UK job sites acquire both UK job posting solutions

Associated Northcliffe Digital (AND) have just announced the acquisition of Broadbean, the UK's leading job posting solution. In 2003 AND acquired Conkers.net, the UK's other job posting solution.

AND is the digital division of the Daily Mail and General Trust and among other things owns a sizable stable of UK job boards including jobsite.co.uk.

UK recruiters and commentators are already expressing their concerns (and here) over a job board business owning the job posting supply chain in the UK. In Australia this is the equivalent of Fairfax or News Digital buying Adlogic and JobAdder. No doubt there will be more news on this soon.
