For jobseekers

Salary information

Every HiredToday listing shows its salary whenever the employer provides one, so you can compare roles before you apply. Use the search filters on the jobs page to narrow by title and location, and read the salary line on each card.

Applying well

Keep your profile accurate and current, employers see what you share, and your CV is built from it. A short, honest summary beats a long generic one. When you get an interview invitation, picking a time quickly keeps you near the top of the employer's list.

Job alerts

Save a search on the jobs page and HiredToday emails you when matching roles go live. You can turn alerts on or off any time from your dashboard.

For employers

Writing a listing that works

Clear titles, honest salary ranges and a short list of real requirements attract better applicants than long wish-lists. Our AI helper can draft a description from your notes, you always review it before anything goes live.

International recruitment

You can hire candidates based outside the UK, but you are responsible for checking every worker's right to work before they start, whatever their nationality. HiredToday flags Right to Work in your checks pipeline so it is never skipped. If you are unsure, ask us via the contact page.

Recruiter support

Hiring regularly or in volume? Subscription plans bring the per-listing cost down, and our team is on office@hiredtoday.co.uk for anything bespoke.
