reed.co.uk Launches £50k+ Site

LONDON, June 29, 2011 -

Leading job board, reed.co.uk, has
launched a new ‘£50k+’ channel to match jobseekers to higher paying
roles.

The new job section features more than 8,500 permanent, contract
and interim roles across 36 industry sectors, all paying a minimum
of £50,000 a year.

Martin Warnes, Managing Director of
reed.co.uk, comments:

“With rising living costs and an economy still shaken by the
financial turmoil of the last three years, jobseekers want to
increase their earnings and it’s no longer just senior management
and executives who can command higher salaries.

“From programmers to project managers, skilled and experienced
workers across every sector are in demand, and employers are
willing to pay a premium. By creating a dedicated area for
vacancies paying upwards of £50,000, we can help match recruiters
with the right candidates whatever the specialism.”

All job vacancies on
reed.co.uk with an annual salary of £50,000 or more will
automatically be featured within the new £50k+ area.

As well as featuring a number of the biggest companies currently
recruiting at this level, with href="www.reed.co.uk/LocalJobs/London,-South-East-England">jobs
in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and across the UK, the new
section also gives recruiters the opportunity to target jobseekers
with page takeover branding.

The new £50k+ initiative is being supported by additional
marketing activity across a range of media, as well as a number of
client incentives.

Warnes continues:

“Whilst reed.co.uk continues to be the UK’s most trafficked job
board, ensuring we reach and meet the needs of candidates at every
salary level is key to delivering the most effective service to all
recruiters.”

The new £50k+ page ( href="www.reed.co.uk/executive">www.reed.co.uk/executive)
has already generated a significant increase in traffic: visits are
up more than 800% on the ‘Management’ section it replaced.
