Essex-based Company Jobs Direct has launched a new job site www.companyjobsdirect.co.uk which aims to cut out the “middle-man” by only being accessible to employers and jobseekers.

Maxine Stephens, co-founder, said: “Every business needs to save money. Recruiting staff is always risky and you can never be certain it’s going to work out. You hire someone in good faith, they either don’t fit in to the culture of your company or they don’t like it and move on in three months.

“It has cost them thousands of pounds in both time and fees. It is a fact that human capital is one of the biggest investments that any employer will need to make so getting it right and minimising the cost is crucial.”
