50% traffic growth spurt fuels hiring spree in PropertyGuru
Singapore's leading property website looks to grow its team of Marketing, Sales and IT Gurus
Following on from PropertyGuru's recent product launches, PR and branding campaigns, Singapore's leading property website has seen a tremendous growth in visitors to their website and increased membership sign-ups. To facilitate this growth, PropertyGuru will be looking to expand their team of Gurus aggressively.
It has been an exciting H1 for PropertyGuru with recent wins in their new product launches such as the iPhone application which has seen more than 40,000 downloads the first month of its launch. The team has also launched Singapore's first Facebook integration, the first of its kind in Asia, which allows 80,000 property listings on PropertyGuru to be integrated with our property agents’ Facebook accounts. The company also recently released results of a property sentiment survey which garnered huge media attention, covered by The Business Times, Channel News Asia, Capital 95.8fm, Berita Harian, Shin Min Daily News and The Edge. Coupled with the massive outdoor campaign which started in June this year, it is not surprising that traffic to PropertyGuru has increased by almost 50 percent in just the last three months according to Experian Hitwise Singapore (www.experian.com.sg), this further reinforces our positions as the leading property portal in Singapore.
“It has been an extremely busy yet rewarding first half of the year for us. Our ‘gurus’ have worked incredibly hard to launch the sheer number of products and campaigns so far this year, and we hope to grow this base of talents aggressively in the coming months to continue the impressive growth,” stated Steve Melhuish, CEO and Co-founder of PropertyGuru.
With this recent growth spurt, PropertyGuru is looking to expand the team to keep the momentum going. The team has already doubled in strength since the start of this year and the plan is to grow even more. The company will be looking to hire talented individuals in the following roles:
- Marketing Executives and Managers
- Business Developers
- Web Developers
- Photographers
- Sales & Account Managers
- Telesales and Indoor Sales Executives
