Review:
WPhired was founded in 2010 in the U.S. and joined the U.K. market soon after. The site gave employers access to over 1,000 WordPress professionals in search of local and international vacancies.
WPhired allowed employers to post WordPress jobs across the U.K. Compared to other local developer job boards, the site offered a standard range of recruitment services, such as social media promotion and featured listings.
Pros:
- WPhired allowed employers to post on-site and remote work opportunities.
- Employers could advertise vacancies throughout the U.K.
- The site offered both free and paid job posting packages.
- Jobs were included in the platform's weekly newsletter.
- The "Featured Job" package highlighted listings on the job board and shared them on the site's social media pages for increased exposure.
- Jobs were sent to candidates via email alerts.
- The paid job posting options were active for 60 days.
Cons:
- WPhired did not offer resume searches or any candidate management tools.
- The platform did not list its pricing in pound sterling.
- The site lacked an applicant tracking system.

WPhired vs. IT Job Board:
IT Job Board advertises a variety of jobs in the IT sectors of the U.K. While there is some overlap, WPhired primarily listed WordPress vacancies. Both platforms offer social media promotion services and email advertising, but IT Job Board also shares jobs to affiliate job boards for increased exposure, which WPhired lacked.
WPhired vs. Reed.co.uk:
Reed.co.uk is a well-known job board that advertises a wide range of general roles. By contrast, WPHired gave employers access to a more niche network of WordPress professionals and may have been the better choice for targeted hiring. While a new customer post on Reed.co.uk costs £89.00 +VAT, WPHired had a free posting plan for employers on a budget.
