<p /> <p /> <p>Today, many jobs are only advertised on the internet. That's why we
are doing everything we can to give those looking for work the skills and the opportunities
to access them. Universal Jobmatch is a powerful tool for successfully connecting
people to jobs, and it is delivering.</p><p> </p><p>The website launches a public
service into the digital age, allowing people to search for work from their home,
handheld devices, local libraries, as well as the traditional Jobcentre. It allows
employers to match jobseekers to their vacancies and gives our customers access to
a greater number of opportunities. It puts them on an equal footing with everyone
else seeking a new job in the UK. With over 6 million job searches per a day, the
service is clearly popular, successful, and value for money.</p><p> </p><p>At 18 March
2014, there were 507,474 vacancies on the service. </p><p> </p><p>All internet job
sites face the issue of duplicate vacancies. We take this issue very seriously, and
whenever we have a doubt about the validity of a job offer we will intervene, suspend
the vacancy and investigate. If an employer breaches our terms and conditions we remove
their right to advertise. Our continuing removal of such employers or jobs demonstrates
that our system of checks works.</p><p>Since Universal Jobmatch was launched in November
2012, we have removed 1216 employer accounts that did not comply with our terms and
conditions. That figure is equivalent to 0.2% of the total number of registered employer
accounts. </p><p> </p><p>Universal Jobmatch has revolutionised the way we deliver
the public employment service. With over 6,000,000 job searches per day at a cost
of far less than 1 pence each, it represents excellent value for money.</p>
