I do not think Irish Jobs will last as a business model. It worked great up until a year ago. Two things are against it – the recession and social media.

Think about it – two years ago you couldn’t find a price comparison of the Irish Jobs sites online. Today? It’s a whole different story.

@Hinde – Great to see LoadzaJobs here on JobsBlog as well!

What I did in the price comparison chart was a perspective of the employer. The customer. What I wanted to compare is the entry point – How much to advertise my job?

What we as job boards do is we do ‘Bundles’ on top of ‘Bundles’ – and then we show proudly how a job advertising slot costs ONLY: ‘X’. And the ‘X’ is a fairly small fee.

But in reality the employer has to pay a few hundred euro to get his job advertised with most of the web sites. This is why I like the move Monster and RecruitIreland have made – and followed their example – by bringing the single job advertising to €99. The funnies thing that this move made is that it actually attracted big advertisers – the real spenders.

However you forgot to mention that RecruitIreland and Monster’s €99 per ad is only for 14 days exposure.
A full month advertising on Monster is €290.
Loadzajobs’ €280 is for a full month exposure on the website and includes advertisement on The Irish Independent, The Evening Herald and The Sunday Independent. Loadzajobs is the only Jobs portal that offers online and print advertisement in Ireland.
