I have worked with jobs.ac.uk for a number of years, and particularly with our Account Manager Emily, initially we worked together to find an advert package suitable for advertising our various opportunities at the Turing, including Fellowships, research engineering, studentships and business team roles. I’ve found jobs.ac.uk always responsive and proactive to work with and advertising with jobs.ac.uk attracts a high level of candidates to our roles. Emily and the team also provide key stats and useful job performance insights helping us make the most of our annual package.

jobs.ac.uk is our first choice platform for recruiting all of our academic and professional support vacancies. The team at jobs.ac.uk provide a fast, friendly and efficient service and help us attract high-calibre applicants at a very cost-effective price.
Simon Booth, HR Administrator, University of Bolton
jobs.ac.uk has been our primary go to platform for recruiting all our academic staff for a couple of years now. Their international audience and global reach help us attract the right kind of high-calibre candidates to fill in even our niche academic positions which are quite hard to fill otherwise. Their team has provided exceptional customer service from day one and are extremely efficient and helpful, especially when we have urgent requirements. They have never failed to deliver with utmost promptness and a friendly approach especially Yunlong Zhao and William McArthur. Both of them are amazing to work with and super reliable. I hope to continue working with jobs.ac.uk for many more years in the future and wish them all the success and recognition which they truly deserve.
Nazia Rehman, Human Resources Advisor, UOWD - University of Wollongong Dubai
Searching and recruiting academics to teach and research in Borneo is never an easy task but jobs.ac.uk has never failed to help us find people interested in our unique experience. They are highly supportive, responsive and effective in delivering high quality applicants. We have tried many other search platforms but none has delivered as good as jobs.ac.uk. Yunlong’s kind gesture to visit us in Miri, Sarawak says a lot about the jobs.ac.uk outreach and his effort alone of travelling to Miri through multiple connecting flights truly shows that they care.
Servia Gindi, Human Resource/Staffing Management, Curtin University - Malaysia

“Professional!”
We’ve worked with jobs.ac.uk since 2014, and they’ve consistently impressed me with their excellent guidance. When we were not sure of which products to select, they came up with an effective mixture of a couple of products. When we had difficulty writing an ad, they shared us with some successful examples. To sum up, they are professional. We look forward to working with jobs.ac.uk for many more years to come!
