E4S
UK job board for student, part-time, internship, school leaver and graduate roles, with standard job listings from £69 and CV database unlocks from £1.50.
From £69/job
Bottom line
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.
Stands out for: 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 for: 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.
