Broad incumbents

• CV-Library: Large UK generalist job board with extensive public sector listings. Competes with WMJobs for employer recruitment advertising spend and job seeker attention across the UK.
• Indeed UK: Global generalist job search engine with dominant UK traffic. Aggregates public sector roles from many sources and competes with WMJobs for both employer visibility and job seeker search intent.
• Reed: One of the largest UK generalist job boards and recruitment firms. Broader in scope than WMJobs but competes for the same advertising dollars from public sector employers and the same job seeker traffic across the West Midlands.
• Totaljobs: Major UK generalist job board owned by StepStone. Overlaps with WMJobs on public sector job postings and job seeker search; a broad incumbent rather than a public-sector specialist.

Others

• Madgex: Job board technology platform that powers WMJobs and many other niche UK job boards. Not a competitor but an enabling technology and infrastructure provider closely tied to WMJobs' operating model.

Direct peers

• LocalGov Jobs: UK-focused job board dedicated to local government vacancies. Directly competes for the same council employers and council job seekers that WMJobs serves in the West Midlands.
• Jobs Go Public: UK public sector job board covering local and central government roles nationally. Closely comparable to WMJobs in target audience (public sector employers and job seekers) and product (online job listings and CV search).
• Teaching Vacancies: UK government-run job board for the state-funded education sector. Closely comparable as a public-sector-specialist job board serving schools and trusts, mirroring WMJobs' education sub-hub and education-segment employers.
• NHS Jobs: UK national job board exclusively for NHS public sector healthcare employers. Directly comparable as a vertical public-sector recruitment platform targeting the same employer and job seeker archetypes as WMJobs, just focused on healthcare rather than local government.

Regional players

• Yorkshire Jobs: Regional UK job board focused on Yorkshire, analogous in product model (regional job board) to WMJobs but serving a different UK region, illustrating the replicable regional playbook.
