How much does the service cost?
Advertising your vacancy on Jobs in Advice is very cost-effective compared to recruitment agencies and other websites. As the web site is dedicated solely to the advice sector you can also be sure that your advert will reach people who are interested in and qualified for the jobs you advertise.
The price for advertising depends on the kind of organisation and whether or not you are a member of AdviceUK. Prices start from just £50 + VAT for AdviceUK members. However - place an advert by 31 october 2009 and, to celebrate the launch of Jobs in Advice, you will only pay £35 + VAT.
What should the advert include?
Please make sure every advert includes
- job title
- salary
- location
- short person specification
- closing date
- main contact details
- methods of application
We can also upload the application pack for you.
Can my organisation’s logo be displayed with the advert?
Yes, it can. Please send the logo as jpg file or as part of the Word document with the advert. If there are any special requirements in displaying your logo please let us know.
How quickly can my advert go online?
In general we can put the advert up within a few hours of receiving it. However, please allow up to 2 working days. As soon as the advert is up we will send you an email with a link to your ad, to confirm it has gone up and for you to check if everything is in order.
Can my advert go live on a specific date?
Please let us know if you have any specific requirements regarding the time your advert should go up. We will try and accommodate you as far as possible.
I have spotted a mistake in my ad, can I change it?
If you notice after we have posted the advert that there was a mistake within the text, then let us know as soon as possible. Please email your changes to jobsinadvice@adviceuk.org.uk and we will amend it as quickly as possible.
Do I have to pay VAT on my advert?
Advertising is subject to VAT, however, an exemption applies for charity advertising. If you are a charity entitled to this exemption, complete and return this form, found at the bottom of this page. Once we have received your completed form we can issue you an invoice excluding VAT. If you are not a charity you need to pay VAT on any advertising placed with us.
I am advertising more than one job, do I get a discount?
If you place three or more adverts with us in one go you get a 50% discount on the third and all following adverts. The discount does not apply to any adverts placed at a later date.
Do you offer the option of advertising all our jobs for a year for a one-off fee?
Yes we do. As each organisations's needs are different, please contact us for more details.
I would like to reach as many active and passive job seekers as possible, do you offer any additional advertising opportunities?
If you are looking at attracting people who might not be actively looking for a job we can also offer to include your advert in the fortnightly email that goes to every member of staff in our member organisations, therefore reaching “passive” job seekers as well. The prices for this service are:
AdviceUK members: £50
Voluntary sector: £75
Public sector: £90
Commercial sector: £150
All prices are exclusive of VAT.
How long will my advert remain on your website?
The advert will appear on our website until the closing date, or six weeks, whichever comes first.
We use an advertising agency, how does that affect things?
Agencies placing adverts with us are charged at the commercial sector rate, so for you it will be more cost effective to place your job advertising with us directly.
Can you help us place our job advert in the media?
Members of AdviceUK get around 20% discount on adverts in the Guardian and have access to a free typesetting service for advertising in other publications. This service is only for members please logon and go to Guardian - TMP.
We are not an advice centre. Can we still advertise with you?
You certainly can! Our service is used a lot by the not-for-profit sector, commercial organisations, local authorities, government bodies and departments and universities.
We are an advertising agency, how do we advertise our clients’ vacancies?
Please contact the membership team at AdviceUK, Contact Us, or email the advert straight to jobsinadvice@adviceuk.org.uk As a recruitment/advertising agency you will be charged the commercial rate of £100 +VAT per advert. We don’t offer an agency discount per se, but we will consider certain price reductions based on the volume of adverts you place with us.
