The UK’s specialist hospitality job board
LeisureJobs.com is the UK’s leading specialist job board for hospitality. Unlike generalist job sites, every single candidate on the LeisureJobs network has a genuine interest in working in the leisure and hospitality sector — making it far more effective for pub recruitment than posting on mainstream platforms.
With over 1.4 million registered users and 300,000+ unique visitors every month, LeisureJobs presents your vacancies to a highly relevant audience across their full network of specialist sites.
How to make a real difference to your applications
Daniel shares the three things that consistently separate high-performing pub job ads from the ones that disappear without a trace.
Always show the salary. Candidates need to understand the rates of pay to make relevant applications. Listing jobs as “Competitive” doesn’t help the candidate or you — it just means they move on to the next listing. Be upfront and you’ll get better, more relevant applications.
Be transparent about what the role involves. Be honest about expected shift patterns, flexibility requirements, and what a typical week looks like. Candidates who know what they’re signing up for stay longer and perform better from day one.
Respond quickly. It’s a competitive market and good candidates move fast. Engaging with strong applicants within 24 hours significantly increases your chance of securing them. Every day you wait, a competitor pub could be making an offer.
Employment law changes you need to know about
LeisureJobs keeps a close eye on the legislative landscape so you don’t have to. Here are the upcoming changes that will affect how you recruit and manage your team.
2026
New National Minimum & Living Wage Rates
New NMW and NLW rates come into effect. Ensure your job adverts and contracts reflect the updated figures from day one.
2026
Statutory Sick Pay Payable from Day 1
SSP becomes payable from the first day of sickness — removing the previous three-day waiting period. Factor this into your cost planning and staff contracts.
2026
Stronger Anti-Harassment Laws
New legislation comes into effect covering third-party harassment, including harassment by customers. Review your policies and ensure your team knows what to do.
2026
Tighter Tipping Legislation
Tighter rules on tipping distribution come into force, building on recent service charge reforms. Make sure your tipping policy is documented and compliant.
Trusted by leading hospitality businesses
We have been using Leisurejobs for a number of years now, in that time we have managed to attract a good number of relevant candidates to our business, whilst making some great hires as well. Our jobs are automatically picked up from our careers website, which makes posting and maximizing our exposure far easier and better. The branding we receive also helps to sell who Whiting & Hammond are and what we are about. I would have no hesitations in recommending Leisurejobs to likeminded businesses within the Hospitality/Pub Sectors
We have been working with Leisurejobs for 3 years now. In that time we have managed to fill a large number of roles through different methods, be that adverts or via the CV searching function. The “unlimited” adverts means we don’t have to be specific on what we are posting and therefore enables us to gain a steady flow of applications for each role. The branding via the mini-site has also been a great tool to help us have an engaging careers page at no additional costs!
We have been working with Leisurejobs for a good number of years now. As a multi operating organisation, we need to ensure that our brands are made aware of and as such candidates are understanding who and what they are applying to. On top of this it is also important that we get great exposure across all of our vacancies. With the branded mini sites and unlimited advertising, this has enabled us to achieve this and as such allowed us to get great returns on our investment, by putting us in front of industry relevant candidates. I would have no hesitation in recommending Leisurejobs for similar operators in the hospitality sector.

Your team is your pub. Get the right people through the door.
Recruitment is one of the biggest ongoing challenges for pub operators — and getting it wrong is expensive. A bad hire, or an unfilled role dragging on for weeks, costs you in ways that go well beyond the salary.
LeisureJobs exists specifically for this sector. The candidates on their platform aren’t just looking for any job — they want to work in hospitality. That makes every pound you spend on recruitment work harder.
As an SBP member, you access rates that make this one of the most cost-effective recruitment options available to any pub in the UK.
Pubs are the backbone of British hospitality — and brilliant pub teams are the backbone of great pubs. I’ve spent years connecting hospitality businesses with the right people, and I know how much a strong team changes everything. That’s why I’m delighted to be part of the Save British Pubs campaign — and why I wanted to make our rates genuinely accessible for SBP members.

From market towns to city centres, our beloved pubs are disappearing at an alarming rate. These aren't just buildings - they're the soul of our communities, where friendships are forged, stories are shared, and British culture lives and breathes.
