How to Apply for Jobs on Extra Workforce
Looking for your next opportunity? At Extra Workforce, applying for jobs is simple and flexible, giving you multiple ways to connect with employers and recruiters across the UK. Whether you're applying directly on the platform or being redirected to an external site, we make it easy to manage your job applications and take the next step in your career.
Two Types of Job Applications on Extra Workforce
When browsing job listings on Extra Workforce, you’ll notice two main ways to apply:
1. Apply Now (Easily Apply via Extra Workforce)
Jobs marked with the ‘Apply Now’ button can be applied to directly through the Extra Workforce platform. This is the quickest method, and your profile, CV, and application details will be sent straight to the employer or recruiter within our system.
2. Apply on Company Website
Some jobs will include an ‘Apply on company site’ button. This means the employer prefers to receive applications through their own careers page or recruitment portal. Clicking this will take you away from the Extra Workforce website. These external applications may require additional steps, such as creating an account or completing detailed forms. Please note: for these types of applications, communication will be directly between you and the hiring company.
Use Your CV with Flexibility
When applying through Extra Workforce, you can either upload your own CV or link to your online CV. A completed Extra Workforce profile increases your chances of being shortlisted and makes it easier for recruiters to assess your experience.

To use this feature, you must be signed in to your Extra Workforce account. All your saved jobs will be accessible in the ‘My Jobs’ section of your dashboard.
