Press Release Body: Yorkshire-based investment fund Phase 37 has backed the launch
of a new free Facebook-style website which aims to help young jobseekers in Leeds
and the surrounding areas to find employment.
www.employgo.co.uk is the first site of its kind to specialise in the recruitment
for 16-25 year olds across a wide range of sectors and the whole range of employment
options; full-time, part-time, temporary and permanent.
Following the model of the hugely popular Facebook and MySpace social networking
sites, jobseekers create their free, personalised profiles which they use to apply
for jobs online.
Leeds is the prime city to launch such a site; the city has the largest student
population in the UK and is the biggest commercial centre in the region - meaning
there are thousands of under-25s looking for jobs and the country's major employers
looking for new recruits at all times.
Ed Clothier, managing director of Employgo said:
"The launch of Employgo is great news for employers looking to cut recruitment costs
in this particularly sensitive economic climate.
"The catering and hospitality trades in particular have a high demand for
good-quality candidates across a range of part-time and temporary positions and at
Employgo, we understand how best to communicate with this difficult-to-reach
audience."
There are already plans in place to launch www.employgo.co.uk nationwide following
the launch in Leeds. Other cities in Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Bradford,
York, Hull and Huddersfield will be the first to benefit from the Employgo service.
