First of all, please check out Advertag’s alpha preview focusing on Harrogate classifieds, then come back and read about our mission and most importantly, tell us what you think.

We love Harrogate. The fact that it’s pouring rain and almost pitch black before 4pm doesn’t dampen our enthusiasm for the “London of the North”. With a population of about 150,000 and a vibrant developer community including two of the Advertag team, we always thought Harrogate Jobs would be an ideal place to stretch Advertag’s legs a little.

Taking on feedback from the fantastic mentors at Seedcamp Week 09 where we were finalists we are releasing the site sooner than planned. The benefit for us is that your early thoughts and feedback will really help shape our mission: to help our users become awesome at searching and posting classified adverts using our emergent tagging platform. We’ll be posting more about that, so if you’re interested be sure to subscribe to this blog.

Being an alpha release, please forgive any browser quirks, lack of posting functions and Javascript gremlins.

Finally, if you are actually from Harrogate and you’re looking for, say, an accounting job or jobs in sales, the listings are all real so get searching and applying! And if you have any stories or feedback to share in person, drop us a line and we’ll buy the coffee!
