When we come back in January the ukrecruiter newsletter is going to have a whole new look and a different editorial approach. We’ll still be sharing tips, jobs, stats, news and the other favourites. However, instead of just one article each week we’ll be bringing you a cross section of the best articles recruitment related articles out there.
Issue One was sent to around 20 people in January 1999.
In the early days the newsletter was called the “Recruit Net Newsletter” and it came out once a fortnight. The site we looked at in the first issue was CVServe: (which doesn’t exist anymore). This was a recently launched CV Database and Job Board (in those days most sites were one or the other). There were apparently over 45,000 CVs registered in the database and agencies paid an annual fee of £1500 for access to the CV database and unlimited advertising on the vacancy part of the site. Vacancies advertised on CVServe were also placed in appropriate newsgroups (anyone remember them?!). If you placed one of your candidates with an organisation as a result of using this service a fee of £500 was payable to CVServe.999
We also had the start of our current “favourites” even back in issue one and this week’s was the Shell RoutePlanner (which again no longer exists).
If you received this first issue please drop me a note to let me know! The only person who has so far owned up is Camilla Woodhouse.
Since then we’ve made numerous changes but 2013 sees the most dramatic. We start the New Year with issue 582 and if you want to join c30,000 other subscribers you can sign up below (we never sell or share our database with anyone else!).
