Recruiters can place their job advertisements for free on a new community website call TapThat.co.uk, which aims to encourage local residents to interact online and focuses on supporting charities rather than generating revenue for itself.

A spokesperson for the site, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Friday-Ad Holdings, told Recruiter that there are no plans to charge for ads in the future, but it encouraged those using the site to make a donation to one of its partner charities, which include Barnardo’s, Cancer ResearchUK and Shelter. “We expect the recruitment category to grow at a fast rate due to the service that TapThat is offering being free,” she said. “We are currently canvassing recruitment agencies across the UK, increasing the awareness of the opportunities TapThat has to offer.”

Users can register with their local county site for free and search local events, services, information and items for sale, as well as share pictures, event reviews and comments through its forums.

Currently, jobs listed come from recruitment agencies and employers direct, but to boost content initially, TapThat is using feeds from more established websites owned by Friday-Ad Holdings such as Friday-Ad.co.uk and Simplysalesjobs.co.uk.
