Reed.co.uk is calling upon the UK's online recruitment industry to adopt standard auditing of job application figures in order to provide recruiters with simple and effective comparability between services.

Martin Warnes, head of operations at reed.co.uk, says: "Recruiters making decisions about their online strategy need access to independently verified, comparable data. We urge the industry to make audited job applications the norm to ensure effective comparability between services. We believe this level of transparency across the industry is achievable."

The call comes as reed.co.uk announces an independent ABC ELECTRONIC (ABCE) audited figure of more than one million online job applications for the month of February 2007.

Reed.co.uk's February audit recorded a total number of 1,040,725 job applications, 1,409,652 unique users and 48,513,212 page impressions.
