Advertise a vacancy
Post a care or driving job
You pay for applications that arrive, not for clicks, impressions or a slot on a page. Here is how posting works and what you need to have ready.
In short
Send an enquiry, agree a per-application rate in writing, and sign data processing terms. Your advert is then published, people who asked to hear about that kind of work in that area get an email about it, and completed applications come to you with the CV attached. You pay per application received. There is no posting fee and no subscription.
Four steps, and a person at every one
-
1. Tell us what you are advertising
The roles, the areas and roughly how many vacancies. Use the form at the bottom of this page. It takes a minute and creates no account.
-
2. We agree the rate with you
In writing, before anything runs. The figure in that agreement is the figure on the invoice. Nothing on this site quotes a rate, because none has been set yet.
-
3. Terms, and the licensing check
You will receive CVs, so data processing terms are signed first. We also check the vacancy itself against the licensing exclusions, which is a check on the work rather than on your business.
-
4. The advert goes live
Its page exists the moment it is published rather than waiting for a rebuild, so it can be shared and indexed straight away. Applications arrive by email with the CV attached.
What to have ready
- A role in adult social care or in HGV, van or logistics driving.
- Hours, pay basis and the actual location. A vague advert draws applications from people who would not have applied had they known, and under this model that costs you money.
- Your company number and SIC code, for the licensing check and for the advert itself.
- The name of whoever signs data processing terms on your side.
- A cap, if you want one. It is the number that decides your maximum spend on the role before you post it.
We advertise Adult social care and HGV and logistics driving and nothing else. If your role sits outside both, say so in the enquiry and you will get a straight answer rather than a form that refuses to submit.
What you pay
Price per application
[PLACEHOLDER: not set]
No per-application rate has been agreed yet, so there is nothing honest to publish. When it is set it will be agreed with you in writing before your first advert goes live, and it will be the same number on the page and on the invoice.
[NEEDS HUMAN SIGN-OFF] Pricing and advertiser terms are pending owner and legal approval.
You are charged once per application that passes all seven tests below, and never for a repeat from the same person, an advert that had closed, or anything that failed the bot check. Each test can be decided by a machine, which is the point: there is no test of whether an application was good enough, so there is nothing about an invoice to argue over.
- The application form was completed
- A CV was attached
- The advert was live when it was sent
- It came from a distinct person
- It is the first one from that person for that advert
- It passed the bot check
- It falls outside the de-duplication window
Each of those is written out in full, with what it means in practice, on the employers page. It is one definition in one set of words, deliberately, because the same rule written twice in two ways is where a billing argument starts.
What we are not showing you
This site has not launched. There are no advertisers yet, nobody is registered for alerts yet, and no application has ever been sent through it. So there are no logos on this page, no quotes from happy hirers, no response-rate chart and no number of jobseekers, because every one of those would have to be made up.
What you can check instead is how the thing works, which is written down here in more detail than most suppliers put in a contract: what makes an application billable, what never does, what happens to a CV, and the sectors we are not allowed to touch. If you are the sort of buyer who would rather read the mechanism than a testimonial, that is deliberate.
Tell us about the roles
It takes a minute, it creates no account, and nothing is charged by sending it. A person reads it and replies.
Questions before posting
How long does it take to get an advert live?
That depends on how quickly the rate is agreed and the terms are signed, and both of those involve a person on our side rather than a button. We are not going to put a number on it here that we cannot keep, so ask in your enquiry and you will get a straight answer.
Do I need an account before I can post?
An advertiser account is set up once the rate and the terms are agreed. There is nothing to register for before that and nothing to pay to find out what advertising would cost you.
Can I post one role, or do I need a package?
One role is fine. There is no minimum, no bundle and no term commitment, because you are paying for applications received rather than for a slot. If one advert produces no applications, it has cost you nothing.
Is my advert shown to people who did not ask for that kind of work?
It is readable by anybody on the site. The email goes only to people who chose that role category and that area themselves, which is a notification about a published advert rather than an approach made on your behalf.
How many people will see it?
We are not going to tell you, because we do not know. The site is pre-launch, there are no advertisers yet and nobody is registered for alerts yet, so any audience figure on this page would be invented. When there is a real number we will publish it and say where it came from.
