Jobtonic’s referral recruitment website has been recognised as the best innovation in online recruitment for 2007. The prestigious accolade came at the National Online Recruitment Awards with a panel of leading recruitment industry experts having the final say on the winners.
The site earned its nomination during a public vote and won against some tough competition in its category in a year when online recruitment business models have continued to develop apace.
Jobtonic’s recognition as a leading innovator in the industry highlights the fact that referral recruitment is changing the way that companies source talented passive candidates into their organisations.
Commenting on the win, Nick Goldstein, Sales & Marketing Director said “Innovation is just the beginning, we are happy to have a number of blue chip clients on board and a strong commercial model. Referral recruitment is now gaining traction in the UK as more and more open minded recruiters embrace this new approach.”
In its first full year since launch, over 63 thousand people have joined Jobtonic and the current total of rewards available to those successfully matching candidates with positions is in excess of £640,000. Forward thinking recruiters have a total of 2,336 vacancies listed on the site as of today.
