Getwork

Review:

Getwork is a search engine designed to connect job seekers directly with employers. Only jobs that are posted on official company websites are displayed in the search results. Employers can decide which jobs they want to promote and for how long with a pay-per-click system and their job posts will appear on more than 300 sites.

There is a dedicated Getwork site for the U.K. where over 140,000 vacancies are listed. However, only 4,18% of site traffic comes from the U.K., so this may not be the ideal place to find local talent.

Pros:

• Established brands, such as McCain, McDonald's, and Frontier Agriculture have used the site to source employees.
• The U.K. site makes it easier for potential employees to find relevant jobs.
• Getwork is trusted by employers and job seekers.
• Employer job posts appear on over 300 partner sites.
• Employers can choose jobs they want to sponsor and how long they want their campaigns to run.
• Employers can set monthly budgets and pay only for clicks on sponsored posts.
• Candidates apply for jobs directly on company websites via a single click on Getwork.
• Candidates can use the site without signing up, thereby encouraging more people to send in applications.
• Posting dates are displayed in the search results, giving candidates a better idea of when to apply.

Cons:

• Job posts must appear on a company's website to be indexed by Getwork.
• There is no resume database available.
• Employers cannot post a job directly on Getwork's website.
• No U.K. contact number is available.
• Job boards, such as Reed.co.uk, receive far more local traffic than Getwork.

Reputation:

We were unable to find customer reviews of Getwork. However, there are several testimonials from clients listed on their website.

Getwork vs. Reed.co.uk:

Reed.co.uk receives around six million visits, with the most traffic coming from the U.K., while Getwork receives overall less traffic, and only around 4% from the U.K. No reviews on Getwork were found, but Reed.co.uk is a trusted local option that allows employers to post jobs directly to the site, while Getwork does not.

Getwork vs. Totaljobs:

Totaljobs is a high-traffic site that offers great exposure in the U.K. and abroad by sharing posts on several local job boards and with international network partners, while Getwork is a search engine that displays posts only from company websites. Totaljobs offers better customer support and local coverage than Getwork.

Getwork vs. Adzuna:

Adzuna and Getwork are both search engines that display jobs from other sites. Adzuna covers several countries, making it easy to attract international candidates, while Getwork focuses mainly on the U.S., U.K., and Canada. Adzuna offers free posting options, but employers pay to post on Getwork.
