This week sees the launch of Universal Jobmatch, a new online service available via GOV.UK that promises to make matching the right person to the right job easier than ever before.

The site, which replaces the Jobcentre Plus job search tool, allows both jobseekers and employers to add their details meaning jobseekers can find the perfect opportunity for them and employers can find the perfect candidate.

Jobseekers can upload a CV or build a new one to share with any prospective employers. They can also use the CV to search for jobs matching their experience or interests, and they’ll receive email alerts when any new jobs matching their CV are posted.

Universal Jobmatch aims to make the job hunting process easier and more accurate so if you’re working with jobseekers in your centre, why not try it with them today?

You can find Universal Jobmatch here, and a quick Q&A on how the new site will help your learners here.
