UK job board with 21M CVs, recruitment software, and programmatic hiring platform
CV-Library operates a two-sided recruitment marketplace—a candidate database and employer job-posting platform—alongside a SaaS hiring-software stack built on Next.js, React, and AWS. The tech roadmap and pain-point data reveal a company aggressively optimizing its advertising operations: consent compliance, tracking attribution, and CPC arbitrage scaling appear repeatedly, suggesting a shift toward programmatic job advertising and publisher network expansion. Marketing-led hiring velocity (8 of 16 active roles, accelerating) aligns with those priorities.
CV-Library is a privately held job board founded in 2000, headquartered in Fleet, Hampshire. The company operates the UK's largest independent job site, serving employers and recruitment agencies with access to a database of more than 21 million CVs and a range of job-posting options including permanent, graduate, contract, and freelance placements. Beyond listings, CV-Library provides SaaS hiring tools (targeted advertising, performance-based recruitment packages) and marketing technology. The company employs 201–500 people and maintains hiring presence in the United Kingdom and South Africa.
CV-Library's CV database contains more than 21 million candidate profiles, accessible to employers and agencies posting job vacancies on the platform.
