Online recruitment agency Recruitment Genius has acquired multi-sector online recruiter iEmploy.net for an undisclosed sum.

Recruitment Genius says it is determined to achieve and maintain an even greater market share and has set itself some challenging growth targets, which will be achieved by the addition of some carefully selected strategic acquisitions.

Recruitment Genius chief executive, Geoff Newman, says: “In our first year of trading we placed thousands of jobs. This is no mean feat and a growth rate we are incredibly proud of. However, we recognise the value, and opportunity, which exists with online recruitment and are determined to stay ahead of the game.

“The acquisition of iEmploy.net enables us to expand our customer base and gain greater profits for our shareholders.
