New employment data shows that the number of available jobs dropped by 12%.<\/p>\n<p>Hakan Enver, Operations Director at Morgan McKinley Financial Services said that \u201c<strong>hiring slowed<\/strong> as institutions found themselves in a post-Brexit limbo, but the impact of the referendum was not as aggressive as we expected\u201d. There has also been a <strong>shortage<\/strong> of qualified candidates and a <strong>high demand<\/strong> for qualified professionals which has led to employment numbers being lower than expected.<\/p>\n<p>It is now more important than ever for recruiters in the UK to lead a well-organized recruitment campaign with <strong>targeted recruitment<\/strong> data and <strong>accurate insight<\/strong> in their specific market in order to balance out this disparity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/brexit.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"brexit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/brexit_thumb.png\" alt=\"brexit\" width=\"501\" height=\"271\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The top Job boards in the UK<\/h3>\n<p>Before posting a job listing, it is essential to think carefully about where it will be published in order to get <strong>maximum exposure<\/strong> and reach the target audience. Making the tough decision to post only on a corporate website or to publish on one of the best UK specific job boards, can cost you candidates in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/en\/\">Jobboard Finder<\/a> we have analysed all the best job boards in the UK to bring you the top 5 job boards to recruit British professionals according to online traffic statistics:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/jobboard-indeed-uk\">Indeed.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/jobboard-reedcouk-uk\">Reed.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/jobboard-totaljobs-uk\">Totaljobs.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/jobboard-cvlibrary-uk\">CV-library.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobboardfinder.com\/jobboard-jobsite-uk\">Jobsite.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Whether you are looking for a job or for a candidate in the UK, all of the websites that we recommend have <strong>strong online user traffic<\/strong> and are frequently updated, so are perfectly suited to your search.<\/p>\n<h4>Other recruitment channels<\/h4>\n<p>It is important to keep in mind that the top British newspapers have a large readership so can be a <strong>valuable asset<\/strong> in the recruitment process.
