Review:

The Guardian Jobs receives over one million unique visits each month and job posts reach over 25 million Guardian readers. Employers benefit from social media promotion, syndication to partner sites, and a CV database of candidates. However, the platform is costlier than most competitors.

Pros:

  • Jobs ads reach over one million candidates throughout the U.K.
  • The platform uses "Behavioral targeting" to reach a defined audience of passive job seekers.
  • Job posts are promoted on The Guardian partner sites for even greater exposure.
  • The Silver plan shares job posts on select social platforms.
  • The platform features a CV database for employers to search through.
  • Employers receive a discount with bulk job packages.
  • The Guardian Jobs offers employer branding services to aid brand awareness.
  • The Green Job package targets a specific, environmentally conscious audience.

Cons:

  • There is no free job posting option.
  • The platform is costlier than several competitors, such as Reed.co.uk and CV-Library.

The Guardian Jobs vs. Reed.co.uk:

Like The Guardian Jobs, Reed.co.uk is a popular general job board that caters to the U.K. job market. Both platforms offer a comprehensive CV database and employer branding services. The Guardian Jobs charges £575.00 +VAT per post, compared to Reed.co.uk's £89.00 +VAT per post, making the latter the more affordable option.

The Guardian Jobs vs. CV-Library:

While The Guardian Jobs syndicates job posts to partner sites, CV-Library shares ads to over 800 other job boards, offering employers greater exposure. Both platforms feature social media promotion, but at £75.00 +VAT per post, CV-Library is the more affordable choice, compared to the former's £575.00 +VAT per post.

The Guardian Jobs vs. Find a job:

Find a job is a job portal operated by the U.K. government. The site is more affordable than The Guardian Jobs, offering a free job posting service. Although The Guardian Jobs is considerably costlier at £575.00 +VAT per post, it does have far more recruitment features, such as CV searches, promoted listings, and candidate matching tools.
