(2007-2008)I first worked for Grafton Banks, replacing their vacancies system with one that was easier to use. This allowed their staff to advertise advertise jobs on their website quickly and easily. Job searchers can subscribe to their searches using RSS to get the latest jobs straight to their feeds reader. The vacancies system. Then in late 2007 they called me back to make a new site for them, for Legal recruitment. Subsequently, in 2008 their expansion in to Financial recruitment required a third site.
