The Recruitment and Employment Confederation measures the industry that sits behind those vacancies. Its most recent full-year figures that we have been able to source are for the year to March 2019, published in January 2020, and they showed a record £38.9 billion of turnover across 31,140 agencies. We show the date plainly because the numbers are older than the ONS ones above, and we will not pass them off as current. They still show the scale of the money that moves through the act of matching a person to a role.
Every one of those agencies, and every employer who hires directly, needs a place to send people. A name that says job in everyday English is the front door to that traffic.
What a business could build on YourJob.co.uk
A jobs board for a region or a trade, a recruitment agency brand, a careers and CV service, a staffing platform for temporary work or an AI job-matching tool would all sit naturally on this name. Our lease includes a free 10 page website and an AI assistant, so a new business can be live and testing the market the same week.
Recruitment is a regulated and reputation-sensitive sector, and we do not provide recruitment services. What we offer is the name, leased by the day.
Take the name, or the family around it
YourJob.co.uk is the flagship of our education and careers names. The same family includes YourJob.uk, so one business can hold both addresses a candidate might type, and YourRecruitment.co.uk for the agency side of the market.
