I found no notability for this company. SL93 (talk) 23:04, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Seems to be a major recruitment website, with a decent amount of detail in the articles at [1], [2], [3] and possibly [4] (behind a paywall so I can't see it). Dricherby (talk) 00:49, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Did the nom look anywhere but in the existing inadequate article? I found 2001 [article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/4480528/Jobserve-in-the-dock.html] in the Telegraph , and their earlier article on an unrelated issue with the company listed there at the bottom also,as well as [5], and [6] * [7] are I think fairly reliable also, though interview-based.. Most of the several hundred other refs in Google News are undisguised [8] or disguised [9] advertisements. Additional, the site's owner is apparent on the Rich List, & the site was "the first dot com company to be awarded a Queens Award for excellence. [10]. DGG ( talk ) 01:03, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course I did. Geez. Do you honestly think that "I found no notability" means "I found no notability in the article"? SL93 (talk) 01:48, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and (to nom), perhaps consider withdrawing. Topic passes WP:GNG:

Keep per WP:HEY. And, since I'm being oversensitive to people being anywhere near uncivil today (I admit it), I would like to politely remind User:DGG that it is better-faith to assume that the nominator's WP:BEFORE was unsuccessful than to assume that they failed to do it, unless they have a history of it. - Jorgath (talk) ^(contribs) 19:32, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment: Also, although the sources have been added, the article's current state is really WP:UGLY. That thing needs a LOT of work. - Jorgath (talk) ^(contribs) 19:33, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
