Advertising
- The advertising period will vary depending on the position you are recruiting.
- Our minimum recommendation for external adverts is 2 weeks, but it may be necessary to publish adverts for longer for certain job types.
- Your recruiter can provide advice on where and how long to advertise for and help ensure your advert attracts the right candidates for your position. It is free to advertise on the UoE website and this automatically pulls through to Indeed. It is also free to place a standard advert on jobs.ac.uk
Advert text has been pre-loaded into our Recruitment system, the Recruitment Hub. You will be able to view and edit this when you raise a vacancy request. For further information on this, please visit
Guidance on and guidance on can be found on the PS Connect portal.
We have template job descriptions and person specifications for our most frequently recruited to roles. These are available when you raise a vacancy in the Recruitment Hub. For further information on this, please refer to . When using the templates please ensure that you do not make any drastic changes to the main duties and accountabilities as this could alter the grading of the role; making slight tweaks of sentence structure and wording is fine but if you are unsure seek guidance from the recruitment team.
If you are creating a new job description visit the Template Library to help draft an effective job description.
The University is a member of UAG (Universities Advertising Group). The site is provided by the Universities Advertising Group (UAG), a consortium of universities, including the University of Exeter. As founder members of this group we are able to receive advertising on this site free of charge. Jobs.ac.uk aim to post an advert on their site within 48 hours of receipt. Additional logos or enhancements carry an extra charge.
Purchasing of advertising
Depending on the role it may be necessary to purchase additional advertising to publish your advert on other websites to enhance the number of applications of suitable candidates. Please discuss with your recruiter if you wish to explore additional advertising options. Advertising is purchased centrally through the recruitment team and therefore you'll need to ensure sufficient funding is available to cover the advertising costs and provide a valid cost code on your eSR1.
We have an annual subscription with LinkedIn which allows us to publish 9 sponsored adverts at one time. Spaces are limited and available on a first come first served basis, so if you think your position would benefit from being advertised on this platform, please talk to your recruiter.
