Totaljobs is a UK-focused route for publishing a vacancy and distributing it to partner job platforms. To post successfully, create an employer account, select the current ad tier, add a clear role and salary, choose where applications should go, and preview the listing before launch. This guide explains the current workflow and the details that help you decide whether Totaljobs' application flow or your ATS is the better fit. ## Key takeaways - Totaljobs’ current UK rate card is different from the older £219 and £89 figures in this article. The live single-job page lists Pro at £220, Pro Plus at £275, Pro Ultimate at £352, and Pro Campus at £49 before any new-customer discounts shown on the page. - All current single-job products include publication on Totaljobs and up to 450 partner job platforms. Pro Plus and Pro Ultimate add prioritized placement; Pro Ultimate runs for 60 days rather than 30. - Totaljobs’ current recruiter tools go beyond job ads. Totaljobs Recruit says it can create ads with AI, match against more than 4 million profiles, recommend suitable talent, manage applications, and analyze performance. - A clear title, full postcode, salary, job type, must-have skills, and application method are the highest-value inputs. Totaljobs says a full postcode can increase applications by up to 50% and salary information by up to 20%; treat those as vendor-reported directional benchmarks, not guarantees. - [Recruitment software](https://recooty.com/) is the better control layer when you publish to Totaljobs and other boards, need shared screening, or want to attribute a hire. Choose the ad tier for reach, then use the ATS for process quality. Totaljobs can work well when you need UK reach and partner distribution, but the ad tier does not replace a clear role or a responsive hiring process. The steps below show where to enter the details and how to choose the application route.

TotalJobs is one of the UK’s top job boards which is owned by Stepstone Group UK Limited with a presence in over 30 countries. The company claims to have published over 280,000 jobs on its platform, letting companies from different domains connect with the top talent. When you post a job on TotalJobs, it gets shared with its partner job posting sites. TotalJobs has partnerships with brands like CareerStructure, CityJobs, CWJobs, and more.

Once you enter all the required details, click **Register** to get access to the platform’s dashboard. ![Totaljobs](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/media/2024/09/Totaljobs.png.webp) ### Step 2: Select a Plan In case you already have an account, you can simply log in. To post a job, you first need to buy a plan. So to do that, - You need to click on **“Buy job ad”** once you’re on the dashboard once you sign up or log in. This will lead you to the page where it presents the services to choose from. - Select the **“Post a Job”** option under the **“Advertise Jobs”** section. A single job costs **£219** on TotalJobs. In case you’re a first-time buyer, it offers the first job post for **£89**. - Now it will lead to the next page where you can set the number of jobs you want to buy. If you’re looking to post a single one, just click the **“Buy Now”** button. - Now, finally, add the payment information, and make the payment. You can either pay via your **credit card** or through **Paypal**. Once you make the payment, you will get credits to create job ads. Now you’re ready to create and post your job ad on TotalJobs. ![Totaljobs payment method](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/media/2024/09/Totaljobs-payment-method.webp) ### Step 3: Start Creating Your Job Posting Now let’s quickly see how you can create a job ad on TotalJobs: - Go to Dashboard and click on the **“Create job ad”** button to get started. - Now add all the essential job details including: **a) Use a recommended job title** TotalJobs recommends using a clear and relevant job title. Make sure it appears in the drop-down list because those suggestions reflect titles candidates search for. Avoid special characters such as !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, \*, ( ), and similar symbols. **b) An Engaging Job Description:** Write a clear job description that covers skills, experience, responsibilities, benefits, and other role details. Keep it easy to scan; TotalJobs also provides basic formatting options so you can control how it appears to candidates. ![totaljobs create a job](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/media/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-04-at-12.49.49-PM.png.webp) **c) Set the job type:** You can set it either as a permanent, temporary, contract, or part-time job. **d) Job reference:** If you have more than one job, this option helps you to add a reference to keep track. You can try **Recooty’s** [**free AI job description generator**](https://recooty.com/tools/job-description-generator/) to write engaging job descriptions in seconds. **Note:** Add your job title in the job description 3 to 5 times to make it rank better in the search results. **e. Salary Details:** Now, you need to add the salary details. You can either tell the exact numbers, give a range, or mention it as unspecified using the drop-down menu. TotalJobs say – adding salary to a job posting can increase applications by up to 20%. But if you don’t want to reveal the salary then have an option to set it to “unspecified.”Later, add additional salary info such as pension, healthcare, etc. This will allow you to attract more, good quality applicants to your job postings. **f. Add location details:** Now, set the location by selecting the country and postal code. You also have the option to make your job appear nationally or in a particular region for the entered postal code. **g. Contact details:** Add your name, email address, and telephone number or address. **h. Set the job duration:** To do that, select one of the available options. Plus, you need to check your template type among Standard, Feature, and Premium. The template you get depends on the plan you choose. If you want to learn more, you can contact the account manager. \[This is slightly confusing\]A premium template generally helps you get better results. However, it will require you to set up a template in your account. **i. Set job visibility:** Decide, who can see your job advertisement. You can either make it visible for job seekers inside the UK & EU or anyone across the globe. ### Set Application Method ![Screenshot 2026 09 04 at 12.49.29 PM](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/media/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-04-at-12.49.29-PM.png.webp) Finally, it’s time to decide how you want to receive applications. You can either use TotalJobs’ system to receive applications to your inbox or redirect job seekers to another website to apply. With the first option, you can create a list of screening questions to only receive the relevant applicants. If have an applicant tracking system and have job listings set up, you can use the second option to direct candidates to your job post. This makes it easy for candidates to apply. It also helps you gather, organize, and evaluate applications from TotalJobs and other job boards your ATS publishes to, all in one place. For example, [**Recooty ATS**](https://recooty.com/applicant-tracking-system) publishes your job to [**250+ job boards**](https://recooty.com/free-job-posting) which includes top job boards like Indeed, Monster, and ZipRecruiter. ![Post Job on Totaljobs using Recooty](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/media/2024/09/Post-Job-on-Totaljobs-using-an-ATS.jpg) ### Step 4: Preview & Post your job to TotalJobs Now, when you’ve entered all the information, click the **preview** button to see how your job looks and if it has everything on point. If you’re satisfied, click the **Post** Button. ## Recruitment software and Totaljobs: direct application or ATS? Totaljobs combines job ads, partner distribution, candidate alerts, prioritized placement, candidate recommendations, and application management. The main workflow decision is whether Totaljobs should own applications or pass candidates to your ATS or careers site. | Hiring need | Totaljobs route | Best workflow choice | What to measure | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | Standard UK vacancy | Pro job ad | Use Totaljobs application flow if the team can review quickly | Qualified applications and response time | | Competitive role | Pro Plus | Use priority placement, then compare quality with Pro | Cost per qualified applicant | | Specialist or niche role | Pro Ultimate | Pair higher visibility with active sourcing and an ATS scorecard | Interview and offer rate | | Graduate or campus hiring | Pro Campus | Use a clear early-career pathway and structured screening | Completion and conversion by source | | Multi-board hiring | Totaljobs plus ATS or recruitment software | Keep one canonical role, source, stage, and closure status | Cost per hire and duplicate rate | The [current Totaljobs single-job page](https://www.totaljobs.com/recruiters/products/single-job-ads/) lists the live products and says campaign management includes publication on up to 450 additional job platforms. The [Totaljobs Recruit page](https://www.totaljobs.com/recruiters/products/recruit/) describes AI-assisted ad creation, matching against more than 4 million profiles, more than 10 suitable recommendations per job, and application management. Check the account-specific offer before publishing because products and discounts can change. ### Choose reach after the job is clear If the listing gets views but weak applications, fix the title, salary, postcode, description, and application route first. If applications are relevant but the team loses candidates during review, connect the role to an ATS before upgrading the ad. ## Totaljobs pricing and partner distribution in 2026 | Product | Current listed price | Duration | Extra visibility or audience feature | | ------------ | ----------------------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | Pro | £220, new-customer price shown as £69 | 30 days | One recommended campaign notification after 15 days | | Pro Plus | £275, new-customer price shown as £86.25 | 30 days | Prioritized display and two recommended notifications | | Pro Ultimate | £352, new-customer price shown as £110.40 | 60 days | Prioritized display and two recommended notifications | | Pro Campus | £49, new-customer price shown as £15.37 | 30 days | Campus-focused route for early-career hiring | The current price page says all products are published on Totaljobs and up to 450 partner job boards, with candidate notifications by email or app. Partner distribution can produce different audiences and application quality, so keep the original Totaljobs source in your hiring report. ## Totaljobs job ad checklist for better matching 1. **Choose a standard title.** Use the matching suggestion in the form and avoid jargon, abbreviations, quirky titles, mixed seniority, and excess punctuation. 2. **Add the full postcode.** Totaljobs’ employer guidance says a full postcode can increase applications by up to 50% by improving searches and job alerts. Use the privacy option if the exact location should not be public. 3. **Show salary clearly.** State whether it is annual, daily, or hourly, and include benefits such as pension, leave, or a company car where relevant. 4. **Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves.** This improves self-selection and helps the platform recommend candidates from adjacent backgrounds. 5. **Explain the day-to-day role.** Add responsibilities, expected outcomes, team context, work pattern, and why the candidate should join. 6. **Select the right job type.** Mark permanent, temporary, contract, or part-time accurately. 7. **Choose the application method deliberately.** Use Totaljobs screening and email, an external URL, or an ATS route based on the complexity of the process. 8. **Close the campaign promptly.** Update or close the role when filled and check partner copies if the vacancy was distributed widely. Totaljobs’ current job-ad guide also says including salary can increase applications by up to 20%. Treat that as a vendor-reported benchmark and test your own qualified-application rate and offer acceptance. ## Totaljobs and ATS measurement plan | Funnel stage | Metric | Decision | | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | | Visibility | Totaljobs views, partner views, and alert delivery | Review title, postcode, category, and ad tier | | Intent | Clicks and application starts | Improve summary, pay, and application call to action | | Completion | Completed applications and screening completion | Reduce form friction and clarify requirements | | Quality | Qualified-application and interview rates | Refine the scorecard and must-have criteria | | Hiring | Offers, acceptance, time to fill, and 90-day retention | Compare Totaljobs with other sources | | Economics | Spend, cost per qualified applicant, and cost per hire | Keep, downgrade, upgrade, or change channel | For the process layer, connect the role to [Recooty’s applicant tracking system](https://recooty.com/applicant-tracking-system) and compare it with [how to choose the right recruitment software](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/how-to-choose-the-right-recruitment-software). If the application lands on your site, use [how to create a career page that converts](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/how-to-create-a-career-page-that-converts) to keep the job promise consistent after the click. ## A practical Totaljobs publishing decision Choose the ad tier that matches the role's visibility problem, then judge it by qualified applications and hiring progress. A clear title, full postcode, visible salary, and short application path improve the test before you spend more for reach. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How much does it cost to post a job on Totaljobs?
