CMPi throws a six to Madgex

Madgex, the job board software specialist, has been chosen to power six job boards for CMPi, a leading international business-to-business media company.

This is the latest stage in Madgex's ongoing international expansion.

CMPi has chosen to move five of its established job boards to the Madgex job board platform after a competitive tender process.

A new security job board will also be launched as part of the roll-out.

The two latest launches (bd4jobs.com and shp4jobs.co.uk) went live on 1 May following the successful launch of building4jobs.com in April.

The remaining launches will follow in June and July.

There is currently a skills shortage in the building and engineering industry due to insufficient numbers of UK graduates coming into the market.

The job sites that Madgex are building for CMPi will ensure that industry employers have the best opportunity to find and attract the skilled workers that they need.

Richard Myles, Recruitment Sales Director for CMPi, commented: "We feel that Madgex will develop clear, strong job sites for us that focus highly on usability for recruiters and job seekers alike.

"Our aim is to offer our clients the best solution to reach the available candidates in our markets and to ensure our job seekers benefit from the easiest methods of finding their next job.

"Having looked into the options, Madgex offered the most cost-effective solution to meet this aim".

James Burton, Sales Director at Madgex, added: "We are delighted to be working with CMPi as part of our strategy to become the trusted supplier of choice for outsourced job board software solutions globally.

"The CMPi network of sites will benefit from the latest advances in user experience, driving job seeker attraction and conversion while also engaging with the recruiter community.

"This roll-out is the first of many as part of a long-term strategic partnership where we aim to continually evolve our platform and provide ongoing revenue generating tools for CMPi".
