Simply Law Jobs

Review:

The self-proclaimed leading legal job board of the U.K., Simply Law Jobs is a niche job posting site with comprehensive recruitment services designed to help employers find talented job seekers in all legal sectors. The platform is well-established and features an extensive candidate CV database of legal professionals.

Simply Law Jobs uses an algorithm to calculate daily rates for job postings but does not make these rates readily available on its website. The platform does offer a wide range of additional recruitment solutions, such as CV searches, social media promotion, and a dedicated account manager.

Pros:

• The site offers CV searches, social promotion, standard and featured postings, and bespoke recruitment packages.
• Employer accounts include a reporting page for tracking job applications, application rates, and more.
• Employers can block applications from outside specific locations.
• Simply Law Jobs' CV database contains profiles of more than 50,000 candidates.
• Employers can search and view candidates' CVs at no cost and only pay to obtain candidates' names and contact details.
• The CV database supports Boolean searches.
• The platform provides employers with a dedicated account manager to assist with recruitment processes.
• The site sends job email alerts directly to prospective candidates.

Cons:

• Employers must contact an account manager to purchase credits for CV downloads.
• The site has a smaller reach than competitors, such as Law Gazette Jobs and Indeed.

Simply Law Jobs vs. TotallyLegal:

Simply Law Jobs and TotallyLegal both cater to the U.K.'s legal job market.

Both platforms also offer bespoke recruitment packages.

Simply Law Jobs vs. Law Gazette Jobs:

Both geared towards legal professionals, Simply Law Jobs and Law Gazette Jobs host local job boards with recruitment services such as email advertising and featured listings. While Simply Law Jobs offers a searchable CV database, which Law Gazette Jobs doesn't, it has a smaller reach than the former.

Simply Law Jobs vs. Indeed:

Indeed is a popular job board that lists jobs from all industries. Simply Law Jobs, however, is dedicated to posting legal vacancies, which might be the better option for employers in search of specialized professionals. Unlike Indeed, Simply Law Jobs does not offer a free job posting option.
