It's time for this year's highly anticipated list of the UK's top jobs to be released. There have been a few changes from last year's top jobs list!
If you're planning to look for a new career opportunity this year, you may be wondering where to start. There are many job sites available online, but which ones offer job seekers the best chance of securing a new role?
To help you with your job search, we've compiled a list of the top UK job sites for 2023 based on their popularity (data from Similar Web and based on monthly website visitors).
Let's take a look at who's featured on our top job sites for 2023
Top Job Sites 2023
They claimed first place again! Indeed, it is still the most popular destination for UK job seekers with an impressive 53 million visitors in January 2023. It is also a big player on the global job search scene.
Another non-move to the year's list is TotalJobs who retain their number two spot. They have over 280,000 live job listings on their site and help you find any type of job, in any industry, wherever you are.
Moving up one place in the ranks is Reed.co.uk. They offer a wide range of opportunities and we've found them to be a particularly good destination for finding graduate and trainee roles.
Not only does Glassdoor have tons of job opportunities to search, but it also has a growing database of company reviews that are extremely valuable to job seekers. If you're considering joining a new company, you might want to take a look at Glassdoor reviews first to see what other employees have said about it.
They're down a few spots from last year, but still have a lot to offer job seekers. It is the UK's largest independent job board, with 212,000+ job vacancies from all industries nationwide. When you start your job search, we recommend that you submit your CV to CV-Library to be informed of relevant opportunities, to be discovered by the UK's top recruiters and employers and to be able to easily apply for their roles with one click .
Find a job is the UK Government's official job site and if you claim Jobseeker's Allowance you are likely to be directed there to help you find work. It has seen much more activity than last year with an increase in visitors and advertised vacancies. While they don't have huge volumes of roles, they also don't charge employers to advertise with them, so there may be some opportunities on this site that you won't find elsewhere!
Retaining their position at number 7 is Adzuna! They search thousands of sites so you don't have to and promise to aggregate millions of ads so you can find any job, anywhere. The jobs you find on Adzuna are likely to take you to another job site to apply, but it's a good place to look if you're having trouble finding something suitable on other sites.
Retaining their place in our list of top job sites, Jobs.ac.uk is more of a specialist job board. If your career is in academia, research, science or related professions, you should definitely check out their available roles.
Guardian Jobs is a new entry to our list this year and offers a range of services to make your job search easier. They have high level job vacancies in sectors including Media, Education, NHS, Government, Postgraduate, Secretarial, Charities, Marketing, Social Care and Arts amongst others.
Monster comes in at number ten this year a little lower than in the past, although we've seen less marketing efforts from them in recent years. If you're considering a new job or career, Monster promises to help you explore the possibilities and find the roles that are right for you.
Special reports
Although not strictly a job site, we couldn't help but mention LinkedIn as a good option for job seekers. Before you start your job search, you should make sure you have a professional-looking and up-to-date LinkedIn profile. You can then modify your settings to show recruiters that you're open to new opportunities (which you can hide from others, including your employer) and search for jobs directly on their site.
Google Jobs is also an up-and-coming candidate that can pull opportunities from numerous online job boards and company websites to provide a wide range of options for job seekers.
Bringing it all together
With these job sites by your side, you're sure to find a new opportunity that's perfect for you. Please note that some roles will appear on multiple sites, so we recommend keeping a list of roles you've already applied for so you can keep track and don't waste time applying to the same opportunities twice. Good luck job seekers!
