Jobs done

One Billy Blofeld has been tracking recruitment advertising spend at the BBC over the years, through FOI inquiries.

Combined figures for the last two calendar years come to £371,925.  In 2006 it was running at some £270k per year, with The Guardian taking 86% of that. In 2007, The Guardian's take of the licence-fee for BBC job ads peaked at £333k.

The top twenty chart for the last two years still has The Guardian at the top but with a mere sliver of its former income. Spookily, no ads were placed in The Daily Mail.
