Gumtree post a job

When Gumtree may fit

Gumtree positions its jobs service around local and high-volume categories including hospitality, construction, logistics, cleaning, retail and sales. That can suit a vacancy where proximity and availability matter more than a specialist professional network. It is not automatically the best match for every role.

Check the full campaign cost

Gumtree’s employer material describes pay-as-you-go adverts, subscriptions and optional visibility products. Capture the price shown for your actual category and location, whether VAT is added, how long the advert remains live, and what a refresh or featured placement changes. Do not rely on a historical price quoted in an undated article.

Improve local response quality

• Use a familiar job title and exact area.
• State shift times, hourly pay and required licences.
• Explain whether travel between sites is required.
• Add screening questions only for genuine essentials.
• Use an application channel that protects candidate data.
