Why people look past Graduate-jobs.com

Prices are not published, so you need a quote before you can compare cost. A standard post runs for 21 days unless you pay for a longer period, and renewals are charged at the normal rate.

What we noted

No published prices
Standard posts run only 21 days unless extended
Audience limited to UK graduate and entry-level talent

Not the right fit for

Experienced or senior hires
Hiring outside the UK
Buyers who need a published price before committing

What each one does differently

Handshake

Quote-based Free tier

Why it comes up: Handshake connects employers to students through university career services and is strongest in the US, while Graduate-jobs.com is a UK open board.

Stands out: The campus network students already use, so the pipeline is there before you are.

Watch out: It is a supply channel, not a tracker, and it is weak for senior hiring.

Best for

University recruiting teams
Early-career programmes at large employers
Talent teams filling intern and graduate roles

Resume-Library

$348/mo

Why it comes up: Resume-Library is a UK CV database and job board covering all experience levels, not only graduates.

Stands out: Search is unlimited-user: the 30-day search includes 100 contact unlocks and matching resumes to the inbox. The talent pool is marketed as 220 million-plus US profiles with AI Smart Match.

Watch out: $279 is labeled a new-customer offer, not the standing Starter package. Multi-user and enterprise packages go through sales. Unlock credits, not seats, gate full contact details.

Best for

US staffing firms that want resume search without per-seat pricing
SMBs filling roles across sectors from one database
Teams that prefer pay-for-performance job posts alongside search

Indeed

PPC / subscription Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Indeed offers free and sponsored posts to a much larger general audience, without a graduate-only CV pool.

Stands out: The board candidates actually open, with MCP and an API on top.

Watch out: Pay-per-click spend can outrun a small budget quickly, and it is not your ATS.

Best for

Almost every employer buying application volume
Teams that already live on sponsored jobs
Employers who want organic and paid on one board
