TotalJobs.com and Scotsman.com have both announced partnerships with government portal MyJobScotland.gov.uk.

The tie-up means 1,000 local authority jobs to join the 3,000 already live on TotalJobs.com  while offering Scotland’s local authority jobs portal a share of TotalJobs.com’s 143,000 monthly visitors.

Nick Goldstein, sales manager for TotalJobs.com in Scotland, said: “The increase in jobs this agreement brings cements TotalJobs.com’s position as the market-leading Web site with the widest choice and biggest reach for vacancies advertised in Scotland.”

It seems that TotalJobs.com won’t be having it all its own way though, with the news that Scotsman.com is also partnering with MyJobScotland.  Michael Johnston, divisional managing director of Johnston Press Scotland commented: “Having recently launched a new pan-Scottish job site, Scotsman.com/jobs, we are particularly pleased to be bringing such a wealth of job opportunities to all the communities across Scotland that we serve both online and through our 47 local and national Scottish newspapers reaching from Berwick on Tweed and Newton Stewart in the south to Peterhead and Stornoway in the north, and all points in between.”

Scotsman.com now claims to be “Scotland’s leading national newspaper Web site.”
