This report covers the period from 6th January 2021 – 5th January 2022
All at Catholic Recruitment would like to thank you for your continued support, either as a member or a website visitor. Launching a new business at the start of a pandemic has not been without its challenges, and some of these challenges are still prevalent today. So we are grateful for your support, including retweeting and sharing our Tweets. We announced last week there would be no price increase until 2024, so as a big thank you to our Foundation and Community members who supported us when we started, we are pleased to announce that any discount applied last year will be applied for the next two years.

We appreciate all your good and bad feedback; after reviewing your comments, we listened to what you said.
You asked for improved search filters, we listened, and from December, all new job postings had new categories added to facilitate this. To see how to use our search to filter your result visit our support page https://catholicrecruitment.co.uk/support/.
Some visitors found it unhelpful to receive notifications on Twitter for jobs they were not interested in receiving. Example: Charities jobs when they were looking for teaching jobs. We treat all jobs as equal, and all jobs are posted to our Twitter account. We have improved our site search engine to help you filter and view only the jobs you are interested in viewing. We have also added our powerful and advanced search engine to our weekly newsletter. From today we will be adding our search engine to our latest job page, which lists all new jobs that day. https://catholicrecruitment.co.uk/latest-job/.
You also asked if you could filter jobs by location or postcode.
We have been testing different versions of plugins to allow this. This option will be available soon. The issue we are currently having is all 3 plugins we have trialled can cause the search result to be slow. Once we have resolved this issue, we will implement this request.
We are all extremely grateful for your support and feedback, and we hope you continue to support our efforts over the coming year.
God bless,
The Catholic Recruitment Team
