Are there existing studies regarding the infrastructure and actual use (by employers as well as job seekers) of the portals? A small number of studies using job portals have been found within the UK. These have been produced by academics, Government, and job portal companies. Referenced below are a number of these studies: Indeed.com blog (ongoing). Available online at: [Accessed 24/6/2016] Citizens Advice (2015). Job adverts How they can be improved for job hunters and recruiters. Available online at: [Accessed 24/6/2016] Davies, K. (2008) Job hunting in the UK the internet: finding your next information professional role in the health care sector and the skills employers require, Health Information and Libraries Journal, 25, 106–115. Capiluppi A, Baravalle A (2010) Matching Demand and Offer in On-line Provision: a Longitudinal Study of Monster.com. In: WSE 2010 Proceedings the 12th IEEE International Symposium on Web Systems Evolution (WSE 2010), Timisoara,17-18 September 2010. Which ones were selected for the pilot study and why? CV_library, Monster, Reed and Total Jobs are part of the pilot study as the UK has access to data by a third party (CEDEFOP, more details below). These job portals have large quantities of job advertisements making them suitable selections. Adzuna (https://developer.adzuna.com/) and Indeed.com () have also been selected for the pilot study because they both have large amounts of job advertisements on their web sites and open API's which makes data collection more efficient. Is there a job portal of the public employment office and should it be considered in the pilot study? Universal job match: https://jobvacancies.businesslink.gov.uk/IndexDwp.aspx. This should be considered in the pilot study as it is a large, easily accessible source of data. List of job portals selected and first experiences with data access (web scraping as well as willingness to provide data? API’s Adzuna and Indeed.com are large job search engines which have open API’s. This enables fast, efficient data collection from these websites.
