At Jobsite we’ve just done some research into the effect of a good or bad day at work on your evening at home. You may say that it’s fairly obvious that a bad day will lead to a bad evening, but what’s fascinating about this project is just how much of an influence the wrong job can have on the rest of your life.

More than a third (35%) of workers will take their mood out on their partner and just over one in 10 (13%) will pick an argument following a tough day at work. In contrast, workers are twice as likely to avoid fast food and twice as likely to take exercise – whilst smoke and drink much less after a good day at work.

Making job hunting easier and more enjoyable for candidates is at the heart of what we do at Jobsite.

Two years ago we asked you what you thought about the job seeking process and you answered in your thousands. And it was pretty dis-heartening. For the most part you felt frustrated and isolated during the job seeking process, however your main grievance was the lack of communication by the recruitment agencies. I remember my own days of Job hunting when I was an IT contractor all those years ago and pretty much disliked the process. We felt that something needed to be done to raise the bar and encourage better customer service in our industry so we launched RecruitRank.
RecruitRank is the industry’s first candidate feedback tool (you can find it on the home page) which allows you to feedback anonymously to agencies on the service you have received.
