Guardian Jobs

One of the UK’s first online recruitment sites (1996) and, for three decades, the channel through which charities, schools, universities, and the public sector hired. It went out carrying nearly 15,000 live listings — not a zombie board coasting on domain authority, but a casualty of a UK market with vacancies at a five-year low when the Guardian announced its closure in September 2026. The Doctor’s full post-mortem, tracing the revenue trail from the 2008 peak to the announcement, is on the blog.
