London, UK – October 7th, 2018: Jobbio, the careers platform connecting talent and companies directly, has announced a new partnership with Independent.ie, Jobbio will run its jobs section online and offline, bringing classified jobs into the 21st century.
The deal provides readers with a truly digital, all encompassing experience when searching for jobs and expanding the newspaper’s reach to a younger demographic. A quick poll* conducted by Jobbio and Independent.ie found that 30% of job seekers still use paper CVs when applying for roles and 22% still rely on word of mouth to apply for jobs.
As a part of this new partnership, each week Jobbio’s technology will provide INM’s 2.4 million readers with;
- New job listings
- Exclusive editorial content

We’re delighted and excited to be working with such an innovative business changing the way people find employment.”
