The Job I Was Hired For Is Not What Was Advertised

More commonly people are finding that they are being hired only to start the job and find that their roles and responsibilities are different to what they expected. It usually ends up in the newly hired employee wanting to leave and start the job hunt all over again rather than face up to the issue. Being caught up in such a difficult situation is not easy even if it was an accident on the company’s part or a deliberate change.

So, if you are faced with such a crisis, what should you do? The worst thing is to walk out. Communication here is key, even if you are going to find it so hard to confront you manager or boss.

Affiliate Program

In our bid to expand worldwide and obtain local presence in each Country, we have launched a new Affiliate Program to find businesses and individuals to sell TipTopJob services in their chosen area.

We are looking for Affiliates or Joint Sales Partners depending on the type of business they are. Businesses can add TipTopJob to their portfolio and sell the services to existing clients or new clients. Individuals are invited to set up by themselves or with a team to sell TipTopJob. The Affiliate would be allocated a specific area/territory/country.

It is a simple way to earn extra revenue for a business as it is a simple add-on to what they would already be doing. The ideal business would be another job board, recruitment business or publisher that already have a sales team but this is not limited. Affiliates can earn up to 60% of everything sold.

The Affiliate would be allocated a defined Area which could be a Territory/Region/Country which would be discussed and pre-agreed.

We have set up a website dedicated to our Affiliate Program which can be found here: www.tiptopjob.biz.

For those interested and want to find out more, you can email us on biz@tiptopjob.com or call us on +44(0)1628 207350. Just give us a call and we can discuss whether this is something you can get involved in or not.

Price Comparison in the UK

We recently checked the prices of some of the leading job boards in the UK market to test where we sit.

Our Competitor Price Comparison successfully shows that we are the most cost-effective by far.

Looking at a 30 day job posting, Monster were the most expensive charging £199 per job. Out of Monster, Totaljobs, CVlibrary and Reed, Reed were the cheapest, charging £89 per job. We, however, were even more cost-effective, charging ONLY £60 per job.

When looking at the CV database search, Totaljobs came out as the most expensive, charging £1,000 for one month access. Based on the same time period, CVlibrary out of the four chosen job boards where the cheapest at £599. We, however, have undercut the market and are now charging £150 per month.
