Since advertising on HoldtheFrontPage we have had an overwhelming response from applicants with over 40 CVs dropping on my desk in under a week. Next time we need to advertise for a position at News Team, HoldtheFrontPage will be the first people we turn to.

— Ed Chatterton, News Team International

We’ve recently been advertisng on HoldTheFrontPage for a Reporter and had a fabulous response. There have been more CVs than we can possibly deal with and we wouldn’t consider advertising anywhere else.
So many thanks for such an excellent service.

We advertised recently for a reporter and I am really pleased both with the quantity of applicants and – more importantly – the quality. It has made the recruitment process very difficult for us!

— Simon Jones, Editor, Reading Chronicle

The response has been fabulous – as usual HTFP has triumphed again and I have some great candidates in position.

— Melody Ryall, editor, Kentish Times

I’ve had a really good response since joining the HoldTheFrontPage freelance directory. I’ve had several calls purely due to my listing on the site and have more than made my money back.

— Clarissa Satchell, freelance journalist

We have been delighted with the response to our adverts, with nearly 200 applications split between both posts.

— John Young, Evening Times

I had about 50 CVs and from that have interviewed seven and will interview a further eight.

The response has been staggering, more than 60 have written in for the job.

— Louise Poynton, East Surrey & Sussex Newspapers

Just a quick note to let you know we received over 50 applications for the position of Forest of Dean reporter on The Citizen. This is unprecedented – the standard of applicants was brilliant.

— Matt Holmes, The Citizen

I am totally shocked at the deluge of responses we have received from that one ad. We have not yet selected anyone, but we sure as hell have a huge selection from which to choose!

— Blythe Duncanson, Turks & Caicos Weekly News

Just a short note to let you know we were thrilled with the response to our PR advert.

HTFP has provided an incredible financial return on investment, but has also provided me new opportunities to write about new subjects and for different media.

— Nick Kettles, freelance journalist

HTFP has generated over 10pe of all my business this year – more than any other service I have used on the internet. It is a great service, easy to use, and I’ve had a huge response. It has topped the lot.

This is just a quick note to say how impressed we were with the response to our ad for a turbo-hack to join PR Company 72 Point.

— Jay Williams, 72 Point

I put my CV on HoldTheFrontPage and began getting job offers and things were actually happening. I’ve now got a really good position on a magazine who found me through the site.

— Paul White

I also have my CV listed on a couple of other media sites (free ones) and I’ve had no responses from those at all, so I’m really pleased with the response I’ve had from HoldTheFrontPage.

— Karen Steel

I had too little faith in this – the applications have come pouring in and I need them to stop – can you pull the trainee vacancy ad – is it possible?

— Kim Chapman, Editor-in-Chief, North Surrey and London Newspapers

Please can you place the advert again? Many thanks. Your site is excellent and the response from job ads is extraordinary.

Just to say many thanks for the piece. It was all very well written, accurate, and captured the spirit of the event perfectly. I appreciate the trouble you took with it – thanks again!
