The short answer
How much does a recruitment website cost?
A recruitment website with a job board fed live from your CRM typically costs several thousand pounds up front from a specialist agency, plus monthly hosting and support. A new or small agency often doesn't need that yet. Ours start at £49 a month with no upfront fee: a professional site with current jobs, CV upload and employer pages, live within 1 working day of your answers. No contract.

What a recruitment agency's website needs
Four things I put on every recruitment website, because candidates and clients both look for them.
- Job listings, easy to scan
Current jobs near the top of the home page with title, location, salary and contract type, so candidates see live roles straight away.
- CV upload and quick apply
A “Send your CV” button in the header and a short quick-apply form. Long registration forms lose candidates on mobile.
- Separate pages for employers and candidates
Each side gets its own route: jobs and advice for candidates, your process and terms for employers.
- Sectors and locations you cover
Named sectors and towns, so candidates and clients can tell straight away if you are the right agency for them.
On this page
Two audiences, one website
A recruitment website has two jobs that pull in different directions. Candidates want to see live roles, apply in a minute from their phone and know someone will get back to them. Employers want to see that you understand their sector, have good people on your books and will save them time.
Most small agency sites let one side down. Either they're a job list with no reason for an employer to call, or a polished sales pitch with two jobs from last spring. The fix is a clear split from the home page, “I'm looking for work” and “I'm hiring”, each with its own pages, form and proof.
Most candidates will first see your roles on job boards or LinkedIn. Your own site is where they, and the employers you pitch to, check you're credible before they commit, so it has to look current.
What to put on a recruitment agency website
The pages and features a small agency actually needs. Send me the details and I'll write them up.
-
Current jobs
Title, location, salary or rate, permanent or temporary, and a short description. Take filled roles down promptly.
-
Quick apply with CV upload
Name, contact details, the role and a CV. Nothing more until you've spoken.
-
An employers page
The sectors and roles you cover, how you screen candidates, your process and a form to brief you on a vacancy.
-
Memberships and privacy
REC or APSCo membership if you hold it, and a privacy notice explaining how you handle and keep CVs.
-
What happens after someone applies
How quickly you reply and what the next steps are. Only promise what you'll actually do.
-
Proof from both sides
Reviews from placed candidates and hiring managers, plus the kinds of roles you've filled.
Try a recruitment website with your agency's name
The live recruitment template splits job seekers and employers from the first screen, with current jobs near the top. Type your agency's name at the top of the page to see it filled in.
What to notice
- “Send your CV” sits in the header on every page
- Latest jobs come straight after the introduction, with salary and contract type
- The services cover employers and job seekers separately, so each finds their part quickly
What a recruitment website typically costs
The realistic options for a new or small agency, and what you get for the money.
| Recruitment web specialist | CRM website add-on | MonthlySite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Typically £3,000 to £15,000 | Varies by CRM | £0 |
| Monthly cost | Hosting and support extra | Added to your CRM bill | £49 to £99, all in |
| Jobs | Live feed from your CRM | Live from the CRM | Added by email |
| Design | Made for you | Usually a template | Made for you, 3 styles |
| Contract | Per project, often a term | Tied to your CRM | None |
Figures are typical UK ranges for a small agency site, not quotes.
If you're posting dozens of roles a week, or want candidate logins and job alerts, you need a job board fed live from your CRM, and a specialist is worth paying for. If you have a handful of live roles and need to look established, we're the lighter, cheaper option, and you can cancel any month if you outgrow us.
From preview to live within 1 working day of your answers
-
Step 1: Build your preview
Pick recruitment agency and type your agency name. About a minute, no card needed.
-
Step 2: Answer a few quick questions
Sectors, locations, current roles, how you work with employers and any testimonials.
-
Step 3: I build and write it
Candidate and employer pages, job listings and forms, all checked on phones.
-
Step 4: Live, then kept current
It goes live within 1 working day of your answers. After that, email or WhatsApp me new roles and I'll add them.
Getting found by candidates and employers
Candidates search job boards and Google's own job listings far more than they search agency websites, so don't expect your site to replace them. Where search helps a small agency is by place and specialism: “recruitment agency in Warrington”, “construction recruitment Cheshire”, “temp agency near me”.
Growth includes a Google Business Profile, which matters for “near me” searches, plus local SEO. Pro adds up to 10 pages, enough for a page per sector or area you recruit in. I won't promise rankings. I'll give you a site with the right foundations.
MonthlySite is new. I'm not.

Questions recruitment agencies ask
Message CharlieI reply within one working dayAsk me on WhatsApp (opens WhatsApp in a new tab)
Can you show our live jobs on the website?
Yes. On our plans, jobs are listed as simple entries that I add and remove when you email me. If your CRM offers a jobs widget or feed you can embed, I can usually add that instead, so roles update automatically. Tell me which CRM you use and I'll check.
Can candidates upload their CV?
Yes. The application form takes a CV along with the candidate's name, contact details and the role they're interested in, and sends it to your inbox. You'll need a privacy notice explaining how you store and use CVs and how long you keep them, and I'll put yours on the site.
How often can I update job listings?
On Growth and Pro, adding and removing roles counts as small edits, within fair use, and Pro's edits are made within 48 hours. Starter includes 1 change a month, which won't suit most agencies. If you post several new roles a day, a CRM-fed job board will suit you better.
What should a recruitment website include?
Current jobs with salary, location and contract type, a quick apply form with CV upload, a page for employers explaining how you work, the sectors and areas you cover, your memberships, and reviews from candidates and clients. Keep it simple enough that it's always up to date.
Do job adverts on our website have to follow any rules?
Yes. The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 cover job adverts, including showing your agency's full name and whether you're acting as an agency or an employment business, and the Equality Act 2010 applies to the wording. Check the current guidance from the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate.
Can we start with you and move to a bigger platform later?
Yes. There's no contract, so you can cancel any month. Your domain is registered in your name and you keep your text and photos, so moving to a CRM-fed website later is straightforward.
