Review:

VelvetJobs lists jobs across a variety of industries, including the fashion, entertainment, media, and finance sectors. The site offers a range of career services for job seekers and a selection of recruitment tools for employers, including job postings, candidate searches, and employer branding.

The site offers U.K. employers access to an extensive international talent pool, a convenient online dashboard for managing job ads, and company profiles. However, it lacks a free job posting plan, which local niche competitors, such as ScreenSkills Jobs and Arts Jobs, offer.

Pros:

  • Subscriptions for single and multiple job slots are available.
  • Employers can make use of a seven-day free trial.
  • Jobs are distributed to multiple job boards.
  • Employers can create a detailed careers page.
  • The site features a searchable candidate database.
  • Employer branding services are available.
  • The site offers outplacement services.

Cons:

  • There is no free job posting plan — only a free trial.
  • The site does not offer job post upgrades to feature listings or promote them on social media.
  • There are no local customer support channels or features tailored to a U.K. audience.
  • Pricing is only listed in U.S. dollars.

Reputation:

VelvetJobs received a score of 4.9 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, based on more than 130 reviews. While most feedback is from job seekers satisfied with the platform's services, some employers also reported positive customer service experiences and praised the extensive talent pool the site provides access to.
