UK Sport Jobs Portal

Review:

UK Sport Jobs Portal is a government-provided platform that employers can use to find candidates for roles in the local sporting sector. The site only permits job postings for roles located in the U.K., which may be limiting for some employers.

While it's free to post jobs, the job board lacks key hiring tools, such as applicant tracking features, highlighted ads, a searchable CV database, and options to increase job ad exposure. Setting aside UK Sport Jobs Portal's limited hiring tools, it is budget-friendlier than local alternatives, for example, the BASES job board and SportsWork.co.

Pros:

• It is free to post jobs on UK Sport Jobs Portal.
• Employers can easily manage their job ads from an online dashboard.
• The job posting process is simple.
• Employers' logos are included in job ads.

Cons:

• There are no featured or premium job posting options.
• Only U.K.-based positions can be advertised on the platform.
• It can take up to five working days for employer accounts to be approved, delaying the job posting timeline.
• The site lacks additional hiring tools, such as CV searches, job distribution, applicant tracking, and social media sharing.
