Simply Law Jobs celebrates fourth birthday with record results


This week sees the fourth birthday of Simply Law Jobs, the leading niche law recruitment jobs board.

The site was launched in the spring of 2004 and unlike many other recruitment sites that have been launched and fallen by the wayside; SimplyLawJobs.com has gone from strength to strength during this time.

Since joining the Simply Online Services group of jobs boards at the end of 2007 and a subsequent re-brand in January of this year, this success has been even more marked.
There are currently over 15,000 live jobs on the site and nearly 18,000 unique visitors were recorded in March this year.

Clients of Simply Law Jobs are benefiting greatly from the site’s success in many ways. Not only are there more job seekers than ever before (over 10,000 at present) and a growing CV database, but also application rates have doubled month on month compared to a year ago
In addition to this, there are dedicated account managers who are on hand to advise clients and help them get the most out of their recruitment advertising campaigns.

Michelle Jones, Project Manager for Simply Online says "I am ecstatic to see the business doing so well and firmly establishing itself as a top industry player.
“Since Simply Law Jobs became part of Simply Online it has grown dramatically and our client advertisers are certainly reaping the benefits.”

Men are CV liars


According to some latest research, 1 in 10 men lie on their CVs. BackgroundChecking.com quizzed almost 1,500 respondents and found that whilst 12% of men admitted to lying about their job title on their CV, just 7% of women did the same.Likewise, more males were willing to exaggerate their educational qualifications, with 14% of men questioned admitting to falsifying this information on their CV and job application forms, whereas only 11% of women would do the same. Avis Easteal, general manager at BackgroundChecking.com, said: "HR departments need to check every application thoroughly. If people believe they can get away with lying on their CV, then they will. There are serious implications for anyone who employs a person without checking their credentials, whether qualifications for the job, experience or even employment eligibility." For example, the recent introduction of the Immigration Act means that a company can be charged up to £10,000 or even face imprisonment if they employ someone who is not permitted to work in the UK."

Naked Law: Nothing can stop a good Policeman

Nude policeman confronts thief while off duty – yes he was stark naked when a thief tried to steal his wife’s car in the early hours.

Metro.co.uk reports “Faced with the sight of a naked, torch-wielding man running towards him, the offender made a run for it – only to be apprehended by the policeman's (clothed) wife, who grabbed him by the collar. He managed to get away again briefly – perhaps spurred by the fact that a naked guy was ordering him to lie on the ground – but was quickly picked up by some properly dressed policemen shortly afterwards.”
