New online directory offers flexible recruitment advertising

A new online directory service called Townandabout.com, has just launched a recruitment section that revolutionises the way recruiters pay for online vacancy advertising. The companyís unique ëAd Credit Daysí (ACDs) enable recruiters to advertise jobs in timescales suited to them, rather than paying for one job advert to run for a specific period of time.

The service has been set up after extensive research into online recruitment services in the UK. Research has shown that most advertised vacancies receive around 75% of total applications within the first three to seven days. However, recruiters have to pay for the specific duration of an advert and vacancy closing dates can slow down the interviewing process.

To overcome this problem, Townandabout.com are offering a service that takes away the risk associated with online recruitment advertising whereby one ACD credit can be used to advertise one vacancy for one day. There are no time limits or limits on the number of vacancies posted and unused ACDs are re-credited into an account for future use. ACDs cost from as little as 1 per day.

Vacancy adverts and ACDs are managed using a simple Client Control Panel where you can place, extend, renew, modify and withdraw adverts at the touch of a button, in real time. The company also offers recruiters:

Free unlimited CV searches (subject to a positive ACD balance and at least one live job advert)
Company profile and logo on every advert
Integrated links with PeopleGenie and CastleLinks, allowing automatic vacancy posting
Try before you buy ñ 250 free ACDs on opening a new account.

Townandabout.com is the UKís fasting growing online directory. It already has over 70,000 visitors a day and is ranked just under 10,000th in the world. The directory is community driven and, unlike other websites, openly publishes its traffic information. Visitor analysis shows that the recruitment section of the site attracts both active and passive job seekers, so recruiters are able to attract a wide audience to their job vacancies.
