An independent local newspaper publisher has launched a new national online recruitment platform.

Tindle Newspaper has announced the launch of New Job Today, which aims to serve all of its local news website markets in England, Wales and the Isle of Man.

The site has been built in partnership with recruitment platform designer HotLizard and allows advertisers to upload vacancies themselves.

The new board is being promoted to both recruiters and readers by Tindle’s commercial team.

Tindle managing director Scott Wood said: “Each of the local news websites we operate at Tindle provides a valuable service to both the local population and the businesses in these areas that serve them.

“We are proud to introduce our new job board which will provide a valuable service in each of our markets with its full self-serve capabilities.

“We have been impressed with speed, professionalism and efficiency of HotLizard in working with the Tindle digital and operations team and are looking forward to making the most of this partnership moving forward.”

HotLizard provide jobs website services to media companies including Telegraph Group, the Midland News Association and Iliffe Media.

Its senior business development manager Jen Wright said: “We are really pleased to be working with Tindle by powering their jobs platform.

“The Tindle Ttam have been very efficient to work with, which has made the quick turnaround time possible.

“We know that our job board platform delivers return on investment and are looking forward to seeing Tindle benefit from the opportunity to grow their digital recruitment revenue.”
