For the last 14 years the language job sector has been dominated by 1 major job board. Over the years this job board has dropped down in popularity for a number of reasons. One of job board has taken it’s place as the market leaders in language recruitment across the EU and UK. However there is clearly a gap in the market for a niche language job board for bilingual staff.
Why should you use a niche language job board?
There is no doubt that if you advertise on Indeed, Total Jobs, CV-Library or Reed you will receive a higher number of applications. However how relevant will they be? As an experienced language recruiter I know for a fact that if you are looking to recruit for a German speaker in the UK, you are going to have a tough time with the large generalist job boards. So if it is the question of which is better:
A Niche job board vs Generalist job board, a niche job board will provide the quality of applications and the generalist job boards will provide the quantity.
Why are niche language job board so expensive?
If you take a look at the 3 most successful paid language job board you will see an average price of £365 per job posting which is even more expensive that the generalist larger job boards. The reason being there is no alternative and they control the traffic for language job seekers however there is an alternative.
