E4S vs Events Jobs UK

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

E4S

£69/job

E4S fits UK employers hiring students, school leavers and graduates for part-time, seasonal, internship and graduate scheme roles. A standard listing costs £69, dropping to £40 each in a 10-pack, and CV database unlocks are £1.50 per candidate. Featured and Top Job upgrades cost £180 and £245, while campaign bundles and email or university reach are quoted. It suits hospitality, events, retail and graduate recruiters who want a student audience rather than a general UK board.

Where E4S fits

  • UK seasonal and summer hiring
  • Part-time student staff
  • Internship and placement programmes
  • Graduate and school leaver schemes

Events Jobs UK

Where Events Jobs UK fits

Where they pull apart

E4S

Stands out: It has run since 2000 as a board built only for students and young jobseekers, from Christmas and summer work to graduate schemes. Pay-per-unlock CV search at £1.50 a candidate lets small employers search without a database subscription.

Watch out: Prices for campaigns, newsletters, e-shots and university portal posting are not published, so larger packages need a quote. The audience is UK students and early careers, so experienced or specialist hires are a poor fit.

Not the right fit for

  • Senior or experienced hires
  • Hiring outside the UK
  • Employers wanting a free job post

Events Jobs UK

Stands out: Jobs are filed by skill type (production, technical and AV, event sales, logistics) and by employer type (venues, exhibition design and build, experiential agencies, technical suppliers), so candidates browse the corner of the industry they work in. Employers posting include BAFTA, the LTA, NEP Group and Alexandra Palace.

Watch out: It is UK only and a young board, so reach is far smaller than Indeed or LinkedIn. The site mentions branded adverts but publishes no price for them, there is no screening or applicant tracking built in, and there are no outside reviews yet.

Not the right fit for

  • Hiring outside the UK
  • Teams that need screening, an ATS or sourcing tools
