Safe Jobhunting Online

Jobhunting online is a really effective way to find a new job quickly and easily with thousands of new jobs added to Jobsite every day. There are lots of tools available on Jobsite to help you find the right job for you, including the option to upload your CV.

Uploading your CV to Jobsite’s searchable database allows recruiters to find you with jobs that match what you’re looking for. With 12,000 CVs viewed every hour by recruiters, having your CV live could help you to find a new job quickly and without any hassle. Also, having your CV stored on Jobsite means you can make applications quickly and easily when you see a job that is right for you.

Putting your CV on Jobsite is simple and we hold it securely so it’s safe too. However, there are some important things to think about when writing your CV to ensure that you don’t reveal unnecessary personal information about yourself.

For example, it's normal for legitimate employers and recruiters to ask for details about you, which include:

They may also ask for other qualifications related to seeking employment. However, it is not normal for them to ask for information unrelated to seeking employment. To avoid them using your personal details for other activity always double check that the agency or company who you are applying to are above board. A simple check using the phone book, internet or directory enquiries will help to show whether they’re legitimate.

Never give out any information about yourself until you are satisfied that your details are going to a legitimate employer and never provide the following information in an application form for a job or within your CV.

Any personal information not directly related to employment e.g. birth date or age, gender, hair or eye colour, weight or height, marital status and number of children

Jobsite want to take the pain out of jobhunting for you and part of this is to help you stay safe when applying for new jobs. By taking on board the above advice it will help to minimise the chance of anyone trying to use your details for fraudulent activity.
