comScore's & Hitwise's Top 10 Job Sites

Each week in the ukrecruiter newsletter we publish the Hitwise's top 10 most visited UK recruitment sites.

Once a month we now get the equivalent stats from ComScore.  The plan is for us to publish them regularly on this blog (with a link from the newsletter).  Below are March's figures.

comScore: Top 10 Career Services & Development Sites by UK Unique Visitors (000) – March 2008*

Total U.K. Internet Audience: 33,761
Career Services and Development: 11,099

Jobcentreplus.gov.uk: 2,704
Fish4jobs: 1,795
Totaljobs: 1,631
Monster: 1,418
Reed.co.uk: 1,108
NHS Careers: 996
CareerBuilder: 915
Jobsite: 822
Guardian Jobs: 626
CV-Library: 570
*Unique users aged 15+, excludes traffic from public computers such as internet cafes or access from mobile phones or PDAs

As we don't have a newsletter issue this week (we only do four a month and April is a five week month) the latest Hitwise stats are here.

Hitwise top 10 Recruitment Sites, week ending 19th April 2008

If you are looking to compare these stats the main differences are that ComScore include sites like Fish4 (Hitwise don't aggregate data from sites who form part of a network) and that comScore don't include LinkedIn (they class LinkedIn as a social networking site and rank it under their "conversational media" category as opposed to the "Careers Services and development" category we are seeing above).

Hi Louise - did you publish updated Comscore figures? I'm trying to find out what is happening to jobboard unique visitor numbers at the moment

Hi Louise, do you have any updated figures for either ComScore or Hitwise, as I'm trying to understand market share?

Also, I added up the top ten and they came to 12,585. I'm a bit confused as the segment has 11,099. Am I missing something?

Peter,

Have chased up my contacts and will post updated stats asap.

Not sure about why the figures don't add up - will check that out too.

Regards, Louise
