eTaxJobs reports record visitor numbers.

With just over 23,000 unique visitors, January 2009 is the busiest eTaxJobs has been since its inception 4 years ago. The detailed stats are: 16,575 first time visitors, 6,767 returning visitors and 94,604 page views.

Chris Bale, CEO of eTaxJobs said ” I am delighted that our visitor numbers continue to grow year on year. During 2008 we averaged 18,000 unique visitors per month and this jump in traffic represents a 27% increase. There is obviously a correlation between the current economic downturn and this uplift in our traffic. We attribute the rise to tax professionals who have been made redundant and those who are increasingly concerned about their job security.”

“Although we are currently advertising fewer jobs than in 2008 we have witnessed an increase in the number of employers advertising directly, presumably in an attempt to reduce the overall cost per hire”
