Rightmove
Job Vacancies
The internet continues to offer ample career
opportunities. Rightmove is yet another company that has
prospered due thanks to its online accessibility. This company
is the first in property websites in the UK and helps aid those
shopping for a home or rental property to find exactly what
they need.
Company History
Rightmove was launched in 2000, as an online
company designed to help potential renters or homeowners.
Within one year, Rightmove found itself with a shocking 10
million page view record in just one month. Slowly, Rightmove
plotted out its moves. It started obtaining more real estate
partnerships. It created a service for developers. It also
became the “first property website to introduce charging for
advertising for properties for sale”.
In 2006, after Rightmove appeared on the
London Stock Exchange. At this point, they were charging for
rental property advertising, could boast 337 million page views
per month and had over 10,000 estate agents working with them.
By 2007, Rightmove had obtained participation of 90% of all UK
estate agents, making it the most accessible site for property
seekers.
Today
As you can see, Rightmove is a company that
has only been in business for a decade, yet has demonstrated
incredible growth on its path to success. They took their time
developing positions, not rushing to get everything done at
once. Thanks to this slow and steady growth, those with the
company had the opportunity to grow and develop as well.
Today, Rightmove continues to work to
connect property seekers in the UK with an ideal situation. The
majority of the revenue from Rightmove comes from the strength
of their paid monthly membership fee and the advertising from
their site. As the revenue from the company is generated
through the web, the need that Rightmove has for employees is
typically in the technical sector, with some opportunity in the
account management or advertising acquisition.
Corporate Culture
Rightmove prides itself on being a company
that supports a variety of thoughts and ideas. Suggestions are
welcomed and the honest culture creates a feeling of
friendships and acceptance among employees. The intense,
technical nature of much of the work done at Rightmove requires
a strong sense of work ethic and the employees at Rightmove are
there to work to the best of their ability and gain support in
the areas where they need assistance. In general, the culture
at Rightmove appears to be an innovative, open and exciting
environment willing to promote future growth in its staff.

There is much opportunity at Rightmove for
those with a background in technology. Software development,

obtaining and maintaining these clients is a key part of future
growth.
