Review:
Gumtree Jobs is a good option for hiring locally. More than 1 million job seekers visit the site every month and it is more cost-effective than other popular local job boards such as Totaljobs and Reed.co.uk. The platform has a built-in applicant tracking system and has 35 job categories for employers to advertise in.
However, other job boards offer more features such as candidate matching, screening, company branding, and access to a resume database. And if you need to reach an international audience, there are better options than Gumtree.
Pros:
- Over a million job seekers in the U.K. visit the Gumtree website every month.
- The average job post response time is 12 hours.
- Once you've created a job post you can save it as a template.
- The platform has a built-in applicant tracking system.
- Ads can be boosted.
- Registration is quick and easy.
- Help is offered in the form of an in-depth FAQ section, email, and phone support.
- Gumtree Jobs has 35 job categories.
- The platform is more affordable than Totaljobs, Reed.co.uk, and CV-Library.
- Gumtree's headquarters are in London.
Cons:
- There is no accessible resume database.
- Gumtree Jobs does not use its considerable social media following to promote jobs.
- There is no candidate matching feature.
- Company branding opportunities are only available on the 30-day Platinum and Urgent packages.
- There are no free job posting options for U.K. employers.
- There is no candidate screening tool.

Gumtree Jobs vs. Indeed:
Indeed is great for international hiring. It also offers features lacking on Gumtree Jobs, including built-in screening and a resume database. Gumtree Jobs is best for hiring locally since it's based in the U.K. and gets over 1 million views per month. While Gumtree charges upwards of £14.95 +VAT per month, Indeed offers both free and paid posts.
Gumtree Jobs vs. Reed.co.uk:
Reed.co.uk is one of the top job boards in the U.K. Unlike Gumtree Jobs, it offers a searchable resume database and extended posts. That being said, pricing starts at £89.00 +VAT per post for new customers, while Gumtree Jobs charges £14.95 +VAT for a basic job post. Both platforms receive significant traffic from within the U.K.
Gumtree Jobs vs. Totaljobs:
Totaljobs has a larger audience than Gumtree Jobs and also includes candidate matching tools and a resume database, features missing from Gumtree Jobs. Both platforms are based in the U.K., but Gumtree is significantly more affordable, charging £14.95 +VAT for a standard post compared to the introductory offer of £89.00 +VAT per post on Totaljobs.
