JobMonkey

Review:

Established in 1999, JobMonkey specializes in connecting job seekers with part-time, seasonal, and unique job opportunities across the world. The platform prides itself on promoting "cool" jobs that provide an unconventional experience, such as summer camps, traveling opportunities, and tourism roles, among others.

The platform offers a range of competitively priced packages and claims to attract more than 300,000 unique monthly visitors. While there is no free posting plan or trial, JobMonkey is still more affordable than local niche sites such as Leisurejobs. The platform may be particularly useful for U.K. employers in search of international candidates.

Pros:

• The job board targets a niche audience of seasonal job seekers in a variety of industries across the world.
• The platform has a large audience of over 100,000 email subscribers and more than 300,000 unique monthly visitors.
• The "Super Charged" package shares job posts to the company's Facebook and Twitter channels.
• The job posting service is more affordable than competitors like Leisurejobs and TravelWeekly Jobs.
• The site offers extensive employer branding services, including a company description, multimedia, and social media widgets.
• Job credits are valid for one year.

Cons:

• There is no free job posting option.
• Pricing is not available in pounds sterling.
• Job posts are not syndicated to other job boards.
• Job Monkey does not offer local customer support channels for U.K.-based users.

JobMonkey vs. Leisurejobs:

Leisurejobs and JobMonkey are both niche sites that feature seasonal and "cool" job opportunities. However, while Leisurejobs mostly features opportunities based in the U.K. and Europe, JobMonkey features an extensive selection of posts for jobs based in North America as well as a substantial number of internationally-based job openings.

JobMonkey vs. Travel Weekly Jobs:

Travel Weekly Jobs primarily caters to users based in the U.K. JobMonkey, on the other hand, is a U.S.-based platform that, in addition to a large number of U.S.-based job openings, also features a considerable number of listings for positions based in countries across the globe. Of the two sites, JobMonkey is the more affordable option.

JobMonkey vs. Reed.co.uk:

As one of the most popular job sites in the U.K., Reed.co.uk attracts a larger local audience than JobMonkey. However, as a general job site, Reed.co.uk does not offer employers a very defined audience. While JobMonkey is a great option for employers looking for international talent, Reed.co.uk may be more effective for recruiting locally.
