I'm alright Jack -
We hit 10k jobs in jobserve today, the first time since before the 2020 lockdown.
Its still 150% off but it’s well above the 2,900 trough we saw at the bottom of the bear market.Comment

On the subject of Jobserve, how in gods name have they managed to maintain their position as one of the biggest UK job boards?
Their site is appalling: slow, unreliable, dated looks and tech and generally years behind the competition. Same goes for their app which is inexcusable. I know they got in early in 1993 or 94, but it seems like it's barely changed since then.

They are not the only one. It's amazing and rather ironic, how bad many job boards and recruitment firms' websites are. So often even basic things like search functionality doesn't work very well or you can't filter by obvious things like day rate.
