Advertise a job on CV-Library
CV-Library does not publish an employer price we can read — both of their recruiter pages blocked our request, which we show below rather than fill in from a listicle. What we can tell you exactly is our own side: it is included on Premium (£499 +VAT) and Premium Plus (£599 +VAT), posted by hand by our team rather than fed automatically, alongside the rest of the spread on one flat fee with no commission when you hire. If a single board is all you want, ask them for a quote before you buy anything from us.
What we checked, and when
Every claim on this page, with how we checked it
-
CV-Library does not publish a price we can read. Both cv-library.co.uk/recruiters and /recruiters/pricing answered an automated request with HTTP 403, and a real browser was served a security block naming our IP address.
HTTP request and then a rendered browser session from our own server. Checked 2026-09-10.
What it costs here
One flat fee per vacancy — never a percentage.
It sits on the two Premium packages rather than Standard, because ours is a manual posting rather than an automated feed. It makes no difference to what a candidate sees.
Every package is a 28-day listing on Indeed, Adzuna, Google for Jobs, LinkedIn, CV-Library, Totaljobs and Jobsite, plus over 100 micro and aggregator job sites. CV-Library is included on Premium and Premium Plus (posted for the client by our team).

One role, in full
Senior Support Worker — 76 days, 33 candidates worked
Thirty-three candidates worked for one hire — the kind of volume role where buying advertising in bulk is the cheaper decision.
| Time to fill | 76 days |

| Sourced & screened | 33 |
| Internal interview | 24 |
| Presented to client | 8 |

That is a Guaranteed Hire placement — our managed service, bought and priced separately from advertising, with its own terms. It is on this page because it is the honest shape of a hire: an advert puts a role in front of the market, and this is what working that market took. The full funnel and all 4 roles in this sector are on the care & social care case studies.
Where we are not the right answer
We cannot tell you what CV-Library charges directly, because they will not show it to us — and if you are buying at volume, a direct account negotiated with them may well beat what a single advert through us costs. Ask them for a quote before you assume otherwise.
What we can tell you exactly is our own half: which package it is on, that a person here posts it, what the whole spread costs, and what a pack of credits costs if you are hiring more than once. All of that is on this page.
Fair questions
Why is it on Premium rather than the £399 Standard package?
Because ours is a manual posting: somebody here places it rather than a feed pushing it. Premium is £100 more than Standard and also carries the featured listing badge, social promotion and the day-14 refresh, so the £100 is not buying one board.
Can I add it to a Standard package instead?
The clean route is Premium, which includes it. Call us if you would rather talk it through — we will tell you straight if Standard plus your own posting is the better buy for the role you have.
Do credits work across packages?
Yes. Credits are bought at a package rate and used for any package, they never expire, and the pack discount is applied at the point of purchase — the table on this page shows the ladder. Beyond the published packs, call and we will price it.
Do I get the CVs, or do you?
You do, into your own dashboard, whichever board they came from. We do not sit between you and the applicant, and we do not charge a fee when you hire one.
What if the advert draws nothing?
Tell us and we will look at it with you — the usual causes are pay below the local band, a title nobody searches for, or an advert that reads like a job description. Our salary checker and advert generator are free and will answer the first two before you spend anything.
If you are filling several roles this year, credits are the part worth reading. They never expire and they are not tied to a package at the point of buying.
