Review:

While Gumtree Jobs is a good option for finding staff in the U.K. it cannot be used to hire within the U.S., and pricing is only available in pounds sterling. For anyone looking to hire locally, Indeed would be a better option as it offers both free and paid postings, international reach, and a resume database.

Pros:

  • Registration on Gumtree Jobs is quick and easy.
  • The platform has a built-in applicant tracking system.
  • You can boost ads to improve reach and impact.
  • Previous job postings can be saved as templates.
  • Gumtree Jobs has 35 job categories.
  • The average job post response time is 12 hours.

Cons:

  • Gumtree Jobs cannot be used to hire locally.
  • There is no free job posting option.
  • The platform is missing a resume database and advanced hiring tools.

Reputation:

There are over 7,000 reviews of Gumtree on Trustpilot but they deal mostly with people in the U.K. buying and selling goods on the platform, not with advertising jobs. The platform has a score of 3.2 out of 5 stars.
