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.

You will be asked to supply your name, address, organisation and contact details, as well as choose a username and password. Click here to be taken to the form where you can enter these details.

Step 2 - submit your advert

Once you have completed and submitted the registration form you will be taken to the jobseeker's control panel. There you can add your advert, add additional logins (for other members of your team) and purchase job bundles. Jobs have to be submitted once you have added them, but post all the vacancies you need to in one go before submitting them. The submission process totals your expenditure and gives you the opportunity to decide how you would like to pay for the advert and to create additional billing details if they differ from your registration details.

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. 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 jobs summary page and in our daily email newsletter 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.

Step 3 - paying for your advert

Once you have submitted your vacancies, 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.

Journalism.co.uk now offers the chance for advertisers to buy jobs in bundles.

Step 4 - publishing the advert

The first time you post an advert there will be a short delay while we approve your details. You will be sent a confirmation email once the advert goes live.

All your future adverts will normally be published immediately, but we may require you to pay for them in advance depending on your location and credit history. If you have advertised before, simply login here using the email address and password you used when you first advertised. There is a password-retrieval link if you have forgotten it.

That's it - very simple. If you have any questions please email: ed at journalism.co.uk or call on +44 (0)1273 384293.
