via the application. It will also feature content from The IT Job Board blog,
blog.theitjobboard.co.uk/, hosted via an RSS feed - providing the
latest industry news and updates.

live jobs anytime, anywhere. The powerful search function enables users to
drill down by location, salary and job title, the geo location finder pulls
back local results. With a simple click, jobs can be shortlisted and sent to

introduce a cross-platform approach to the market."
