Highland businesses are being offered the opportunity to try a growing regional recruitment platform for themselves as Highland Jobs launches a new complimentary listing campaign aimed at supporting local employers across the Highlands.
At a time when many recruitment websites now charge well over £100 for a single vacancy advert, Highland Jobs has continued building a simpler and more locally focused alternative designed specifically around Highland recruitment.
Part of the wider The Highland Times network, the platform focuses entirely on jobs, employers and applicants across the Highlands and Islands, helping businesses target local people rather than disappearing into national advertising systems built for scale rather than regional communities.
The complimentary campaign allows employers to place a job advert free of charge for a limited seven day period using the code HIGHLAND7.
Listings on Highland Jobs normally cost £39, with vacancies promoted across the wider Highland Times network to increase visibility among local audiences already actively engaged with regional news, business and community coverage.
The recruitment drive comes as many employers across the Highlands continue facing significant challenges attracting staff while also trying to manage rising operating costs.
For smaller businesses in particular, recruitment advertising has increasingly become another growing expense at a time when margins remain under pressure across hospitality, tourism, construction, care, retail and professional services.
Rather than attempting to compete nationally, Highland Jobs has deliberately positioned itself as a regional platform focused solely on Highland recruitment.
That local focus is central to its wider strategy.
A spokesman for Highland Jobs said:
“We built Highland Jobs specifically for the Highlands because local employers deserve a simpler and more affordable option when it comes to recruitment.
“A lot of businesses are frustrated by rising advertising costs and platforms that are designed for national scale rather than local communities.
“This campaign simply gives employers the opportunity to try the platform properly for themselves and see what it can offer.”
The platform has continued expanding its reach and visibility in recent months as awareness of the service grows across the region.
Alongside standard business listings, Highland Jobs also promotes vacancies through social media and wider Highland Times coverage, helping employers reach local audiences already connected to the Highlands rather than relying solely on broader UK based recruitment sites.
The complimentary listing campaign is available for a limited seven day period using the code HIGHLAND7.
Highland Jobs says the wider ambition remains focused on continuing to build a strong long term regional recruitment platform that supports Highland businesses, employers and jobseekers while keeping recruitment visible, accessible and local.
