Music Mark Job Board

Review:

The Music Mark job board is a great solution for schools and other employers to reach a niche audience of music teachers, tutors, administrators, and senior leadership across the U.K.'s music education sector.

Compared to other charity music job boards and larger job posting sites, however, the platform does not offer a free job posting plan. Furthermore, the Music Mark job board lacks several key hiring features, such as an employer dashboard to manage applications, as well as candidate matching and a CV database.

Pros:

• The Music Mark job board reportedly receives over 10,000 website visits per month.
• Vacancies are shared with over 14,000 followers on the platform's social media channels.
• New job listings are also published in the weekly Music Education Jobs Bulletin.
• Multiple vacancies with the same application deadline can be bundled together for the price of a single job advert.
• Employers can add a company logo to their job listings to aid brand awareness.
• Users can make minor changes to a job listing twice while the ad is live at no additional charge.
• A range of free recruitment resources are provided on the website.

Cons:

• The Music Mark job board does not offer a free job posting plan.
• The platform lacks useful hiring tools, such as a searchable CV database, applicant tracking, and job ad syndication.
• There is a waiting period of at least two working days before a job listing is published on the site.

The ABCD job board advertises vacancies in the U.K.'s choral community and offers free job posting, though donations are welcome.
