Applications

Choose how candidates apply.

Set the application method for each vacancy when you post it.

Apply through UK Electrical Jobs: Candidates apply on the site and their applications arrive in your employer dashboard, where you can review and track each one.
External application: Candidates are sent to your own application page or ATS. Applications are then handled in your system, not your dashboard.

Verified status is shown only where a worker's ECS card or qualifications have been approved by our team.

Example dashboard view. Names and photographs are fictional.

Reach

Where your vacancy is seen.

Every vacancy is reviewed before it goes live. Once approved, it is listed publicly on the jobs board.

Standard listing

Every approved vacancy gets its own public job page with the details you supplied.
Workers browse and search the jobs board, including role and location pages.
Nothing extra to request, and no fee.

Optional extra promotion

Request promotion for a vacancy from your dashboard.
Our team reviews each request manually. Where a role suits the audience, it may be shared on our social media or relevant WhatsApp groups.
Promotion is not automatic or guaranteed, and each type of sharing is arranged separately.
