Jobs for the Academic Community
jobs.ac.uk is a an recruitment website owned and created by the
academic community.
The service advertises job vacancies for academic institutions around the
world. It is an example of the academic community working together to
create something of value and is a venture that the community should be
justly proud of.
In the 15 months since launch, jobs.ac.uk has gone from strength to
strength. The website receives more than 12 000 visitors a day and
provides a free jobs- by-email alert service for thousands of people
around the world. Over 260 academic insitutions now regularly advertise
their academic and related vacancies on the site.
At just 40 pounds per advert, the website provides the academic community
with a cost-effective alternative to expensive methods of recruitment
advertising. Indeed, one institution has reported to us that by using
jobs.ac.uk they have already saved 250 0000 pounds. This is money we hope
will be ploughed back into research and education.
As you can imagine, the majority of the traditional media are still
hostile to us. We have, however, had some success in persuading elements
of the press to be more co-operative. This is partly because they are
aware of the huge support that jobs.ac.uk has within the academic world
and that the service is not just going to 'go away'.
Despite the success of jobs.ac.uk to date there is still much to be done.
The more people academia know about jobs.ac.uk, the more effective it will
become and the more money academic institutions will be able to save.
Therefore, if you have not already done so, I would ask you to do any or
all of the following:
- please visit www.jobs.ac.uk and perhaps register with our jobs-by- email
facility
- contact us at [log in to unmask] and we will provide you with promotional
material for your department or institution
- inform friends and colleagues about the service whether they are in the
UK or overseas
- create a link to www.jobs.ac.uk from any webpages you are involved with
If have any comments or suggestions you would like to make about our
service, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Thank you.
