Important Announcement - Changes to JobFix Employer Product Options

You asked - we listened!

In direct response to growing demand from local employers, JobFix is pleased to announce important changes to our employer product options, effective from Tuesday 13th November 2018.

Key changes to the product offering and pricing are detailed below:

  • JobFix employer product options are now digital-only
  • The total number of product options have been reduced  
  • JobFix postings will no longer automatically appear in the Lakes Weekly Bulletin (print)
  • Discounts, however, are available towards Lakes Weekly Bulletin Situations Vacant ads for most employers who list jobs on JobFix
  • Pricing has been updated and reduced in general
  • Most product options now include multiple job credits - allowing employers to list multiple jobs, or the same job again once the first listing has expired
  • American Express will be added to the credit card payment options available - coming mid-November

Introducing Digital-only Product Options

The most important change to note is that from Tuesday 13th November 2018, JobFix will become a digital-only (online) job board, and printed ads in the Lakes Weekly Bulletin is no longer included as part of the JobFix advertising price.

This change has been made in response to requests from local employers who want the ability to post vacancies online as a stand-alone (online-only) product.

It also brings JobFix in-line with other online job boards, which are available 24/7 to local employers.

The number of product choices has been reduced to just four options and have been updated to cater for the needs of different employers. The price for listing vacancies online has also come down.
