Press Release Summary: Creativepool publishes 2008 guide to online recruitment

Press Release Body: Specialist UK online creative recruitment site: Creativepool has
just published a Guide to Online Recruitment today to help candidates and employers,
who are yet to try this method of recruitment, decide whether it might be right for
them.

http://www.creativepool.co.uk/reports-register.phpfile=CP_2008_Online_Recruitment_Guide.pdf
the Guide to Online Recruitment presents an impartial view of this recruitment
method, outlining how the market has grown and continues to grow in 2008; some key
statistics on online recruitment usage; how it works; the pros and cons for both
candidates and employers; tips for making the most of online recruitment and a few
handy related links. At the end of the document, there are even recommended creative
recruitment consultants for those who do not wish to pursue recruiting online and
therefore need an offline alternative.

Michael Tomes, Director and founder of Creativepool, says: "The Guide to Online
Recruitment is all about helping to educate the marketplace about the pros and cons
of this recruitment option. Lots of people in the UK are already well familiar with
the concept of online recruitment and many will have even benefited from using a
site like Creativepool. In fact, Creativepool has just registered its 30,000th
candidate - and that number is rising every month. However, we also know that there
are an equal number of people, particularly in the UK's creative industries, who are
yet to get involved in online recruitment and may not know that much about it. We
hope that by providing an impartial overview of the pros and cons of this option
we'll be giving our potential customers as much insight as possible into whether
they should dip their toes into Creativepool or indeed any other online recruitment
site."
