Trinity Mirror launches network of local job sites

Trinity Mirror has rolled out a network of local job sites across the UK, as part of the company's growth strategy for digital media.

New sites have been launched covering Merseyside, Cheshire, the South East and the North East, as well as a second site in Wales and a public jobs site for the North West.

The company will complete coverage of its regional markets with the launch in August of another site in the Midlands.

The sites build on two successful launches in Scotland and Wales last year.

The new launches deepen Trinity Mirror's presence in core local markets across the UK and complement its national strength in online recruitment through its involvement in Fish4.co.uk.

The new sites will work in concert with Fish4 (which includes Fish4Jobs, the UK's biggest recruitment website) to strengthen advertiser response.

The local sites offer jobseekers a high-quality job hunting service, incorporating personalisation and search functionality, designed to deliver a quick and precise job search.

Special features include daily email alerts to job seekers, a CV matching service, featured employer profiles and job-related local news to enable candidates to stay in touch with local opportunities.

As well as being able to promote their brands locally, the sites offer recruiters user-friendly management tools.

David Black, Trinity Mirror's Director of Digital Media, Regionals, said: "These sites complement our national strength through Fish4 with real local depth and provide precision targeting for advertisers and job seekers in local markets."

Georgina Harvey, Managing Director, Regionals, said: "Following these launches, we can deliver advertisers an unbeatable combination of the leading local and regional newspapers, the leading UK recruitment site in Fish4, and now the leading local job sites."

The launches are backed by extensive marketing in Trinity Mirror's regional newspaper titles.
