Job market tanks but outlook improves - Trade Me


Trade Me Jobs have come out with another release about the job market, this time how the market has tanked. With the jobs market listings online being hotly contested, and a lack of listings, it is no surprise Trade Me are making an effort to get their name out in the market.

Seek are still out in front in unique users. I wonder if Seek are short on listings too?

Last month Trade Me made some spin about how they had more page impressions in their jobs section and Seek came back with stats about unique users which showed up some strong differences in interpretation and the spin both Seek and Trade Me were using to try to show themselves as leaders in the market place.

Seeks 750,000 unique visitors (14.5 million page impressions and 510,000 un-duplicated on Trade Me) vs Trade Me's 15 million domestic page impressions(no numbers about unique visitors published). Either way its huge for both.
