'When we recently experienced a number of employees leaving our business for well deserved retirement, we decided, after speaking with the very persuasive Greta, to advertise these positions on the Forth Valley Jobs` website. Despite being in its infancy, we were very impressed by the volume and quality of the submissions resulting from both the web page and being featured on the radio `jobspot`. One important benefit was that the applicants all resided within commuting distance of the site. The service provided by FV Jobs was professional and dedicated - Greta maintained a watchful eye on the response levels, making adjustments to ensure maximum exposure for the lower volume hits by featuring them on the radio `jobspot` to raise their profile. A professional service at a cost effective rate with a personal touch, definitely a winning combination!'

'Having developed the ForthValleyJobs website, we were naturally keen to see it working and being used. So when our own vacancy for a web designer needed filling it was an opportunity too good to miss. As a very new jobs site we were unsure what the response would be but were amazed that we received a higher volume and quality of applications than we got from other larger and more costly sites. We now have a very talented new team member who found us via ForthValleyJobs. For the quality of applicants, cost and speed, we will definitely be using ForthValleyJobs for future recruitment.'

'The Scottish Childminding Association placed an advert on the Forth Valley jobs website in May/June 2007. Through the website alone we received a large amount of interest in the post and a high quality of applicants who had seen the advert on the Forth Valley jobs website. The successful candidate applied after hearing the advert on the Forth Valley Jobs Spot on the radio. When further vacancies come up within the association we would consider Forth Valley jobs to advertise this as it was good value for money.'
