PPA and Haymarket to launch magazine industry job site

LONDON - The Periodical Publishers Association and Haymarket Media Group have unveiled a new jobs website to serve the UK's magazine and business media sector, which will launch next month.

PPAJobs.co.uk will feature job vacancies across editorial, production, digital, sales and management.

The website is a joint venture between the PPA, the association of UK magazine publishers, and Haymarket, which publishes Brand Republic, and already runs popular jobs websites including , and .

Rufus Olins, managing director of Haymarket Brand Media, said: "We are delighted to be working with the PPA on the launch of their first jobs board.

"Our web platform already covers 16 jobs markets and working with one of the UK's foremost trade bodies will help us deliver the right media candidates for advertisers."

The jobs website will provide a host of functionality for job seekers and recruiters, including jobs by email, RSS feeds and CV storage.

Employers will also be able to take advantage of an advanced Recruiter Zone allowing them full control of their vacancies and 24-hour credit-card job posting.

Loraine Davies, director of the Periodicals Training Council, which works with the PPA, said: "The project sits well with PTC's remit to promote careers and in early 2007 the PTC Board approved a proposal that the executive should consider launching a jobs board for the industry.

"PPA received two proposals from member companies and after referring its recommendation to the Audit Committee for approval, Haymarket Media Group was chosen as the appropriate partner."

Though the website will be available to any organisation wishing to advertise vacancies, PPA members will be eligible for a discount on bookings.

Haymarket's Brand Republic site was recently shortlisted for the best business website of the year in the upcoming 2008 PPA Awards.
