Workcircle

What Workcircle does

Workcircle is a UK-based vertical job search engine that aggregates job listings from multiple UK job boards, employers, and recruitment agencies into a single searchable platform, currently indexing approximately 1,451,653 jobs. The platform is operated by Adeevo Ltd, a privately held UK limited company, and serves individual job seekers through a self-serve interface accessible at workcircle.co.uk. The core product is a job aggregation engine that crawls and indexes third-party listings, exposing them through keyword search with Boolean-style operators (+ for must-include, - for exclude, quoted strings for exact match) as well as browsable category and location directories covering dozens of occupational categories and all major UK regions.

The underlying technology is a vertical search index; the platform does not disclose proprietary ML components, semantic embeddings, or ranking algorithms, and the user-facing experience is built around classic keyword retrieval. There is no native mobile app, no public API, and no disclosed SDK or developer integrations in the source data. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer via organic and SEO-driven traffic to category and location landing pages; the platform does not list social media accounts, paid acquisition channels, or partnerships in the available data.

The business model is advertising-based: employers, recruitment agencies, and job boards pay to advertise vacancies on the platform to reach UK job seekers, though pricing is not publicly disclosed and the input data does not provide revenue figures, paying-customer counts, or contracted enterprise relationships. The company has no disclosed external funding, operates with 1-10 employees, and is led by founders Simon Appleton (CEO) and Tony Jewell (CTO). It serves exclusively the United Kingdom market with no stated global footprint.
