Where to post a job in London
London is large enough to behave like several recruitment markets at once. A vacancy in Canary Wharf, Croydon, Shoreditch or Heathrow can appeal to very different candidates, so the strongest campaign often combines broad national reach with one or more London-focused channels.

Visit Reed- Strong London brand visibility
Reed has repeatedly invested in London commuter advertising, including Underground campaigns and Elizabeth line advertising.

Visit Just London Jobs- London is the core proposition
Unlike a national job board with a London filter, the site is built around people searching specifically for work in the capital.
- Cross-sector coverage
The site organises London vacancies by sector rather than limiting itself to one profession or industry.
- Candidate alerts and CV tools
Job alerts and CV functionality help employers remain visible to candidates who repeatedly search the London market.
City of London Jobs
A location-led recruitment site focused on City of London and Greater London vacancies, with CV registration, job alerts and employer search tools.
Visit City of London Jobs- Strong location intent
The site is explicitly built around jobs in the City of London and Greater London rather than a nationwide search experience.
- Useful for central-London hiring
A good complementary channel when the physical workplace or commute into central London is an important part of the vacancy.
- Candidate registration and alerts
CV registration and job alerts provide more than a one-off vacancy listing experience for London jobseekers.
A London-focused site gives the vacancy local relevance, while larger platforms can add scale. Career Poster can combine both approaches depending on your package.

Tips for advertising a job in London
In London, location can influence an application almost as much as the job itself. Make the commute, working arrangement and salary easy to judge before a candidate has to search for extra information.
Be more specific than “London”
Use the borough, district or postcode area where useful. “London” alone can mean a very different commute depending on where the workplace actually is.
Name the nearest station
Adding the nearest Tube, rail or Overground station — and approximate walking time — lets candidates judge the commute quickly.
Give exact hybrid expectations
State whether the role requires two, three or five days in the workplace rather than using “hybrid” without explanation.
Benchmark the salary for London
London candidates often compare similar opportunities side by side, so use a realistic local salary range and show any London weighting separately where applicable.
Explain travel beyond the main office
If the role covers multiple London sites, client locations or areas inside the M25, say how often travel is expected and whether costs are reimbursed.
Think about late finishes
For hospitality, healthcare, security and shift roles, explain late-finish transport, parking or taxi arrangements where public transport could be limited.
Clarify which office candidates will use
If your company has several London offices or coworking spaces, identify the normal base rather than making candidates guess after applying.
Highlight travel-related benefits
Season-ticket loans, travel allowances, cycle schemes, parking or other commuting support can be especially relevant in a London vacancy.
What candidates living in London want to understand from your advert
A London candidate may be comparing several opportunities that look similar on paper. These practical details can decide whether your vacancy feels realistic enough to apply for.
Review your London advertWhere is the workplace exactly?
Borough, area, postcode and nearest station can matter more than the word “London”.
How many days must they commute?
Give a real office-attendance expectation rather than leaving “hybrid” open to interpretation.
Is the commute practical?
Station access, walking time and travel between sites help candidates estimate time and cost.
Does the salary reflect the London role?
A visible range helps candidates compare your opportunity with other roles in the same local market.
Will the hours work with public transport?
This matters particularly for early starts, late finishes, weekend work and shift-based vacancies.
Will they travel elsewhere in London?
Explain client visits, multiple offices, field work and reimbursement so the advertised location matches the real job.

Answers to common questions about posting London vacancies, choosing job boards and making your location clearer to candidates.
Ask us about your London vacancyWhere is the best place to advertise a job in London?
The best channel depends on the role. Reed and LinkedIn provide broad or professional reach, while Just London Jobs and City of London Jobs provide a more location-focused London audience. A multi-board campaign can combine these approaches.
How do I post a job in London?
Create a clear advert containing the job title, exact London location, salary, working arrangement and responsibilities, then choose a suitable London or national job board — or use a multi-board advertising package.
Should I put the borough or postcode in a London job advert?
Usually, yes. London covers a very large area, so adding a borough, district, postcode or nearest station can help candidates understand the commute before applying.
Should I include the nearest Tube or rail station?
It can be very useful, particularly for office-based and hybrid roles. Adding the station and approximate walking time makes the physical location much easier to understand.
Should I advertise a salary range for London jobs?
Where possible, yes. London candidates can compare many similar vacancies, and a visible salary range helps them judge seniority and affordability before applying.
Is “hybrid in London” enough information?
It is better to state the expected number of office days and the normal workplace. Hybrid policies can vary significantly between employers.
Can Career Poster advertise London jobs across multiple job boards?
Yes. Career Poster provides multi-board job advertising packages that can distribute London vacancies across relevant premium, specialist and free recruitment channels depending on the package selected.
