For recruiters, contractors and employers
Candidates who already know what card they need
Free vacancy listings on role pages built for the Universal Bedford project — plus the one thing no other job board can offer you: somewhere for your placements to live.
Why we are worth ten minutes
Universal recruits its own permanent resort staff. It does not recruit the 20,000 construction workers — the appointed contractors do, and mostly through their subcontractors and labour agencies. If that is you, this site is aimed squarely at you.
Every construction recruiter in the region is chasing the same Universal packages, and none of them has a phase-by-phase demand map. We built one — 9 phases, 52 roles, mapped to when each is actually needed.
We are not competing with you. We do not place candidates and we take nothing from workers. We are a content property that attracts the people you want to hire, and we would rather send them to you than sit on them.
And we will be straight about where we are: early. We will tell you our real numbers when we talk rather than dress them up here.

No commitment, no contract. Tell us who you are and what you recruit for, and we’ll come back with our actual numbers.
Recruiters & employers: common questions
- What does it cost?
- Nothing, and nothing for the founding cohort indefinitely. We need supply and liquidity far more than listing fees. If paid placement is introduced later it will be optional, clearly priced, and never applied retroactively to anyone who signed up early.
- Are you a competitor?
- No. We are not an employment agency, we do not place candidates, we take no fee from workers, and we have no interest in becoming a recruiter. We are a content and data property that happens to attract exactly the people you are trying to hire.
- How much traffic do you have?
- We are early and we would rather tell you the real numbers directly than put an inflated figure on a landing page. Register and we will send you our actual search and click data so you can judge whether it is worth your time.
- What makes your candidates different?
- They arrive pre-educated. We cover 25 cards, tickets and checks in detail, so applicants generally know whether they need a CSCS Green card, an SIA licence, food hygiene or a DBS check before they contact you. That measurably reduces screening time, which is the only agency metric that really matters.
- Do you cover hospitality as well as construction?
- Yes, and that is deliberate. The roughly 8,000 permanent roles are overwhelmingly hospitality, retail, ride operations, facilities and corporate. We cover 52 roles across twelve families, not just trades.
- What is the accommodation angle?
- If you are placing someone from outside the area, they need somewhere to live within reach of Kempston Hardwick. Our sister site room-rent.co.uk maps every town and village by real distance, indicative rent and commute. No competing job board can solve that for you.
