Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of LinkedIn Annual Subscription

Notice Description

The subscription includes recruiter licences (search and selection tool allowing direct contact to prospects) and rolling job slots to promote live vacancies. LinkedIn offer discounts based on term and will provide a discount on a three-year subscription. This is the same discount applied to all government organisations. The amount is collected annually in equal instalments. The platform supports the Council's recruitment strategy, and we envisage needing to use LinkedIn for the foreseeable future, it would be appropriate to commit to a three-year subscription to secure the greatest discount.
