Free Recruitment Advertising FAQ

JAB for Employers | Post Vacancies | FAQ

What is the Jobs Abroad Bulletin?
The Jobs Abroad Bulletin (JAB) is a website newsletter containing classified recruitment ads for people looking for mostly short term work abroad, volunteer work or to take a gap year. We have also introduced a board for those looking to study abroad. Every month we send a reminder to by email to over 55,000 subscribers that a new issue of JAB is available.

How much does it cost to post a job to the Jobs Abroad Bulletin?
Nothing, it is free.

Why free?
We started JAB to help promote our main website the Overseas Job Centre - it has done the job well. And as the Overseas Job Centre has publicised JAB we've built up a nice upward spiraling number of readers at minimal cost to ourselves for both publications. Secondly, JAB is only as good as the job vacancies it carries and we don't want to place obstacles in the way of employers (particularly small organisations).

How often do you publish JAB?
Once a month.

When do you publish JAB?
Usually on the 22nd of the month. The deadline for advertisements is usually the previous day.

In what format do you accept ads?
JAB is displayed as text only and we only accept text ads.

Is there a word limit to my job post?
Yes, 250 words, though we are pretty lenient about the issue.

Can I post more than one advertisement?
Yes, we'll accept as many relevant ads that we have room for.

Can I post ads to more than one issue?
Yes, advertisements may be displayed in up to 12 issues before renewel is required.

What type of job ads do you accept?
We use the following categories of work as headings in JAB: Tourism, Hospitality & Leisure; Teaching & TEFL; Nursing, Care Work & Childcare; Other Work. We also have a Volunteer Jobs and Gap Year board and one for those looking to advertise courses and study opportunities abroad.

Who reads JAB?
Our core readership is British or European, and aged between 18 and 30, though a significant number are from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Many are based in their home country, while others are already overseas.

My government only allows certain nationalities with certain bits of official paper to work in certain jobs in my country. Should I mention this in my advertisement?
We have an international readership. If, for instance, you are only able to accept applications from EU nationals then we strongly recommend that you state this to avoid unwanted and useless applications. Or try "We cannot help with work visas or permits for non X nationals."

Do you accept and display work from home ads?
Sorry, we don't. We do not feel they are relevant to a readership intent on finding work far away from home in another country.

We'd like to say thank you for using your free services. Can we link to JAB from our website?
Yes please. We would appreciate a link to us if you have a website with a links page. We've provided a suggested text below:
