    Hello,

    I'd like to advertise a London job website
    I have a job website for London and my recruiters only accept uk candidates( i earn 1£ per resume registered)
    I tried adwords but it is very expensive.
    I would like to hire a forum poster but if they are usually from india i think they will not be able to promote on uk forums.
    I found people who want a job in London but they are on website like craiglist and i don't know if i can reach them directly because it will be considered as spam.

    Do you have some ideas ?

    Regards
    Frank

    Did you try http://www.gumtree.com? I don't know how easy/hard to post that type of ads on their site, but it's worth giving a try. They are the busiest UK classifieds.

    I am a paid poster and not from india but anyhow try flyers or ads on london forums...i think ads on london forums would be the best there must be a few big communities revolving about london where you can post a topic.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your replies.
    Qwikad when you mean gumtree.com, they have already a job area in their website so can i post an ad in "job wanted" section ??
    They ask for money if i put ad in "offering a job " so if i post an ad in "job wanted section" they will fire me i think :)

    hi Shole93,

    Thanks for your advice, i think you are right if i am sure that people who participate on these forums are from uk.

    I didn't know that was the case. So, they charge for every ad posted in the job section?

    I think you are right some ads are free, but as a "recruiter", do i have the right to post the jobs to the job section ?

    Frank, just try what you have in mind.

    And try Google placement in the UK since it is a lot cheaper than the general search network.
    Did you try linkedin? A website for recruiters or candidates who are looking for jobs.

    I have a job website too, may be we can do some cross promotion as well since I am focusing a quite unique niche on the market.

    I think i cannot advertise a website in uk without having a company there.
