Review:
SME Jobs Connection is a U.S.-based job board that advertises a range of manufacturing vacancies. With a resume database of over 1,300 qualified candidates, employers can connect with manufacturing professionals from around the world, including the U.K.
At the time of writing, SME Jobs Connection had over 700 U.K. vacancies listed on their job board. The platform, however, does not list its pricing in local currency, making it difficult to compare the site's affordability to local competitors.
Pros:
- More than 7,700 employers use SME Jobs Connection to fill their manufacturing vacancies.
- Employers can post jobs throughout the U.K., Australia, Canada, and the U.S., among others.
- The platform has multiple job posting plans available to suit different hiring needs.

- The site's dedicated "Intern Board" allows employers to advertise manufacturing internships and connect with over 190 interns.

- Listings are sent to over 4,4000 manufacturing professionals via email alerts.
- Several upgrades are available, including social media promotion and job distribution across the site's partner job boards.
Cons:
- SME Jobs Connection's pricing is not available in pounds sterling or euros.
- Employers are charged extra to view resumes.
- Most of the site's traffic comes from the U.S., making local sites like British Manufacturing Jobs better for U.K. hiring.
