Formed in 1993 by entrepreneur Robbie Cowling and his business partner John Witney, JobServe was the world’s first Internet Recruitment Service.
With the country emerging from the early nineties recession, it was whilst working together as IT contractors that Robbie and John realised how difficult it was to find employment from recruitment magazines advertising out-of-date positions. Working in an environment where everybody used email, they quickly realised the potential benefit of receiving a daily digest of jobs-by-email targeted to their specific job requirements.
On May 4th 1994, JobServe launched as the world’s first ‘jobs-by-email’ service. This was swiftly followed the same year with JobServe’s first web presence – the world’s first recruitment website.
The innovation shown by the founders has remained paramount to the rapid and continued successful growth of JobServe. To this day, the JobServe Research & Development teams, supported by extremely capable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic sales and support teams, are central to ensuring that JobServe remains at the leading edge of online recruitment.
