What is being bought

License for the guardian - Guardian Jobs is a dedicated recruitment platform hosted by The Guardian that connects job seekers with employers across various sectors, primarily in the UK. It functions as both a job board for candidates, professionals and decision makers. Targeted at people interested in heritage, architecture, environment and social issues. This is currently an essential recruitment advertising source for public sector roles, although we do complement with additional advertising in other media depending on the vacancy.
