The website received a total of 6,244 job applications on 25 December 2012, compared with 3,266 in 2011. This led to a total of 807,618 applications in December 2012.
The most popular job title searches on the site were for sales and administration.
The stats come as yesterday was dubbed 'National Job Hunt Day 2013'. According to research from recruitment firm Job Bounties, yesterday saw an estimated 11.84 million people looking for a new job.
The research showed that social networks will provide better returns this year than traditional internet searches. It revealed that almost a third of the correspondents said that social media sites, such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter have positively impacted their recruitment process.
James Uffindell, CEO, Job Bounties, said: "Your personal network knows you better than anyone else, and friends and family can be a great source for hunting out job opportunities that are perfect for you.
"The age old saying: 'It's not what you know, it's who you know', has more relevance now than at any other time in the internet age."
