Guardian To Launch Employment Portal
The Guardian Media Group is to expand its new media interests with the launch of a dedicated employment website. Workthing.com will go live in summer and claims to be the first portal of its kind in the UK.
The service will offer advice and information for both people seeking jobs and employees and businesses looking to recruit. It will carry classified advertising from the Guardian newspaper’s media, education and public sector pages, but aims to eventually cover all industries.
Bob Phillis, chief executive of GMG, said: “Online recruitment is growing at a phenomenal rate. Workthing.com fits perfectly with GMG’s strategy of adapting to markets quickly and professionally, and I am confident that it will be viewed as an invaluable resource both by employers and people seeking to manage their careers.”
