Adzuna is a classified ads metasearch engine or vertical search engine in the United Kingdom. The website aggregates job ads from several hundred sources and allows users to search and filter them on a single interface. The Adzuna website only lists the vacancies and the application process is done on the original job site after the user is redirected there.
Product features
[edit]Like other aggregators, Adzuna aggregates vacancies from large job boards (e.g. Monster.com), specialized job portals and employer websites in a single database and enables users to search for vacancies according to criteria such as location and salary. The jobs website also has a social networking component called "Adzuna Connect" [1] which allows users to connect their Facebook or LinkedIn accounts to see vacancies from their first- and second-degree connections' companies and to message them to request a referral.
It lists around 400,000 UK job vacancies at any one time, enough if they were all filled to noticeably reduce the UK's unemployment rate.[2] The large database of job ads collated by the service has allowed the company to produce a number of statistics about trends in the employment market that have been covered in the UK national press.

History and company information
[edit]Adzuna was founded in 2011 by Andrew Hunter, former head of marketing of Gumtree and VP of marketing at Qype, and Doug Monro, former MD of Gumtree and COO of Zoopla. The beta site was launched in April 2011 with £300,000 seed investment from Passion Capital and Angel Investors, followed by a public press launch in July 2011.[7] [8] [9]
Adzuna was named by Startups.co.uk as one of the top 20 UK startups of 2011. [10]
