The Guardian Jobs vs. Reed.co.uk:

Like The Guardian Jobs, Reed.co.uk is a popular general job board that caters to the U.K. job market. Both platforms offer a comprehensive CV database and employer branding services. The Guardian Jobs charges £575.00 +VAT per post, compared to Reed.co.uk's £89.00 +VAT per post, making the latter the more affordable option.

The Guardian Jobs vs. CV-Library:

While The Guardian Jobs syndicates job posts to partner sites, CV-Library shares ads to over 800 other job boards, offering employers greater exposure. Both platforms feature social media promotion, but at £75.00 +VAT per post, CV-Library is the more affordable choice, compared to the former's £575.00 +VAT per post.

The Guardian Jobs vs. Find a job:

Find a job is a job portal operated by the U.K. government. The site is more affordable than The Guardian Jobs, offering a free job posting service. Although The Guardian Jobs is considerably costlier at £575.00 +VAT per post, it does have far more recruitment features, such as CV searches, promoted listings, and candidate matching tools.
