Gradunet the graduate recruitment website has announced the acquisition of the complete email database of graduate recruitment website graduateexpo.com.
The database was collected between November 2002 and April 2003 and consists of over 150,000 individual records, all with ì@University.ac.ukî email addresses, making it the largest database of current undergraduate jobseekers in the UK.
Recruiters will be able to gain access to the database in approximately two weeksí time, when Gradunet has completed a Data Protection exercise to inform the users of the transfer of ownership, and has integrated the new database into its systems.
Adam Hardy, Managing Director of Gradunet, said: ìThe acquisition of graduateexpoís database is a coup ñ we now have the largest and most recent database of undergraduate jobseekers in the UK, and look forward to being able to offer this resource to our recruitment advertisers. The fact that all 150,000 email addresses are university addresses rather than Hotmail or other disposable addresses simply adds to the credibility of the database. This deal underlines our commitment to growing Gradunetís share of the online graduate recruitment market. î
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
