What a reverse recruiter actually does

A traditional recruiter works for the employer and is paid to fill a role. A reverse recruiter works for you: the focus is finding roles that suit you, not filling one company's vacancy.

PBridge works on your side in Bristol. We search across job boards and company career pages, tailor your CV for each role, and apply to the ones you approve. Employers hire you directly.

On your side

We are not paid by employers, so the only goal is roles that fit you.

Wider than one agency

We search across major job boards, applicant tracking systems and company career pages.

You stay in control

Nothing is sent without your approval.

Reverse recruiter and agencies

How a reverse recruiter fits alongside UK recruitment agencies

A UK recruitment agency is paid by the employer when it fills a vacancy, so it works from the vacancies it holds. That is useful when your profile matches one of them, and silent when it does not.

We start from you instead. Each week we search direct employer openings and agency adverts together, and you choose which ones we apply to. You can keep working with your own recruiters at the same time.

Agency adverts included

A large share of adverts on Reed, Totaljobs and CV-Library are posted by agencies. We apply to those too.

Direct employers as well

Company career pages and portals that agencies do not cover.

No exclusivity

Tell us which agencies and employers already have your CV, and we avoid sending it twice.

How it works

You approve. We apply. Every week.

How our reverse recruiter works in Bristol

Nothing is sent without your approval, and every application is tracked with proof. This is the difference between PBridge and auto-apply tools that fire your CV at everything.

  3. 03 · We tailor and submit

    For each approved role we tailor your CV and cover letter, complete the employer's application form and submit it in your name.

  4. 04 · You see the proof

    Each submission is logged on your dashboard with a confirmation. Replies and interview requests reach you directly.

Applying in Bristol

What applies across the United Kingdom

Bristol combines aerospace and engineering (Airbus, Rolls-Royce and their supply chain around Filton), a strong creative and media sector, fintech and software firms, two large universities and the NHS, with Bath's tech and publishing employers a short train ride away.

It is a smaller market than Manchester or Birmingham, so good roles close quickly. We source across Bristol, Bath and the wider West of England, tailor your CV for each role and apply the day a suitable posting appears, with your approval.

Read client success stories Read the service agreement

Can I use a reverse recruiter and recruitment agencies at the same time?

Yes. Tell us which agencies and employers already hold your CV so the same role is not applied to twice.

Do you apply to roles advertised by UK agencies?

Yes. Agency adverts are part of the weekly list alongside direct employer openings, and you approve each one.

How is this different from a recruitment agency?

Agencies work for employers and only put you forward for their own vacancies. We work for you across the whole market.

Do employers pay you?

No. We do not take fees from employers or a share of your salary.

Do you only apply in Bristol?

No. We cover Bristol, Bath, Swindon and the rest of Bristol, and you can add any other location in the UK or abroad to your targets at any time.

Can you focus on employers that sponsor visas?

Yes. When you tell us you need sponsorship, we prioritise roles from employers on the UK register of licensed sponsors and flag them on your weekly list.

Do you apply through NHS Jobs and Civil Service Jobs?

Yes, where the role fits your profile. These portals ask for detailed supporting statements, which we tailor to the person specification for each role.

Is it allowed to have someone apply for me?

Yes. Applications are made in your name, with your real experience and documents, and you approve every role before we apply. Employers hire you directly.

Ready to stop applying and start interviewing?

Upload your CV, set your targets in Bristol, and approve your first weekly list.
