Edinburgh, 20^th August 2007. Jobtonic, the UK’s leading referral recruitment site now has over 30,000 referrers signed up and ready to tell their friends about jobs. Vacancies now stand a chance of being referred to one of over 1.5 million people within the reach of the ever-expanding site. That’s one in forty of the entire UK population.

The Microsoft-funded study¹ that gives the average number of friends of a person in the UK as 54 cites the rise of social networking sites as being key to helping people stay connected. By leveraging the on and off-line social networks of its referrers, Jobtonic gets vacancies in front of coveted passive candidates. Those already satisfied with their jobs make the best employees but don’t typically read traditional recruitment classifieds on the web or in print.

Jobtonic rewards its referrers for successful recruitment matches with up to £2,000 in cash. Advertisers can set the level of the reward given to the successful referrer providing maximum flexibility.

Nick Goldstein, Sales and Marketing Director, Jobtonic commented “With our reach expanding all the time, it’s great to see the model is working well. Our client list is growing daily and we are focussed on making sure that our eager referrers have plenty of vacancies to tell their friends about”.

Edinburgh, 31^st July 2007, Jobtonic, the leading UK referral recruitment website today launched its unique Publisher Widget. Bloggers, webmasters or even social networking site users can add the widget to their own page and earn a share of rewards if the resulting referrals successfully place candidates.

The widget gives authors a means of monetising their blog or social networking profile page, if one of their friends or readership successfully refers a job onwards, they can be rewarded with a 5% share of up to £2,000 in cash. Rewards vary by position but there are over 1,000 vacancies listed and in excess of £320,000 of rewards available to be claimed.

A small section of web code is inserted into a host page allowing the author to display a selection of jobs relevant to their audience. When a visitor sees a job that interests them, they can click to view the full details and apply or even refer the job onwards to their own friends if they know somebody more suitable.

By giving website owners and bloggers the opportunity of hosting vacancies on their own pages, Jobtonic further leverages their model beyond the realm of traditional advertising and attracts the coveted passive candidate. The best candidates can only be found by taking the recruitment advertising model away from the traditional classifieds model and putting vacancies in front of web users so that they can do the leg work and find suitable candidates in their on and offline social networks.

Nick Goldstein, GM, Jobtonic commented “Our publisher widget represents a major step forward for recruitment widgets. We reward the publisher for the click and reward them again if a referral is made and it results in a hire. 5% of our current top reward of £2,000 is a nice incremental income that any blogger will be pleased to have arrive one day by way of a thank you for prompting a referral!”

Edinburgh, 4^th July 2007, Jobtonic has smashed the 1,000 job vacancies barrier, establishing itself as the leading UK referral recruitment website. Visitors successfully referring positions to friends will be rewarded with up to £2000 as a thank you for finding the right candidate within their social network.

This news comes on the back of the addition of jobs in six new employment sectors last week (Online Marketing, Property, HR, Publishing, Media and Recruitment). With a total of over £365,000 in rewards up for grabs, there has never been a better time to visit the site and see what vacancies match the people in your on and offline social networks.

All of Jobtonic's 1,000+ job vacancies are within the UK giving the site's existing referrers plenty of chances to find a job in their own back yard. Jobtonic now lists over five times more current vacancies than its UK competitor in the referral recruitment market. All Jobtonic vacancies are less than 60 days old.

Commenting on the breakthrough, Nick Goldstein, GM of Jobtonic commented “Hitting the 1,000 vacancy mark shows that recruiters are voting with their feet when it comes to advertising their vacancies.
