Tips from an expert recruiter and CV Writer to win you that dream job!
Best All Rounder: Indeed.co.uk
According to The Intelligence Group, Indeed is the most popular job board among British job seekers with 63% of job seekers using Indeed.
It's a great all rounder because not only do companies post on the site manually, it has a clever way of pulling data and jobs from across the internet. This means that the site has possibly the greatest volume of jobs available to view online, including those listed directly by employers rather than recruitment agencies.
The site is super easy to use, with a "one click apply" function available for ease.

Best for Office Jobs: Reed.co.uk
Reed is a generalist job site, with mostly office and professional jobs available. That being said, there is a variety of other industry types and positions available to peruse in your search. Reed offers employers "paid for" job adverts, and like Indeed - you can upload your details and CV to be available for employers and recruitment agencies to view. This also gives you the "one click apply option".
Best for a variety of industries: Totaljobs
Totaljobs is one of the UK’s largest job sites with over 250,000 vacancies at any given time.
It has a brilliant feature, which lets you search for jobs within a certain commute time. Like the other sites, it also offers one click apply - which means once you've uploaded your details, and CV once - your job search becomes a whole lot easier!
Best for Engineering Jobs: EngineeringJobs
Run by CVLibrary, one of the largest generalist job boards in the UK - EngineeringJobs focuses on exactly what it says on the tin. Most of the UK's top companies post their engineering, technical and niche positions on this board which gives you an idea of just how successful it is! You can also register your CV on the site to enable potential employers and agencies to contact you about suitable positions - making your life even easier.
Best for Mid to Upper Management Level Jobs: LinkedIn
LinkedIn is THE site to use when looking for professional mid level and upwards roles.
Not only is it totally free to use, but it is the largest business networking site in the world; and an excellent tool in your job search.
By using the job search function, your LinkedIn profile becomes a version of an online CV and it is common for employers to search for and view this during the recruiting process.
There are options to select on your profile to show you are open to new opportunities and welcome being contacted for roles.
A friendly reminder to remember to keep your LinkedIn profile up to date!
