About Us

Most job boards are built to be forgotten the moment you close the tab. We built this one to be useful enough that you’d come back — and honest enough that you’d trust what you found when you did.

This site exists to do one job well: bring together active, genuine vacancies from employers across the United Kingdom, and get you to the real application page as quickly and clearly as possible. We’re not a recruitment agency. We don’t take a cut of anyone’s salary. We don’t ask you to create an account, upload a CV into our system, or hand over your details before you can see a job. You search, you find something worth applying for, you click through to the employer’s own site, and you apply there. That’s the whole model.

Why we started this

Anyone who has spent an evening job hunting knows the frustration: listings that expired three weeks ago still showing up in search results, “Apply Now” buttons that route through four different redirect pages before landing somewhere that may or may not still be hiring, salary ranges that turn out to be fiction once you actually open the posting. Job boards accumulate cruft. Old listings are profitable to leave up — they cost nothing to host and they still generate clicks — so plenty of sites simply don’t bother taking them down or labelling them properly.

We think that’s a bad trade against your time. If a role closed two weeks ago, you should know that before you spend twenty minutes tailoring a cover letter for it. So we built the site around a simple rule: every job has a closing date, and once that date passes, we say so — clearly, on the page, before you get anywhere near the apply button. We’ll explain exactly how that works further down, and there’s a dedicated Expired Jobs Policy page if you want the full detail.

What we actually do

In practical terms, this site does three things:

• We collect job listings. Some come directly from employers who list with us. Others are added by our editorial team from publicly available postings, structured data feeds, or direct submissions. Every listing goes through a basic review before it’s published — we check that there’s a working application link, a real closing date, and enough detail (location, salary information where available, job type) that the listing is actually useful rather than a placeholder.
• We organise them so they’re findable. Jobs are categorised by industry, tagged with a UK region and a specific location, marked with a job type (full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, internship, apprenticeship, graduate) and a working arrangement (on-site, hybrid, remote). You can filter by all of these, plus a minimum salary, so you’re not scrolling past two hundred irrelevant listings to find the six that matter to you.
• We send you to the source. Every job page has a prominent “Apply on Original Website” button. That link goes straight to the employer’s own careers page or application form — never to a form hosted on our site. We think this matters enough to say it plainly: applying for a job on this site should never feel like applying for a job on this site. It should feel like we got out of your way as fast as possible.

How we make decisions about what gets published

We’re picky about a few things that we think matter more than most job boards bother to enforce. We don’t accept listings that ask a candidate to pay a fee to apply — that’s not a real job, it’s a scam, and if one slips through and you spot it, please tell us immediately so we can pull it. We don’t publish listings without a genuine, working link to an application process. And we don’t fabricate detail to make a thin listing look fuller than it is — if an employer hasn’t told us the salary, the listing says “Salary not specified” rather than a guess dressed up as a fact.

The full detail on how listings are sourced, reviewed, and occasionally corrected lives on our Editorial Policy and Job Verification & Methodology pages. We’d rather you read the boring policy pages and trust the site than take our word for it here.

What happens when a job closes

This is the part we get asked about most, so it’s worth explaining properly here as well as on its own dedicated page. When a job’s closing date passes, an automated check changes its status from “Active” to “Expired.” The page itself doesn’t disappear — we think deleting it would be worse than leaving it, for a few reasons. First, people share job links: in group chats, in emails to a friend, in a bookmark folder for “roles to revisit.” A dead link is a small but real broken promise. Second, an expired listing still tells you something — what a company was paying eighteen months ago for a similar role, what skills they were asking for, whether they hire for this kind of position regularly. That’s useful context even if you can’t apply today. Third, and most simply: deleting the page doesn’t help you. Showing you clearly that it’s closed, and then pointing you toward similar active roles, does.

So on an expired job page, you’ll see a clear “Job Expired” notice near the top, the apply button is disabled rather than removed, and underneath you’ll find a set of related jobs that are genuinely still open — matched by category, location, job type and company, not just “recently posted” filler. We built the matching this way deliberately, because a related-jobs box full of irrelevant postings is worse than no box at all.

Who’s behind this

This site is run by a small editorial and technical team focused specifically on the UK jobs market. We’re not a large media company with a jobs vertical bolted on, and we’re not a recruitment agency using a blog to funnel candidates into a sales pipeline. We built the job board first, and the advice content on our blog grew out of genuinely wanting to answer the questions we kept hearing from job seekers using the site — things like how UK CV formatting differs from what you see in US templates, what a “competency-based interview” actually means in practice, and how salary bands vary by region in ways that national averages hide.

If you want to know more about who wrote a particular article, every blog post carries an author byline and a short bio. If you spot something wrong — a factual error, an outdated statistic, a broken link — our Corrections Policy explains exactly how to flag it and what happens next.

What we don’t do

It’s worth being explicit about the boundaries of the service, because job boards sometimes blur these lines in ways that aren’t obvious until you’ve already lost time to them:

• We don’t run our own application system. You will never fill in an application form hosted on this domain.
• We don’t charge job seekers anything, ever, for any part of using this site.
• We don’t guarantee that any listed role is still available the second you click, even if it’s marked Active — employers sometimes fill a position before the closing date and don’t tell us. Always treat the employer’s own site as the final word.
• We don’t act as a middleman in the hiring process. We have no visibility into whether you got an interview, an offer, or a rejection, and no ability to influence any of it.
• We don’t sell or share personal data collected through our contact form beyond what’s needed to reply to you — see our Privacy Policy for the specifics.

How the site sustains itself

Running a job board — hosting, keeping listings current, writing and maintaining the advice content — costs money and time. We cover that partly through display advertising, including Google AdSense, placed in clearly labelled slots that are visually separated from job listings and editorial content. Advertising never influences which jobs we publish, how they’re ranked, or what we write about on the blog. If we ever run affiliate links (for example, to a specific CV-writing tool or course we think is genuinely useful), they’ll be disclosed on the page they appear on and summarised on our Affiliate Disclosure page — we’re not currently running any, but we’d rather have the policy in place before we need it than scramble to write one after the fact.

A realistic promise

We’re not going to tell you this site guarantees you a job, because no job board can honestly claim that, and we’re suspicious of any that do. What we can tell you is narrower and, we think, more useful: every active listing you find here links to a genuine application process, every closed listing is labelled as closed rather than quietly hidden, and every piece of advice on our blog is written by someone who’s actually thought about the question rather than generated to fill a content calendar.

If that’s the kind of job board you were hoping to find, we’re glad you’re here. If you run into anything that falls short of it — a broken link, a stale listing marked as active, an article that’s out of date — we genuinely want to hear about it. Head to our Contact page and tell us. We read every message.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this website a recruitment agency?

No. We don’t represent employers in the hiring process, we don’t place candidates, and we don’t take a fee from either side. We publish job listings and link through to the employer’s own application process — nothing more.

Do I need to create an account to apply for jobs?

No. There’s no account system on this site. You browse and filter listings freely, then click through to apply directly on the employer’s own website.

Is it free to use this site as a job seeker?

Yes, completely. There is no charge for browsing listings, using search filters, or reading our blog content. Be wary of any job listing anywhere that asks you to pay to apply — that’s a red flag for a scam, not a legitimate opportunity, and it’s not something we allow on this site.

How do I know a listing is still genuinely open?

We show a clear “Active” or “Expired” status on every job page based on the closing date the employer gave us. An “Active” status means the closing date hasn’t passed according to our records — but employers can fill roles early without telling us, so it’s always worth checking the details on the employer’s own application page too.

Can employers post jobs directly on this site?

Yes. Get in touch via our Contact page and we can talk you through the process.
