CityJobs vs. eFinancialCareers:

eFinancialCareers is an international finance job site that has a presence in the U.K. While CityJobs gives employers a breakdown of all costs and charges £89.00 +VAT for a new customer post, eFinancialCareers doesn't readily advertise pricing and only lets clients post jobs to their board through their consultants.

CityJobs vs. TopFinancialJobs:

TopFinancialJobs and CityJobs offer similar hiring services, but the former is the costlier choice, charging £119.00 +VAT per post. By contrast, CityJobs charges £89.00 +VAT for a new customer post and offers a six-week post duration, whereas TopFinancialJobs only lists purchased jobs for 28 days.

CityJobs vs. Reed.co.uk:

Reed.co.uk is a general job posting site that advertises financial jobs just like CityJobs. At face value, Reed.co.uk seems to be a more popular site, but CityJobs may be the better option for employers looking to hire professionals in the banking and finance sectors. Both sites offer discounts for new users and bulk posting packages.
