ExecThread

Review:

ExecThread is a U.S.-based recruitment company with a global job board that allows employers to post senior-level and executive vacancies in the U.K.

Compared to other leading U.K. executive job boards, ExecThread offers a standard range of recruitment services, such as employer branding options and sponsored job postings for increased exposure. The company, however, does not list its pricing in pound sterling and does not provide any local customer support information.

Pros:

• The job board allows employers to reach over 70,000 vetted professionals worldwide, including the U.K.
• The site has three job posting options available, including a basic free listing.
• Job posts are live for 90 days.
• The Premium package allows employers to add their job posts to the site's weekly newsletter sent to all ExecThread members.
• Employers can keep their company name, compensation, and contact information confidential on job posts.

Cons:

• The site does not offer company branding on their Basic job posting package.
• The job board does not have local customer support.
• The site does not feature any applicant management tools.
• Employers must have a LinkedIn profile to sign up for the service.
• The site's pricing information is only listed in U.S. dollars.

Reputation:

While we were unable to find any online reviews of ExecThread, the company features a "Success Stories" section on their website with handpicked testimonials from clients.

ExecThread vs. ExecuNet:

While ExecThread and ExecuNet both specialize in advertising senior-level positions, the former offers a free basic listing, which might make it the more attractive option. ExecuNet, however, has more personalized recruitment features on offer, such as application management support and candidate matching services.

ExecThread vs. AllExecutiveJobs.com:

Like ExecThread, AllExecutiveJobs.com caters to employers in search of executive-level professionals. While both platforms offer a free job posting option, AllExecutiveJobs.com has a candidate CV database available through their partner site, which ExecThread lacks. Neither platform offers social media promotion or candidate management services.

ExecThread vs. ExecutivesOnTheWeb.com:

ExecutivesOnTheWeb.com is a niche job board for C-level executive positions. While ExecThread is only a job board, ExecutivesOnTheWeb.com offers additional services such as executive training. The latter does not advertise jobs on other platforms, while ExecThread uses sites like Twitter to post job ads.
