How Webrecruit partnered with Exmoor National Park Authority to reinvigorate their recruitment advertising
The Organisation
Exmoor National Park Authority manages a unique and beautiful part of the country. Their vision is to ensure Exmoor National Park has a thriving living landscape and is a place where people can enjoy and benefit from Exmoor’s special qualities.
The Challenge
We chatted with Ellie Woodcock, HR Advisor for Exmoor National Park Authority, regarding their experience of working in partnership with Webrecruit to improve their job advertisements, as well as increase the reach of their job advertisements through new ways of advertising.
“We used to write our job advertisements ourselves, but we really wanted to get across a message about who we are as an employer which is flexible and friendly. We didn’t advertise much online (bar social media adverts) and relied primarily on print advertising and wanted to increase our digital, online reach to access more candidates.”

“Webrecruit was able to update our adverts and reinvigorate our approach. The adverts we receive from Webrecruit to review are written by expert copywriters and it shows; it is also helpful to know that from an EDI perspective, we have experts looking at our roles who can promote our focus on diversity whilst being conscious of word selection.
We have also increased the reach of our job advertisements through further online advertising. Webrecruit is able to provide us with advice and guidance on where our roles should be placed, and this level of support and expertise really makes a difference in giving our job vacancies that best chance of being filled and filled on time.”
