Alternatives
Recruitment Genius alternatives for UK employers
If you came looking for Recruitment Genius, here is what we could verify on 10 September 2026 and nothing more: RECRUITMENT GENIUS LIMITED (06857225) is on the Companies House register as active but carries a proposal to strike off, its accounts have been overdue since March 2020, and recruitmentgenius.com returns HTTP 404. We are not telling you the business has closed. If you need the same thing — a flat fee to advertise a vacancy, with no commission when you hire — that is what we sell, from £399 +VAT.

Where Recruitment Genius is the better answer
Recruitment Genius sold a flat-fee advertising product very like ours, and for years it was cheaper than ours. If they answer the phone and the price still works for you, take it.
If you need the advert live this week, ours is a flat fee per vacancy with the price shown before you commit and no commission when you hire.
What it costs here
One flat fee per vacancy — never a percentage.
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).

Fair questions
Has Recruitment Genius stopped trading?
We cannot tell you that, and we are not going to imply it. What we can tell you is that on 10 September 2026 the register showed an active proposal to strike the company off, its accounts had been overdue since March 2020, and its website returned a 404. Check the register yourself before you decide.
What was Recruitment Genius?
A flat-fee job advertising service for UK employers — one payment per vacancy, multi-board distribution, no commission on hire. The same shape of product as our advertising packages.
I paid them and my advert has not appeared. What now?
We cannot help with another company's order. If you paid by card, your card provider is the first call. If you need the role advertised in the meantime, ours starts at £399 +VAT and you see the advert before you pay.
What is the closest equivalent?
A flat fee per vacancy with multi-board distribution and no commission — which is what our Standard, Premium and Premium Plus packages are. Compare them on the post-a-job page rather than taking our word for it.
