A: To apply your discount code, at the checkout page enter either WIREDSMALL (for 1-10 employees) or WIREDMEDIUM (for 11-50 employees) in the 'discount' field, and click 'Apply'.
Q: I need a VAT receipt for my recent job ad posting. How can I access this?
A: If you paid online (i.e. not by invoice or over the phone), you will be able to download receipts for job ad payments by logging into your Recruiter account and clicking on ‘Your payments’. You will see a list of all job ad payments made online. Click ‘Receipt’ on the right-hand side to view your receipt. To download it, click ‘Print’ and change the destination on the dropdown to ‘Save as PDF’.
Q: I’m trying to see who applied for the role I posted. How can I view applicants’ CVs and cover letters?
A: To view CVs submitted by email via Wired Sussex, login to your recruiter account and click on ‘Your jobs’. The dropdown menu under ‘Filter your jobs’ may show live jobs by default, but if you have no live jobs you can select ‘expired’.
Click the job title of the ad you’d like to see applications for, or click the application number on the right-hand side. Click on an applicant’s name or click ‘view’ to see their cover letter. A link to download their CV will be at the bottom of the cover letter.
Tip: We also offer an external apply option which takes applicants to your website to submit an application there. We can’t track application status once candidates leave our site, so application numbers in your Wired Sussex recruiter account may not be accurate.
Q: I’m trying to pay for a job ad online but my card payment hasn’t worked / there is some other issue. How can I make sure my ad goes live ASAP?
A: Drop an email to Ophelia, the manager of the jobs board: ophelia@wiredsussex.com, or call us on 01273 692888.
Q: How can I purchase / find out more about job bundles?
A: We offer bundles of 5, 10 or 20 job ads, discounted by 20%, 30% and 40% respectively. These are a fantastic way to cut recruitment costs. As with single job ads, we offer discounts on job bundles for Small (1-10 employees) and Medium (11-50 employees) companies. Bundles can be any tier—Standard, Enhanced or Premium.
To purchase, please give us a call on 01273 692888 or drop an email to info@wiredsussex.com.
Q: I have credits to use in the CV database, but I’m not sure where to start. How do I use these?
A: CV credits come as part of the Enhanced and Premium ad packages, or can be bought separately in bundles of 5 or 10. You can use CV credits to headhunt in our CV database, which at the time of writing has almost 3,000 candidates. You need credits to unlock names and contact details for CVs.
Please check out our post about the CV database and CV credits for detailed information on how to make the most of this service.

A: We don’t currently offer a free job posting package. However, registered charities are VAT-exempt across all our paid services.
If you’re a registered charity looking to buy a job ad, or if you have already paid the full amount including VAT but believe you are entitled to a VAT refund, please get in touch at info@wiredsussex.com. If you’re unsure about your eligibility for a discount or VAT exemption, please get in touch.
