Terms & Conditions

We have two press publications for recruitment advertising. Rates are the same for both but they have distinctly different audiences, see each for additional options to enhance your advert. 

CJS Weekly is the only publication where paid postitions may be advertised free of charge.

If you have an available budget for your advert and if the deadlines fit we would always recommend CJS Monthly.

For all adverts, unless otherwise specified, please send your copy by email to ranger@ countryside-jobs.com; we reply quite promptly so if you've not received a response within one working day please contact us again. Online submission options are mentioned and links are supplied. For more about sending us your advert click here.
