Review:
CareerBuilder.co.uk was a subsidiary of CareerBuilder.com and catered specifically to employers and job seekers in the U.K. Employers paid to list jobs, while job seekers applied for free. Employers benefitted from an integrated recruiting platform and access to an extensive resume database.
Pros:
- CareerBuilder reached more than 2 million job seekers in the U.K. every month.
- Employers could advertise across several niche sites powered by CareerBuilder, such as TopLanguageJobs.com and Jobmedic.co.uk, which now form part of the Kariera Group's U.K. operations.
- The site featured a searchable U.K. CV database with over 1 million active CVs.
- Employers received AI-matched candidate alerts via email or on the platform.
- CareerBuilder offered end-to-end recruitment solutions that included job postings and sourcing technologies and tools.
- The platform had a global reach through partner sites across Europe, North America, and Asia.
Cons:
- CareerBuilder did not offer any free plans or trials.
- Local sites such as Reed.co.uk and CV-Library attract more traffic and cost less.
Reputation:
CareerBuilder has a rating of 1.4 out of 5 stars on Sitejabber, based on more than 130 reviews. Several subscribers complained about receiving spam emails and calls, and some employers felt that they had paid a lot only to receive poor candidate matches.
CareerBuilder vs. LinkedIn:
CareerBuilder and LinkedIn differ in that CareerBuilder was a global recruitment service that featured a job board, while LinkedIn is an international social network that includes job postings. CareerBuilder’s prices started at £239.00 +VAT per month for a single job listing, whereas LinkedIn allows more budget control with a pay-per-click option.
CareerBuilder vs. Reed.co.uk:
Like Reed.co.uk, CareerBuilder offered a job board and resume database, as well as additional features to support the recruitment process, such as integrations with applicant tracking systems and candidate screening. While Reed.co.uk does not have an international reach, it is the more affordable option if you're recruiting in the U.K.
CareerBuilder vs. CV-Library:
CV-Library attracts more traffic in the U.K. than CareerBuilder did, advertising a reach of more than 16.2 million candidates. CareerBuilder's U.K. platform claimed to reach over 2 million job seekers a month. Both platforms offered an attractive set of features for employers. For local recruitment efforts, CV-Library offers better value for money.
