Job advertising · 4-minute walkthrough

Flat-fee job advertising, explained

Flat-fee job advertising means you pay one fixed price to advertise a vacancy — not a percentage of the salary when you hire. At TalentFinder that is £399 to £599 +VAT per vacancy for a 28-day listing across Indeed, Adzuna, Google for Jobs, LinkedIn, CV-Library, Totaljobs and Jobsite, plus over 100 micro and aggregator job sites, with no commission however much the person you hire is paid. Most adverts are live the next working day after you approve the copy.

Under four minutes: how flat-fee job advertising puts your vacancy in front of the same candidates the agencies reach — written for you, live the next working day after you approve, for one fixed fee.

Clients can draft their own adverts in the ATS, or our content writers write them. The ATS is free to use. Specialist account managers help give every advert the best chance of success.

Three steps, and you read the advert before you decide

Nobody should be asked to pay for words they have not seen.

  1. Write it

    Tell us the role in rough notes. Clients can draft their own adverts in the ATS, or our content writers write them. The ATS is free to use.

  2. See it

    Read the finished advert on screen, before you pay anything. Change any of it.

  3. Choose a package

    Pick how far it goes. Most adverts are live the next working day after you approve the copy.

One flat fee per vacancy — never a percentage of salary. No commission when you hire. Prices +VAT, itemised at checkout.

If the advert runs its full 28 days without a hire, the full advert fee is credited against Premium Hire for the same role (claim within 60 days of close, one credit per role).

Hiring for more than one role? Credit packs run to 8 online and the per-credit price falls as the pack grows — up to 30% off every credit. Credits never expire — buy now and use them whenever you have a role. Bulk and media-buying packages are arranged by phone: 0161 327 2895.

Haven't written the advert yet? Our free job advert generator writes it for you and shows the live local pay band for the job title — no account, and the words are yours whether you post with us or not.

Before you decide, our own numbers are published in full: how many applications a job advert actually gets in the UK, measured across every advert we placed in a year, and the average time to fill a vacancy by sector. Both are free to cite.

Not sure which?

Which package is right for me?

Answer three quick questions — we'll point you to the best fit. Nothing's locked in; you can change it at checkout.

1. How hands-on do you want us to be?

2. The advert copy?

3. Shortlisting the applicants?

The maths

See what you'd keep

A typical agency charges 15–20% of the salary in commission. We charge one flat fee. Drag the slider to your role's salary:

£30,000 salary

Typical 20% agency fee£6,000
TalentFinder£399 +VAT
You keep£5,601

Estimate only — agency commission varies (typically 15–20% of first-year salary). Our fee is fixed per vacancy, never a percentage of salary.

What employers say

Real reviews, from real hires

★★★★★
We have used Talent Finder twice, in the last 12mths and had much greater success than relying on Indeed. I have found them to be friendly, responsive and professional.

We used Talent finder for the first time for a fixed fee to find a Warehouse Specialist. From start to finish the experience was both professional & efficient. … Excellent value for money.

I have been dealing with Louise. She was so helpful and kept in contact, until we filled the position. She always listened to what we wanted and helped us through the process.

Fair questions

How much does it cost?

Standard is £399, Premium £499 and Premium Plus £599 — each +VAT, per vacancy, with a 28-day multi-board listing. There is no commission when you hire.

Which job boards will my advert appear on?

Your vacancy is advertised on Indeed, Adzuna, Google for Jobs, LinkedIn, CV-Library, Totaljobs and Jobsite, plus over 100 micro and aggregator job sites. CV-Library is included on Premium and Premium Plus (posted for the client by our team).

How fast does it go live, and how long does it run?

You approve the copy first. Most adverts are live the next working day after that approval — measured across our own order ledger, the median is 27.7 hours — and every advert runs for a full 28 days. Premium and Premium Plus include a refresh at day 14.

Do I have to sift through the CVs myself?

Only if you want to. Applications land in your own dashboard, ranked and flagged, so shortlisting is quick. Prefer it done for you? Add expert CV screening and our team shortlists the strongest candidates on your behalf.

Can I buy credits for more than one role?

Yes — credit packs run from one to eight online and the per-credit price falls as the pack grows, up to 30% off every credit. Credits never expire, so you can buy now and use them whenever a role comes up. Bulk and media-buying packages are arranged by phone.

What if the advert runs and nobody suitable applies?

If the advert runs its full 28 days without a hire, the full advert fee is credited against Premium Hire for the same role (claim within 60 days of close, one credit per role). Premium Hire is our managed service and has its own separate terms — the advert itself is a self-serve product and carries no promise about the outcome.

Would rather talk it through?

Call 0161 327 2895 and someone who does this all day will pick up.

Or leave your number and we will ring you — usually within the working hour.
