account Manager, Roger Carr, has taken.  So much so, that we introduced My Leeds Jobs to our other offices across the country, and ensure that we recommend them to colleagues and potential users.In addition, Myleedsjobs continue to offer competitive rates, and therefore a sizeable profit on any applicants placed from them.  Overall, we are very impressed by them as a company, and look forward to working with them on a long-term basis.
Lisa Carey,Ritz Recruitment, Leeds (11/2007)

Hi Roger, Further to our conversation I can confirm that from the last advert we had 17 requests for applications, and so far we have received 5 of these back. We have an interview date set for these applicants and as the applications are of a good standard we hope to fill our vacancies in the near future. This is the best response we have had from using My Leeds Jobs so far and I would reccomend your service to other employers.  Should we have a need to readvertise at any time I'll give you a call.
Karen, TACT North, (10/2007)

"After trialling several other on-line job sites, the results of which were very disappointing, Bluetree Appointments has been using myleeds jobs for approximately five months now and continue to find it an extremely effective tool. Due to the high volume and quality of response we usually receive to our advertised vacancies, Bluetree has made several candidate placements which has meant that the site has paid for itself several times over."   
Anthea, Bluetree Appointments (05/2007)

"Terrific response, found it far more productive and cost effective than conventional means of advertising will certainly be using my job group.co.uk in the future".
Paul, The Event Bureau (05/07)

We started using My Leeds Jobs as an alternative to the local press and noticed the difference in response immediately.  The calibre of candidates was much higher, and the quantity of CV’s received was very surprising.  The site is so easy to navigate and the responses even easier to monitor.  Having failed to recruit from expensive local advertising in the past, My Leeds Jobs has proved time and time again that its well worth the money and we will continue to use them in the future for all our external advertising.
Sarah Durham, Recruitment Manager, EMIS (05/2007)

As the the largest UK owned recruitment communications agency, at Barkers we need to be sure of spending client budget wisely whether using on or offline solutions. MyjobGroup has provided the local geographical impact across the North of England that we and our clients need. The fact that clients as diverse as O2, Sheffield Hallam University, University of Leeds and Ventura have been increasing their expenditure significantly is testament to the return on investment experienced by these clients. And as a digital media solution, whether using  My Leeds Jobs,  My Sheffield Jobs ,  My Manchester Jobs or  My Birmingham Jobs we know that not only can we be sure of the highest standards of customer service, but also reach the candidates that our clients are after in an ever more competitive market. We're watching the geographical expansion with interest!"
Alistair, Regional Director (01/2007)

We have used My Leeds Jobs with great success, they are attentive and professional and offer great value for money, and we will continue to use them in the future.
Jo Gorner, Recruitment Team, University of Leeds (12/2006) Leeds University Jobs Page

Daniel, Just a quick note to say thank you for your assistance with our recruitment drive.  We have never used a recruitment website for this type of work before, and from looking at the candidates who came from your link, the standard was very good.  This was also highlighted in the appointed a new Graduate who was through My Job Group. Again, many thanks and look forward to working with you again.
Sarah, Bid Co-ordination Manager, A4E (11/2006) www.a4e.co.uk

Ian, Director, the Book Company (08/2006)

I cannot praise this service enough. I will never use the press again, a local Jobsite is just what we needed!"

Craig again, (05/ 2006)

I write to say that I found your Jobs website extremely beneficial in finding candidates for our recent admin positions. Apart from the obvious benefits in cost as opposed to an advert in the local press, it was the speed of getting applications electronically and being able to interview so quickly for the vacancies which we needed to fill without delay. I can wholeheartedly recommend the service that you provide. With thanks
Julie, Procurement Manager, Ncode Ltd (05/2006)

Reliable, Professional and true to their word!! My Leeds Jobs has provided Sewell Moorhouse with a great service; it is refreshing to work with organisations who deliver on all the promises made. "
Justin Barber, Sewell Moorhouse, Accounting, Finance & Administration consultancy Leeds (01/2006)

I have used the website since last October as a cost effective way of recruiting. It has certainly met this goal and every position placed on the site has resulted in plenty of high quality applications. The staff have been fantastic in supporting us and the user friendly site makes updating information straightforward and quick. The statistical information has been invaluable in meeting our recruitment targets. The key drivers for our continued relationship with the site are the low cost, the high speed of receiving applications and the customer service from the team. I would certainly recommend the site to other recruitment managers.
Mark James, Recruitment and Development Manager, John Lewis Plc (03/2006)

Managing Director, Dynamic Despatch Ltd, Leeds (03/2006)

I was feeling really soul destroyed at Xmas with all the friction in the office, I felt I had no confidence at all. I decided to download my CV and for a period no more than possibly 4 weeks I looked through patiently every evening. shortly after christmas I decided to look on to the site and there was a receptionist job for Ranstad Recruitment Agency in Leeds. I forwarded application and within no more than 10 mins the lady rang me from Ranstad (Lyndsey) wanted to see me asap but was fully booked up I went in my lunch hour on 3rd January 2006 - I was told I could have an interview on Friday at 10.00 - Lyndsey was so kind and helpful took me there and advised me what to say to be positive. I was told at 3.15 I had secured a fabulous job in Leeds. I can recommend this Site to anyone, I didnt think anything would come of it - but in this day of fast living I was able to do this in the privacy of my home with out any pressure and just register for the agency that replied, some didnt reply. What a positive website this is
I AM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED TO BITS - THANK YOU
Liz (candidate) (01/2006)

Hi Phil, as you know, we have just used My Jobs Group website for the first time. We are absolutely delighted with the response we received and the quality of the applicants. Last week we interviewed and the successful applicants will be starting work with us in the near future. We will certainly be using your excellent and cost effective service again.
Kindest regards,
Alan de Vries, Director. National Car Deliveries (03/2006)

An unrivalled service, I interviewed on day three and had a new starter within a week, for a fraction of the cost of the local newspaper. And this was within the 1st month of My Sheffield Jobs being launched

We have found My Sheffield Jobs to be of great use to our recruitment business. We get a great response from quality, local candidates and being able to advertise all of our jobs for such a competitive rate each month, means we hardly ever have to advertise
elsewhere, saves having to spend huge amounts in the local newspaper!

Within several hours we received many enquiries for our web design and programming positions. Within two weeks both positions were filled. We couldn't ask for anything more!"

In short, I will definitely use this site again.Thanks again for all your help and excellent service!!!

We started to use your Jobs site several weeks ago to supplement our recruitment campaign, and have been very impressed with the service received and the user friendly site. We have already successfully appointed one high calibre candidate, and continue to receive regular applicants so expect that figure to increase. We have extended our initial month trial of the site, and will plan to continue to use this cost-effective recruitment tool. Many thanks indeed.
