View our "How to publish a vacancy" guide.
Lineage Advertisement
Lineage vacancies are the simplest form of advertising on jobstoday. They are simple to use, with easy publishing online or by email. The vacancy will appear as a text advert. Your lineage vacancy will be sent out to all matching candidates on the day you place the advert, using our ‘Jobs-by-Email’ service.
You can check the response to your advert using our free ‘Application Manager’ software or simply receive the applications by email.
Lineage advertisements are advertised for two weeks at a time.
Enhanced Advertisement
An Enhanced Advertisement is a cost-effective, highly-prominent branded advert. It will appear with your company logo which can help promote your company as it can contain a link through to either a Corporate Brochure, a list of your live vacancies or to your company contact details.
These adverts are not only highlighted in the standard search result listings, but also shown in the Latest Jobs' column, doubling the exposure it receives.
Enhanced advertisements are instantly searchable and given high prominence. If several job adverts have an equal match to the jobseeker's search criteria, Enhanced Ads will be shown above standard Lineage vacancies.
Enhanced Advertisements can be submitted over the phone or via email. The vacancy will also be sent out to all matching candidates on the day you place the advert, using our ‘Jobs-by-Email’ service.
You can check the response to your advert using our free ‘Application Manager’ software or simply receive the applications by email.

Promoting your Brand
Featured Recruiter
A Featured Recruiter Profile on jobstoday is an excellent way of promoting your company and building a presence with job hunters. The Profile can be used to talk about the benefits of working for your company, to explain your market and history and to illustrate your corporate culture.
The Profile is promoted in key areas of the website – on a rotating basis on the jobstoday homepage, in the A-Z listings of Featured Recruiters and in the personal ‘My Jobs Today’ pages of candidates who are looking for work in your industry sector(s).
Each Profile is bespoke - designed to match your style and branding and can contain links to your own website and to your vacancies on jobstoday.
Jobs-By-Email sponsorship
jobstoday sends out ‘Jobs-by-Email’ to candidates each night. Emails contain vacancies that match the criteria the candidate is searching on. In addition to the vacancies, there is a sponsorship section at the top of the email, where you can promote your company and vacancies on jobstoday.
To ensure your message reaches the right candidates, sponsorship of ‘Jobs-by-Email’ is targeted on a per industry sector basis.
Filtering tools jobstoday has to offer
Location Permit Filter
The Location Permit Filter is a free addition to your vacancy advertising on jobstoday. It enables you to check the visa status of the candidates as they apply for your vacancy. The filter, which checks their eligibility to work in the location stated in your advert, provides you with functionality that enables you to determine which applications we then send on to you by email.
All applications, regardless of how they answer the question, will still be accessible through your Application Manager in Client Home.
Filtering Forms
If you or your client has a need to ask standard questions of all your applicants as they apply for your positions, this can be done using our Filtering Form(s). Consisting of as many questions as you’d like to ask and including your own company logo, the Filtering Form can be attached to one, many or all of your vacancies on jobstoday.
As candidates apply for your positions they are presented with your form and asked to complete as part of the application. All completed forms are automatically accessible through your Application Manager.
It is also possible to set up Key Questions – enabling you to score your applicants based on how they answer selected questions.
