Where else to advertise a job

[cotswoldcs]

We're looking for a full-time shepherd for our 1,000+ flock of mainly NZ Texel ewes. It's a permanent position as our current shepherd is leaving to travel and hopefully work in New Zealand and Australia. He has been tremendous and is leaving after harvest on good terms.

I've put an advert on here on the jobs board but where else would be worth advertising? Looking for advice from anyone who has been through this process recently.

Was it the C .u N. t advert you had on facebook? If so it could be the detail of the wording reducing applicant number

No it was a business opportunity. Have had a really good response tbh.

Which surely makes the £400 cheap, or decent value anyway.

@cotswoldcs , would the NSA weekly email be worth trying?

Contact Katherine at the Exmoor Hill farming Network,

A ad is £25 and goes out to about 600 on a mail list, nearly all farming folk in one of the most sheep populated areas of the country.
Plus on to Facebook I think.

Good track record of matching employers to employess.

I've never actually been an NSA member but this has spurred me into joining, something I should have done before. I could possibly have advertised without but I would like to support NSA and feels a bit cheeky making use of a service I'm not a member of. Thanks Neil.
