CV-Library vs. Indeed:

Indeed and CV-Library are both popular job boards in the U.K. with large audiences and extensive candidate databases. Unlike CV-Library, Indeed offers both free and paid plans, with featured job postings starting from US$5.00 per listing. However, CV-Library offers many extras, such as employer branding and integrations with ATSs.

CV-Library vs. Reed.co.uk:

Like CV-Library, Reed.co.uk is a popular U.K. job posting site. It is slightly more expensive than CV-Library, with a starting price of £89.00 +VAT per post, compared to CV-Library's £75.00 +VAT per post. Both sites offer applicant tracking tools and CV databases, but Reed.co.uk also advertises their services on television to encourage more visitors.

CV-Library vs. Totaljobs:

CV-Library and Totaljobs are job posting sites with CV databases and similar pricing. Both sites offer featured postings and employer branding, as well as blogs with hiring advice. While CV-Library caters exclusively to the U.K., and its sister site caters to the U.S., Totaljobs affords access to a global network of job seekers.
