How to advertise a job on Journalism.co.uk

Step 1 - register with the site

If you are new to the site, you need to register so that you can login to post or amend your job adverts. You will only have to do this once.

All you need to do is enter your email address and choose a password. Click here to be taken to the form where you can enter these details. Additionally, we ask for your name and telephone number so that we can contact you if there are any problems.

You will then be sent an email with a confirmation of your login details.

Step 2 - submit your advert

Once you have completed the registration form and clicked the "Save Member Data" button, you will be taken to another page where you can enter the details of your vacancy.

Top tips to get the best response
We recommend you read recruitment expert Daniell Morrisey's excellent article How to attract and recruit top talent, but here are some general tips that will help maximise response to your advert.

Try to include as much information as possible. If you are offering a good salary, for example, say so. When emailed out to jobseekers, jobs are filtered into different lists according to category (eg "Editors and management", "Production/sub-editors" etc). Make sure your job is included in as many relevant categories as possible.

Submit each job vacancy you have separately. Once you have submitted one vacancy, you can use the back button on your browser (or follow our link) to return to your completed form, which you can then modify and re-submit.There is no word limit for the main job description, but try to keep it short and concise with single sentence paragraphs or bullet points - long tracks of text are a turn-off online. Important key skills and requirements should be outlined at the beginning of the description.

The short job summary will appear on our home page with the job title as the heading, so try to include all the key details in as few words as possible.

Full contact details are not essential, but the more information you give, the better response you will get. At the very least, you should provde a contact name and an email address.

Including your company's web address could also bring new readers to your site.

If you would like your company logo to be included with your advert, please email a GIF or JPEG version (ideally at least 200 pixels wide) to clare at journalism.co.uk.

Step 3 - paying for your advert

Once you have posted details of your vacancy, you can choose to pay online using WorldPay, a secure web payment site. If you prefer, you can provide us with an invoice address and pay within 30 days.

Adverts are £105 +VAT per vacancy for up to four weeks' listing.
