Review:

I Love MCR offers a comprehensive job board that allows employers to post vacancies across Manchester for free. While it was initially created as an independent platform that helps uplift and promote the community of Manchester, it also provides an easy-to-use platform that advertises job listings to millions of local job seekers.

Pros:

  • I Love MCR offers both free and paid job posting options.
  • All job listings include a company logo to help improve the ad's professionalism.
  • The website claims to receive an average of 14 million views per year.
  • The registration process is simple and does not require company information.
  • The Promoted Listing plan costs £100.00 for a full year of unlimited listings.
  • I Love MCR offers a helpful mobile app for both iOS and Android users.

Cons:

  • The platform does not provide access to a CV database.
  • There is no mention of applicant tracking, social media sharing, or candidate matching features on its website.
  • I Love MCR was originally created to promote life in Manchester and is not widely known as a job board.

I Love MCR Job Board vs. University of Manchester CareersConnect:

The only similarity between the two competitors is their pricing, with both platforms offering free listings. For those looking to reach a larger market, I Love MCR has the best exposure, with its listings being publically available to Manchester residents. University of Manchester CareersConnect is only available to its students and alumni.

I Love MCR Job Board vs. greater.jobs:

Comparatively, greater.jobs stands out as the more costly option, with its entry-level plan costing £185.00 +VAT per post. I Love MCR, on the other hand, is a free job posting site that also offers a promoted listings plan for £100.00 per year. That said, both platforms are dedicated sites that target job seekers in the Greater Manchester area.

I Love MCR Job Board vs. Find a job:

While both I Love MCR and Find a job are free job posting sites, the two competitors offer a different reach. For Manchester-based employers, I Love MCR offers excellent exposure locally, despite the site predominantly being seen as a community news platform. Find a job, however, is a general job board that advertises vacancies across the country.
