VERCIDA Group

Review:

VERCIDA Group offers a comprehensive suite of products for employers to boost awareness of their diversity and inclusion efforts. Services include bespoke marketing packages and landing pages, job advertising packages, tailored content, and training solutions.

With that said, the platform lacks advanced hiring tools to streamline the hiring process, such as a searchable resume database and candidate matching. Packages are also costly and more suited to companies with large-scale hiring needs.

Pros:

• Job listings are advertised on vercida.com to a reported 3 million job seekers per year.
• VERCIDA credits or VCs can be used on a limited selection of activities to boost your diversity and inclusion message.
• Job posting plans include at least 100 job listings.
• Each plan includes an inclusive recruitment guide.
• The Partner and Leader plans include four 60-minute member-only group workshops.
• Marketing campaigns include promoting vacancies via email and social media, and bespoke landing pages.
• The credit pack allows you to mix and match marketing products to create your own marketing campaign.
• Other services include SEO-optimized web pages, surveys, articles, and events.

Cons:

• VERCIDA Group does not offer a free plan.
• Subscription plans are costly compared to competitors' and are more suited to large-scale hiring.
• There is no option to post jobs directly to the site.
• The platform lacks advanced hiring tools, such as job distribution to other job boards, CV searches, and candidate matching.

VERCIDA Group vs. LGBTjobs.co.uk:

LGBTjobs.co.uk offers single and bulk job posting plans but employers need to contact the company for a quote. VERCIDA Group on the other hand charges SMEs an annual fee of £5,500.00 and offers comprehensive marketing campaigns to boost your diversity brand message. However, they are a costly option for small businesses.

VERCIDA Group vs. LGBT Equality Jobsite:

While VERCIDA Group only offers annual bulk job posting plans, LGBT Equality Jobsite offers single plans starting at £625.00 +VAT per post, which is more affordable than the former's £5,500.00 per year. Neither site offers resume searches or applicant tracking; however, employers can customize plans to suit their marketing needs with VERCIDA.

VERCIDA Group vs. Indeed:

Indeed is a popular global job posting site that offers free and pay-per-application plans, and a much larger reach than VERCIDA Group. In contrast, VERCIDA Group has diversity marketing campaigns to boost diversity and inclusion initiatives, which Indeed lacks. However, they only offer annual plans starting at £5,500.00, which may be costly for SMEs.
