20 Reasons to follow TwitJobs

We're always constantly surprised with the amount of people that are following us every single day - here are 20 reasons we think TwitJobs is so popular:- (in no particular order)

1) We've been built by social media experts. People working in social media in the UK, USA and around the world for many years are the people behind TwitJobs.

2) TwitJobs has 13 profiles on Twitter. Not 100, or 1000's each with a handful of followers but 13 profiles. This makes your job get the best coverage.

3) RT's nobody RT's more jobs than TwitJobs followers - as we actively promote and started the 'RT a week' scheme to help peoples followers back to work.

4) Not just Twitter - we also broadcast and engage across a total of 9 social networks.

5) Expertise. We understand what jobseekers need - and its not just jobs. We provide expert and impartial advice for jobseekers on our blog and post daily updates.

6) Linkedin - Our linkedin group gives people a unique opportunity to network with hiring managers, recruitment consultants and HR managers in the UK. 100s of members have joined already.

7) We have conversations. For us, using twitter and social media is not a one way conversation. Or a one way feed. We engage and talk with people, thank them for RTs and give individual support through DM or @ replies too.

8) Its a new dimension. Social networks like twitter are designed to work with mobile devices. Could you imagine applying for a job on a tradtional site, on a mobile device? Horrible! - we've made it easy - 2 click application process.

9) Realtime. 2009 has and continues to be a tough year for jobseekers. If you are using social media (9/10 web users are) and looking for a job, our broadcasts and conversations can really help. Applying in realtime as jobs are posted is a massive plus.

10) Cost effective for advertisers. Since we launched in March 2009 we've been charging for people to post jobs to TwitJobs.co.uk - Until the end of August 2009 our rates start at less than £2 per day - which is a huge saving on other national job sites.

11) We've got big plans. Online is something, offline is another, and we're planning some fantastic free events and seminars over the next few months working closely with some great educational institutions and experts in the fields to help you back into work.

12) Advertising jobs is EASY. If you're about to post a job to any other site you need to sign up, pay, add details, add more info, add logos etc. We do ALL this. All you do is select the package, make a payment, send us your job description by email. EASY.

13) People like what we're doing! - Yep, its that simple. We've taken the fastest growing internet sector (social media) and made a job site incredibly popular (with over 42,000 twitter followers) in less than 6 months. Some could argue what are others doing?

14) We're transparent. You can see on our site (http://twitjobs.co.uk) just how many followers we have across each profile, how many clicks links get (through bit.ly) and how many new followers we get per week.

15) We are genuine. We're not saying we're the biggest, but we have great performance. On average each job gets approximately 8 applications - these are from genuine UK job seekers who are a good match to the job description.

16) We're not an agency. Although we have some very exciting plans and new products and services that we will be talking about and launching very very soon, we are not a recruitment agency, and don't plan to cover that area. Our speciality is social media - we continue to work on making our presence even greater in the UK.

17) People get Jobs! - The very first person to get a job using TwitJobs was on the bus to the job centre using their iphone. Amazing - but this is where technology is going, realtime, mobile and sharing. Those 3 aspects are what we are really excited about taking TwitJobs further.

18) We are concious of noise! - Because RSS feeds are not our focus, we dont post 3-4 jobs all at once every 30 minutes. We are consciously aware of noise levels and try not to post too often. Just at the right times with the right information.

19) The vision is much larger. We are currently broadcasting across the USA and plan to open, broadcast and engage across many more geographic spaces. We love doing what we do.

20) We don't have any hidden agenda. We are solely owned and operated as a Limited company in the UK. We continue to innovate within this space and continue to grow our UK operation through support and focusing on our core ideals.

Well I could have gone on and on and on! But I think this list gives you a better understanding of what we are all about, and of course gives you 20 reasons to follow TwitJobs!
