Hello all,

Following on from the Announcement on the front page, I wanted a place for anyone to ask any questions about the ads appearing on Boards for Adverts Jobs.

One of the important things is that if you are interested in a job, any submissions you make to Adverts Jobs will have come from them and will not tie into your Boards.ie account in any way - I'm sure most people would prefer to keep their personal account out of work and business!

This is seperate to the Forums, so won't impact on them in any way except that you may see an ad for it.

Please feel free to ask any further questions about it here.

Most ads i look at (IT), do not show salary details. This seems to be the culture for Irish Job ads, but it's something I find very offputting when I consider submitting an application. If an ad is upfront about all the details, experience required, education, skills, and salary. I can tell if I'm suited to the role and apply. If it's a copy paste listing a previous ad, with no salary, alarm bells go off and I'm gone.

What is the privacy policy for Boards Jobs and the requirements of it's customers regarding passing on CVs/contact details submitter through Boards Jobs to 3rd parties, data retention period and so on.

Is data shared between boards.ie, Boards Jobs, Adverts, Deft.ie etc. for any purpose, including targeted marketing etc.

Boards Jobs can differentiate itself, by having a good minimum standard requirement for qulaity, informative, adverts, and by assuring the user of basic protections from abuse of information submitted through it.

I think you should ban commission only jobs as point of principle.

It all goes through an adverts.ie endpoint on boards and on daft ends. the boards/daft jobs is a skin per sé.

I agree with you about Irish employers omitting salary something that irks me as well when I was looking for jobs moons ago.

Nice work adverts.

Just my 2 cents you are missing a section for those seeking internship as i am lol.

But you might say there a place for graduates there but its different from internship.

Nice work on getting the big multinational companies like paypal a few of them are really needed I'm sure you know them and your PR/sales team can get them.

Out of curiosity, how long has the Jobs section been up and running?

Noticed there's over 1,500 jobs on offer at the moment, has it been around a while?

according the the adverts.ie blog http://blog.adverts.ie it was launched in or around (depending how fast they blog these things) on the 22nd of November 2011.

General info / rules for users advertising jobs is here. Please report any rule breaches as you would on boards. All reports go back to adverts.ie mods (afaik) regardless of what site they are displayed on.

I'll start a sticky on adverts support where you can post general questions or make suggestions for new categories etc..

Edit: Adverts.ie & boards.ie /jobs questions & suggestions

Claire is pretty fast on the blog so I'd say that's accurate

I think it's brilliant - a great array of jobs - not quite what I'm looking for yet but a good starting point.

I am just wondering why.....you say so more people see the job listings but those looking for the site would find it through google if they did,nt already know about it.

is it to benefit distilled media.....?
or do you think this will help people find jobs ?

i really dont see the point

Do you mean development jobs listed on adverts (which is what they are announcing here) or development jobs at Distilled Media which runs adverts?

deco_b · 14-02-2012, 08:56

Sorry i meant development jobs at Distilled Media.
