DUBLIN- February 6, 2014- SkillPages, the world’s trusted network of people with skills, has launched a range of premium accounts to cater for its 21+ million users.

SkillPages turns 21 and goes freemium

The new accounts are designed to suit three main types of users on the freemium platform – service providers, recruiters and job seekers.

While other platforms tend to only support people with white-collar jobs, SkillPages is suitable for all kinds of workers. Almost two-thirds (61%) of its users are in white-collar jobs but over a third (39%) are in other industries such as construction, media, crafts and agriculture. Everyone from a carpenter who wants to find an instant job to a recruiter looking for a mechanical engineer will get what they are looking for on SkillPages.

Head of Product at SkillPages, Stephen Forbes, said: “The launch of our premium accounts marks the next phase in the development of SkillPages as a world-class platform.

“We have a wide variety of users on our platform, from recruiters looking for PHP developers to homeowners who need plumbers, and from accountants who want to move up in the career ladder to cartoonists looking for their next commission. The premium accounts have been designed to give our users a more tailored experience.”
