JobStar for the Public Sector

Recruitment advertising media costs, agency fees, search and selection fees - the list goes on. For many public sector recruiters - across the health, local and central government sectors - the Internet is providing the financial answer.

Rather than advertising multiple vacancies in the local (or specialist) papers each week - or turning to agencies to fill the gap, many beacon authorities are creating their own candidate banks online. These candidate banks are then used to recruit permanent and contract staff either using internal resources or by using external recruiters on reduced fees.

Equal Opportunities without the Cost

A key argument for placing media advertisements is equal opportunities - so that everyone has the potential to apply. The answer is to continue advertising but to take much smaller advertisements that focus on the Job Titles, salaries and directions for free public Internet access available at every UK library. Full vacancy details are then shown on your own website along with the online application process.

This provides every applicant with the ability to apply for your vacancy - and for you to build your bank of candidates as every advertisement you create is driving applicants to that central point. Even offline applications can be entered into the system should this be required.
