About Jobs Go Public

Jobs Go Public (JGP) has been connecting top talent with roles that make a difference since 1999. We specialise in public sector hiring, no agencies, just real opportunities.

Our exclusive candidate database prioritises quality over quantity, helping employers find the right fit faster. And with targeted email campaigns, we reach professionals actively looking for roles in local government and charities.

But we’re more than a job board. Our Applicant Tracking System (ATS) supports everything from advertising to analytics: delivering insights on media performance, diversity, and salary trends to help you hire smarter.
