Choosing a product

Are the volunteer adverts free?

Yes, they are. Basic volunteer ads are free to post. Just log in or register a new account to start posting.

What other products do you offer?

To give your job an extra push, we offer several services to allow you to target a larger number of candidates or more specific candidates (or both!), from Email Advertising to a CV Match Service. Have a look at all of our extra services or give your account manager a call on 020 8939 8430 to hear about your options.

Which package best suits my needs?

It will come down to your recruitment needs. Sometimes you need to reach as many candidates as possible with services like Email Advertising. Sometimes you need to target specific candidates with services like CV Match or Handpicked Emails. Sometimes you need both. That’s why we have cross-posting partnerships with NCVO, LinkedIn and the Chartered Institute of Fundraising. To figure out which will suit you best, give us a quick call on 020 8939 8430.

If I bundle different types of products together, do I get a discount?

Our account managers can also build bespoke packages tailored to your specific recruitment needs. We're here to help you get the most out of your budget, however big or small. Just give us a call on 020 8939 8430.

Multiple ads

Can I buy multiple job ads at once? How many?

When it comes to multiple job ads, the sky's the limit. If you recruit more than twice a year, we offer bundles of 3, 5, 10 and 25 ads to start with. But if your needs are bigger, you can easily go up to 50, 100, 250 and more, saving you up to 65% on the original price. All of our multiple ad credits are valid for 12 months. Visit our multiple ads page to see how much you might save, or call us on 020 8939 8430.

Can I buy mixed packages of job ads?

Yes—you can purchase multiple job ads of the same type or you can mix different type of ads. Call your account manager on 020 8939 8430 and they'll go through your options with you.

How long do my credits last?

All bulk ad credits (starting at a minimum of 3) last for 12 months. If you get to the end of that period and want to renew your ad credits, give your account manager a call on 020 8939 8430.
