CareerBuilder and Yahoo! UK & Ireland Launch Career Channel to Help Workers in Grueling Job Market

LONDON -

With unemployment rates climbing to 7.9 percent in the United Kingdom and 12.4 percent in Ireland, a growing number of workers are competing for a smaller amount of available opportunities. Yahoo! UK & Ireland and CareerBuilder.co.uk, a leading online job site in the UK, have teamed up to help workers in the UK and Ireland find job openings as they become available and connect with employers in real-time. The two companies today announced the launch of a free Career channel, powered exclusively by CareerBuilder.co.uk.

“CareerBuilder continues to broaden our distribution network in the UK to deliver more value to our users,” said Tony Roy, Managing Director of CareerBuilder UK. “Bringing Yahoo!’s platform together with CareerBuilder’s job market expertise establishes a high-profile link between employers and job candidates in the UK and Ireland. This is needed now more than ever as nations around the world work toward greater financial health and a revival in the job market.”
