Communo
Communo provides a freelance marketplace that connects employers with freelancers across the globe, including the U.K. The platform allows employers and recruitment agencies to post projects, browse through candidate profiles, and attend informational webinars.
Established in 2017, Communo is a Canadian-based site that is also available in the U.K. While it's uncertain when Communo started operating in the U.K., the platform has yet to establish a strong foothold in the country. There are currently no offices located in the U.K. and all plans are quoted in U.S. dollars.

Review:
Communo connects employers and recruiters with over 60,000 freelancers across the U.K and abroad. For the employers' benefit, all freelancers are vetted and matched with the right project through a scoring system. The site's features include access to social media links, project postings, and invites to informational events.
However, when compared to local competitors, such as If You Could Jobs and YunoJuno, Communo does not have the best exposure in the country, advertising very few local opportunities. In addition to its poor reach, Communo also charges employers in U.S. dollars.
Pros:
- Communo has over 1,500 local and international reputable businesses registered on its site, including Noon and Appsbroker.
- The platform offers both subscription plans and single job posting options.
- Communo has over 60,000 members that range in expertise and experience.
- The platform advertises freelance and remote projects from across the world.
- There is no placement fee for employers hiring freelancers.
- Communo allows interested users to explore its website for free using a guest account.
- All talent is vetted by the site, assuring employers of quality hires.
- The site hosts webinars and informational events that help companies improve their hiring strategies.
Cons:
- Communo only advertises vacancies to its members, which excludes a large part of the job market.
- There are no free project posting options available.
- Candidates are matched to projects using a scoring system, which may deter employers looking for a hands-on hiring approach.
- Pricing is not available in pounds sterling.
Reputation:
There are a limited number of online reviews of Communo. However, we did find one review on Reddit that noted the site's reputation for syndicated jobs, very few new job posting options, and charges for upgraded features. Communo's app received a rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars on the Apple Store.

Communo vs. If You Could Jobs:
While If You Could Jobs is a well-known U.K. job board that caters to the country's creative industry, Communo is a global marketplace that targets those in the marketing and design industries. Additionally, none of Communo's plans are available in pounds sterling and the platform only advertises opportunities to Communo members.
Communo vs. YunoJuno:
YunoJuno and Communo are both freelance marketplaces where employers are matched with qualified candidates. However, while Communo is a global marketplace for those in marketing and technology, YunoJuno targets the U.K. job market and employers can post vacancies for a range of industries.
Communo vs. Indeed:
Indeed is a general job board that receives millions of monthly views. With Indeed, U.K. employers can post freelance and permanent vacancies for free. In contrast, Communo is a members-only platform that primarily caters to employers in search of marketing or tech freelancers. The site also charges US$400.00 for a single listing.
