ThirdSectorJobs.co.uk has launched as a specialist jobs site for people working in or looking to join the charity and voluntary sector. The new site extends the successful recruitment service already provided by the magazine Third Sector, and benefits from a substantial marketing campaign to deliver the best quality response from relevant, high-calibre candidates.

Simon Devitt, online publisher at Haymarket Professional, said “This is a very exciting time in a sector that is growing in size and importance, and we believe there is a significant opportunity to support its effectiveness by enabling efficient, cost-effective recruitment. We have already seen good support from major recruiters as well as strong traffic growth and we believe we are going to make a major impact as the promotion gathers pace over the next few months.”

Third Sector was acquired by Haymarket Publishing and relaunched as a weekly in 2002. Haymarket is now considerably increasing its investment in online recruitment for Britain’s charities, which now employ more than 600,000 people and represent a significant part of the UK economy.
