Why this board is free for you, and always will be

We put people first.

We do not grow this business by looking at profit. We grow it by looking after the people next to us, and those people grow the business.

You are not the product here. We could make good money selling access to a database of CVs, because that is what most of this industry does. We decided not to, and we are not going to change our minds when it gets tempting.

  • You never pay us a penny. Charging a work seeker a fee is against the law, and we would not do it anyway.
  • Your CV goes to the one employer you chose. Nobody can search for you here. There is nothing to search.
  • You can delete everything yourself, in one press, without asking us and without giving a reason.
  • If an advert asks you for money, tell us. It comes down the same day, the advertiser gets no refund, and we report the serious ones.
  • If the site ever stops you applying, email us the advert and your CV and we will send the application for you, free.

Look after the person applying at eleven at night after a shift, and the rest of it follows. That is the whole plan.

Getting a reply: five things that work

1. Match the words in the advert. If it says CSCS, SMSTS or NMC pin, put yours near the top of the CV, not on page two.

2. Keep it to two pages. Last ten years in detail, the rest in one line each.

3. Put numbers on it. Size of site, number of covers, tonnes moved, tickets closed. Numbers are what an employer remembers.

4. Say when you can start. Notice period on the CV saves a phone call and moves you up the pile.

5. Use the covering note. Three sentences on why this role, in your own words, beats a generic letter every time.

Your data, your call

When you apply, your CV and details go to that employer and to us, nobody else. There is nothing here for employers to browse, so nobody can find you unless you chose to apply to them.

If you would like us to keep your CV for roles HIRINGUK LTD recruits for directly, there is a separate tick box when you apply. It is off unless you tick it, only our own team can see it, and one click takes it off file. What that means.

Create an account while you apply and you can see every application you have sent and delete the whole lot, CV files included, with one button. Or ask us and we will do it within a month, usually the same week.
