Helping employers
We offer employers in Edinburgh help with recruitment and filling vacancies and advice about funding and related subjects. Each organisation contacting employers should be a gateway to all of these services, whether or not they provide them themselves.
Are You An Employer?
Many organisations offer employers help with recruitment, retention and progression of staff. We aim to make this range of services clear and to make using them straightforward. This is set out in our Employer Offer.
• To advertise your vacancies, go first to Jobcentre Plus to get them to the widest audience.
• For more additional help use the Directory to find the right organisation to assist you.
• If in doubt in the first instance contact your local Jobcentre and ask to speak to a recruitment adviser.
