Public sector vacancies should be on a .gov site. Of course if a private company runs the website more cheaply than the civil service, it is OK to contract out the operation of the website - but not to waste money paying for ads themselves.
Anyway, an excellent move. It will save money, and lead to more scrutiny of the hordes of non-jobs which abound so plentifully. Destroying just about the only income stream the Guardian has, given its tiny circulation, is just a pleasant side effect!
Well done Eric Pickles!
