Review:

Founded in the U.K. 25 years ago, JobServe is one of the oldest online recruitment platforms in the world. It has 8 million registered job seekers and receives 2.5 million applications a year. Employers in the U.K. can use the site to reach a global and local talent pool.

While JobServe is more affordable than CW Jobs, it is costlier than Monster and Reed.co.uk. A single job post costs £155.00 +VAT and only lasts for seven days. However, there are several job posting options, all including company branding and candidate matching features.

  • The site shares job posts with a network of job sites and aggregators.
  • Every job post includes a company logo, profile, and banner advertising at no extra cost.
  • The platform offers a wide range of plans as well as a selection of add-ons and bulk discounts.
  • Employers can access the site's resume database.
  • The platform offers online and phone support.

Cons:

  • No free options are available.
  • Telephone support is not available 24/7.
  • Online support is not in real-time.
  • The platform doesn't use social media channels to promote job posts.

Reputation:
