A UK First! – Don’t Pay to Advertise, Only Pay for the Response!

After acquiring the ‘www.search.co.uk’ domain name from Search Consultancy Ltd in early January this year, we have created a brand new site and re-launched as the UK’s first ever ‘pay-per-response classified advertising portal site in late January.

Since ‘soft-launching’ this first live ‘channel’ at ‘jobs.search.co.uk on 22nd January, over 20 clients have now signed up for our innovative new ‘pay-per-application only’ service, advertising over 3,000 vacancies and attracting over 6,000 applications.

Since launching our online candidate marketing activity in mid-February, daily users on the site increased by over 140% in the following three weeks, with application levels showing similar levels of increase. In only our first eight weeks over 6,000 candidates have also registered their CV on to our database (which is currently free to all client advertisers, incidentally).

With a no-risk proposition of ‘only pay-per-application’, it’s no surprise the concept has proved popular with agencies and clients looking to reduce advertising costs and only pay for the response the need. Once we add in our unique additional elements like ‘only pay for applicants within 40 miles of your vacancy’, and ‘only pay for the first 20 applications per vacancy, per month’; the usual initial response is, “it sounds too good to be true!”

Well, advertisers like Standard Life, Xpress Recruitment, Change CRS, Cirrus, Redpath Recruitment, Search Consultancy and Anderson Knight now know that it’s very much a reality. Are you still paying up-front to advertise on a site without knowing what the end result will be? Could you benefit from only paying for the applications you actually need? Just contact us and we’ll be delighted to tell you more.
