14 days free. No card needed for your trial.
Change anything, any time
Your site isn't a fixed design with a few boxes to fill in. You can change almost everything on it yourself, whenever you like.
- Design: switch to any of our 11 designs, or move between one long homepage and separate pages. Your content, pictures and fonts come with you.
- Words: every heading, paragraph and button label, with bold, italic, lists, links and colour on individual words.
- Colours: set them across the whole site, or separately for the menu, footer, headline, buttons, job cards and each homepage band. A readability check helps you keep it clear.
- Fonts: choose from 8.
- Sections: turn text boxes, figures, your testimonial, homepage jobs, a featured job, Get in touch and the whole About page on or off.
- Pictures: add your logo and up to three fading opening pictures, then set their timing, position and cropping. Use your own photos or our example ones.
- Movement: animate your headline, add moving strapline words, or keep it still.
- Menu: change its words and its order.
Changes save as you make them, and you can preview your site at desktop, tablet and phone sizes. No developer, and no waiting for anyone.

A general website builder can be adapted. This one starts with recruitment.
Plenty of website builders can make something that looks good. The harder part is everything behind it: job pages, application forms, CVs reaching the right person, and the information Google needs to understand a job.
On a general builder, you usually add those with plugins and setup. Here, they're there from the moment your site goes live.

Built to be found
- Google for Jobs data on every job, which makes your adverts eligible to appear there. Google decides what it shows.
- A descriptive address for each job, such as /jobs/finance-manager-london/.
- An automatic sitemap listing your pages and jobs.
- Your own search description, so you choose how your site is summarised.
- An llms.txt file that gives AI tools a plain summary of your site and current roles.
- A clear closed-job page, so old links explain the role has gone instead of showing an error.
All of it works without any setup from you.
Built by a recruiter
After fifteen years in recruitment, I saw how many good recruiters went independent and suddenly needed a website. Not a generic business website, but one that could show jobs, take applications and make them look established from day one.
Most of what I found was expensive, complicated or designed for a different kind of business. So I built the platform I wish had existed.

Talk to us about a bespoke website →Questions recruiters ask
What is a recruitment website builder?
It's a way to create and run a recruitment website yourself, with jobs, applications and CV handling already built in. You don't need a developer or plugins.
How much does it cost?
Eco is £10/month, Agency is £20/month and Premium is £30/month. There are no setup fees, and you can try any plan free for 14 days without a card.
How much can I change after launch?
Almost everything: your design, layout, words, colours, fonts, pictures, sections and menu. Your content stays put if you switch design. Each design sets the order of its sections, and you choose which ones show.
Do I need any technical knowledge?
No. Setup takes about five minutes, and you can edit everything from a simple dashboard.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Agency and Premium. You'll need to own the domain already, and connecting it takes about 10 minutes.
How do applications reach me?
By email, the moment a candidate applies, with their details, any covering note and their CV. You can reply from your inbox.
Will my jobs appear on Google?
Every job carries the structured data that makes it eligible for Google for Jobs. Google decides which jobs it shows, and how long a new site takes to appear varies.
Can I run confidential adverts?
Yes. Each job can be branded with your client's name and logo, or kept confidential.
What happens if I cancel?
You can cancel from your dashboard at any time. On a paid plan, your site stays live until the end of the period you've paid for. You can download your data first.
