Strengths
-
Brand
new, SEO friendly and easy to use website. Planned, developed, designed
and testing took almost 2 years.
-
An
unblemished reputation within this large employment region
-
Worked
with over 1,000 local companies and has over 3,500 company contacts within
their sales database
-
100+
client testimonials, including video
-
Fantastic
SEO – number one position under a large number of key words and relevant
phrases
-
68,000
visits to local sites during June 2010 (Google Analytics)
-
The
sites generate between 12,000 – 16,000 applications per month
-
Fully
integrated with all major multi-job postings sites (ie, Broadbean, Idibu,
Kaonix etc)
-
The
sites are currently generating in excess of £20k per month gross whilst
maintaining a low cost base across the business
Future
Growth Potential
-
Currently
they do not sell the CV Database (130,000 CV’s) – This would bring
significant revenue
-
Currently
generate less than 0.25% of revenue from the Public Sector, even with cost
cutting this is another area for growth
-
Have
lost between £4,000 & £7,000 per month from Recruitment agency spend
as a result of the recession but are seeing positive signs these companies
are coming back to the market.
-
Huge
further uplift in terms of SEO and Organic Search Traffic as new regional
sites settle in Google search listings.
-
They
own a premium domain for almost every single town and city in the region
– these domains would be included within the sale.
-
Very
little has been done to promote the website via email marketing, social
media, PR or offline advertising to clients or candidates. It would be the
natural next step for any future buyer
-
Have
only ever had one dedicated full time sales person. A full team could make
significant extra sales. This market still has huge potential from
thousands of local companies not yet using online job boards. They are in
an ideal position to take advantage of this growth

Robin SOLD

The current 3 owners/directors have now moved on to new ventures but have over the last few years established a well acknowledged business which boasts a unique job board with a then expensive but state of the art software package in place. This could be potentially an excellent acquisition for a individual or group of companies that may have keen negotiation ability with the networks due to their potential volume. They may also be looking to add job texting or SMS to their portfolio or even use the software, site for something
similar.
We are looking for a quick and uncomplicated transaction and therefore this business and its assets are available at a very attractive but realistic price.
