Dear Sirs

There's no such thing as a "Free Lunch"

Having personally worked within both the Retail Sector and within a Recruitment Consultancy, I realise probably better than most how tight the budgets of a small business can be, especially one that's either new or still becoming established. To them, the cost of "traditional" recruitment advertisements or engaging the services of an agency can be at best prohibitive. In fact, I found that generally it was my clients running the smaller businesses that most needed the expertise that a professional recruiter could bring. Unfortunately, they were also often the least able to justify and incur the cost involved. I would therefore like to introduce you to an alternative, www.jobjobbed.com.

Job Jobbed has been launched this week and is the latest of the new-generation of interactive recruitment solutions serving the UK. Marketing for the site has already begun and while predominantly web-based, this will also include traditional publications as well as features on digital TV. We wouldn't want you to think this to be a charitable organisation but the target audience in terms of revenue generation must be the larger Corporate Clients and Recruitment Agencies that are best equipped to pay for such services. Meanwhile, it doesn't actually make much difference who else utilises these facilities, if fact, the more the merrier! We would therefore like to extend to your members and associates the use of the vacancy section of the website on a free of charge basis for at least the next 3 months, longer still if there is sufficient interest from your members. (This offer is currently being extended to all UK Business Links, Chambers of Commerce, Scottish Small Business Gateways, Invest, Northern Ireland and Business Connect in Wales) Apart from being a medium for advertising for workers, the Job Jobbed site contains lots of advice and guidance written from the perspective of a small business and designed to assist in the recruitment process.

I realise that while this is an exciting time for us, your view may be that Job Jobbed has potential but lacks a proven track record. I would not expect to pay for potential and I wouldn't expect you or your members to either! May I simply invite you and your members to visit the site at www.jobjobbed.com and register any employment opportunities which they are looking to fill. Should you have any questions, please feel free to either call contact or e-mail me at the address below. Certainly this is no Free Lunch, but I hope that I have at least given you an appetiser for what is available to your clients.

Yours sincerely

Rupert Ellis
For and on behalf of Job Jobbed Limited
