You are missing a lot if you are not using apps in your job search as there are some vacancies which are only advertised on forums and in blogs which should be monitored frequently to get the best out of them. Many recruitment sites have applications for mobile phones and tablets for jobseekers to use them even when they are on mobile phones.
There are many statistics out there, and if we search for long enough we will be able to substantiate the claim with figures, but the knowledge is already there – the more you get your name out there and find out about vacancies that are available, the more likely you are to be front in the queue for the jobs. So don’t miss out on any opportunities to find your next great career break. We have provided some information about the main job search apps for you to get started.

Gumtree: This platform is not a dedicated job site however there are features which allow you to do a job search and it is very popular for jobseekers. Gumtree allows you to list items for sale, and opportunities, hence it being appropriate in this list. The search functions allow you to define what you are looking for so check it out, it might be just what you are looking for!
Reed: No 1 Uk job site is what they claim to be in their slogan, however we couldn’t find any mobile app on either Android or iPhone. It would seem that Reed are missing out on an important feature by not providing an app for mobile internet users.
