Mystery of those advertising numbers explained

https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/mystery-those-advertising-numbers-explained
Have you noticed the strange numbers underneath the adverts in this and every other issue of First Appointments? That’s the Reader Reply service. It’s free and simple to use, and it’s useful for readers and the local education authorities that advertise in these pages.

The service allows newly qualified teachers to receive details of their preferred employers, but also enables authorities and schools to attract potential applicants and to monitor who is applying to them.

LEAs and schools that use the service have a number, found at the bottom of their advert. You’ll also find this number in the Reader Reply box found on page 47.

If you want to know more about an advertiser, tick in the corresponding box and fill in the details required on the form provided. You can pick up to four advertisers. Send the form to the Freepost address advertised in the box and you’ll receive details and application packs from the schools and authorities you’ve picked. This is a great service to help new teachers to start their job hunt. It also helps schools and authorities who want to attract applicants.
