stvjobs.com has formed a new partnership with COSLA (the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities) to to help build the profile of public sector recruitment advertising in the online market.  COSLA is the public body  which represents all Scottish local authorities.

Working in conjunction with COSLA, stvjobs.com will carry up to 1000 public sector jobs from 14 September. As part of the partnership, STV is able to offer a unique proposition by combining both online and dual-branded television advertising.  

With over four million viewers per month and a fast-growing online business, STV is well placed to promote the initiative to maximum effect across both platforms.  You can watch the specially created on-air advertisement here; it will start running on STV from 15 September.

stvjobs.com launched in February this year. It provides the tools for Scottish job seekers to showcase themselves and already hosts thousands of jobs right across Scotland.

Developed by STV in partnership with respected technology partner Madgex, the site offers outstanding functionality, performance, design and usability to provide job seekers with the best possible user experience.  stvjobs.com introduces a new world-class service to both advertisers and job seekers.

Mike Ferguson, head of classified at STV, said: “We’re delighted to be working with COSLA to help them greater utilise the online classified arena. 

"stvjobs.com is a new, comprehensive jobs platform with the weight of the STV brand behind it and we’re confident that we have the reach and brand recognition to help make this initiative a success.  stvjobs.com is a very young business and it’s testament to how quickly we’ve grown over the past six months that COSLA have chosen to work in partnership with us on this project.”
