It depends on the job. Different newspapers, magazines and web sites will give you the response you need for different jobs. There are trade magazines that may have cornered the market for job ads in a particular specialization, for example computing. For jobs that are not so specialized, local newspapers may provide a good response, for example for clerical staff. A publication called British Rate and Data (BRAD) lists newspapers and magazines and gives details of the cost of advertising and a profile of the readership. Your local library should be able to tell you where to see a copy.
Increasingly, jobs are advertised on the web. Some newspapers also offer you a web position as well as an ad in the newspaper. But there are an increasing number of websites devoted solely to advertising jobs.
The best market research about where job hunters look for jobs may be to ask people who work in that field where they would look for a new job.
