Advertising a job and interviewing candidates

There are a range of options available to you when advertising a job. These include:

• newspapers and magazines
• online job and recruitment sites
• your website and social media channels
• Jobs and Benefits office and JobCentre network
• JobApplyNI.com
• employment agencies

Decide what's appropriate for you

Think about who you want to read the advertisement, how long it should run for, how quickly you want a response, and how much you can afford to pay.

Check the costs - internet sites can be cheaper than advertising in a newspaper - and time the advertisement carefully, eg avoid holiday periods.
