We’ve now improved the search criteria for London, so that you are do not have to enter all the Boroughs individually. This should ease your frustration considerably and improve your job searching.

Thanks for your comment, we are taking these all into account to improve your experience using Jobsgopublic.

Hi Faye,

Thanks for your comment, and yes this blog is a great way to collect and respond to your feedback. I hope you’ve noted that as I mentioned above we’ve added in the search for ‘All London Boroughs’. Just trying to reduce that ‘pain in your butt’ as you put it ;)

Happy blogging.

Thanks for comment, as you may have already read in our ‘announcement’ section, the employer feature will most definitely be returning to search functionality within the site.

In the meantime, you are able to search for specific employer vacancies using the keyword search. The more relevant jobs for that employer will hold the higher relevance and be listed at the top of the page. If you are to then click on ‘employer’ it will sort the list by employer name.

I hope this helps, and rest assured the employer functionality will be returning (by popular demand).

Your site is great for its range of jobs and I made extensive/exclusive use of the “search by employer” function on the old site. I am dismayed to find it no longer exits and find that the search methods now available to me do not bring up as comprehensive a range of potential employers/jobs as I was used to seeing. Please consider bringing this facility back.

Regards

Jane

is it possible to retrieve my saved CV & completed application from the old website????

I am really grateful that you have this blog to enable us to give feedback. There are bound to be teething problems there always are. However, if you implement the suggestions of your regular users this site will be brilliant not just good.

Was wondering if you could please retain some of the old functions of the old site such as giving us the option to search all london boroughs without having to select every single on of them. I how to do this, it’s just a real pain in the butt. It was really easy to do this and just have all the jobs in greater London come up.
Also I don’t find the new site as user friendly as the old one. Primarily because I didn’t know initially how to limit my search to just the london area. My philosophy is if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Could you tell me why you completely changed the look of the site???? Did you have numerous complaints about the way it was??? I preferred it, I find the new design really laborious to deal with as it takes me more time to find the jobs I am looking for. Would you be able to integrate the old with the new? For example on the front page include the refine search menu so one doesn’t have to search in vain for it? It’s really important to be able to refine the search to one main area i.e greater london rather than having to select all of the boroughs. I feel people who may not wish to sign up to your free email alerts may be deterred by this. I use to really like this site for it’s user friendliness. Now I feel there is more pizazz than substance. Please work your magic and restore my faith in this once fantastic site.

My other niggle is that the exact location is not shown on the listing - you have to look at the detail. For jobs at lower grades one might not be willing to traverse an entire county!
