Posting Tips and Tricks
Here are some posting tips for you to take a look at, these will help you to complete the fields required within Vacancy Poster.
1. Weekly Hours – This can be left at 35 for a full-time role. 35 Weekly Hours indicates a full-time
position and 16 hours or less is a part-time role. Changing it to 0 (zero) could denote a
part-time role.
NB. On hourly paid jobs, some job boards display an annual salary calculated from Weekly
Hours x Rate Upper x Pay Frequency (eg a 35-hour role paying £10 per hour could show as
£18200 per annum.
2. Rate Lower and Upper – no currency symbols or commas, so £40,000 is expressed as
40000 and £12.50 is expressed as 12.50
3. Pay Frequency – this should reflect how the given salary is expressed (£40000 per year, £15
per hour, £150 per day etc.
4. Region and Alt Location – always choose the most appropriate combination for the role. If in
the ‘Region’ you choose the county, then in ‘Alt Location’ choose the town etc.
Direct Employers should always use a Postcode although this does not apply when choosing something other than the UK or
South Africa as there are no Regions to choose from, only County. In this case Alt Location and Postcode.
If you would like to add multiple locations in the Alt Location field, you can achieve this by separating the values with a comma, e.g. London, Bristol, Manchester. There is a maximum of 3 place names and places must be names of Villages, Towns,
Cities or Counties and not names of Buildings, Streets or Roads.
5. Other Salary Details – as it suggests not all boards support this option, but it does not hurt to add up to 150 character description (inc spaces) something like ‘excellent package plus benefits’ will really to help attract applications.
