A PILOT scheme to help more North-East jobseekers find work has been launched.
The Candidate Bank is a national project being tested in the region.
An initiative from Jobcentre Plus, it aims to set up a database matching people looking for work with employees seeking staff.
Jobseekers can enter their details onto the website and employers can search through the CVs.
Businesses taking part in the prototype include the AA and GNER.
It is being run from Jobcentre Plus offices in Newcastle, Gateshead and North and South Tyneside.
If it works, the project will be expanded across the UK.
