How it works
From request to your first applicant in four steps.
Step 1: Request an account
Tell us about your company and who's hiring. It takes about two minutes.
Step 2: We review it
Our team checks every company, usually within two working days, so candidates only see real employers.
Step 3: Set your password
Once approved, you get an email with a link to set your password and open your company dashboard.
Step 4: Post jobs and hire
Publish jobs, receive applications with CVs, and move each applicant through your process.
Everything you need to hire
One place for your jobs and your applicants, without spreadsheets or long email threads.
Your own company dashboard
Post, edit and close jobs whenever you need. Your jobs show your company's name on Career Reads.
Applications with CVs
Candidates apply on Career Reads with their CV, a note and answers to your screening questions.
Status updates, no emails needed
Move an applicant to Reviewed, Shortlisted, Interview or Offer. They see it straight away in their account.
Alerts for new applicants
We email you when someone applies. Reply to that email to reach the candidate directly.
Screening questions
Ask what matters to you, like notice period or night shifts, and see the answers next to each CV.
Private by design
CVs are stored privately. Only your team and Career Reads' own admins can open them.
Keep candidates in the loop
Every status you set in your dashboard shows up on the candidate's My applications page, in plain words. No more chasing replies, and no candidate left wondering.
For interviews and offers, reach the candidate directly by email or phone from their application.

Questions employers ask
Who can request a company account?
Any registered business, agency or organisation hiring for real roles. Please use your work email and tell us your company's website if it has one.
How long does approval take?
Usually within two working days. If we need anything else, we'll reply to the email you give us.
Are jobs checked before they go live?
Yes. New companies' jobs are reviewed by our editors before they're published, to keep Career Reads free of misleading ads. Trusted companies can publish straight away.
Can colleagues use the account too?
Yes. Each person gets their own sign-in for your company. Contact us with their name and work email and we'll invite them.
How do candidates hear back from us?
Change an applicant's status in your dashboard and they see it on their My applications page. For interviews and offers, contact them using the email and phone number on their application.
Can we charge candidates to apply?
No. Asking candidates for money to apply, interview or get a job isn't allowed on Career Reads, and we close accounts that do.
Request a company account
Tell us about your company. We'll review your request and email you within two working days.
