Simple changes to the design of Universal Jobmatch can aleviate this:
Universal Jobmatch (UJ) is not fit for the purpose for which it was designed: it needs a thorough re-design so that employers cannot post vacancies anonymously - 33% of all vacancies posted on Universal Jobmatch do not exist at all!
Full name and address details for all vacancies must be included, along with a link to the employers' details on the Companies House website - where a role is advertised by an Agency, these details must be those of the Client.
Simple changes that can improve UJ!
