How much does it cost to hire ML engineers and researchers in the UK?
From £99 for a 30-day listing on Machine Learning Jobs. Three tiers, three durations, priced up front and paid once — no subscription, no recruiter fee, no percentage of the salary.
- Pay once
- One payment per listing, by card or by invoice. It does not renew, and nothing is charged until you publish.
- Extra boards
- Any of the other fifteen Future Tech Jobs boards for £75 each, on the same listing. Only worth it where the field overlaps — we will say when it does not.
- Longer runs
- Priced as a fixed multiple of the 30-day price, in the table below. Cheaper per day than posting twice, and the listing keeps its search history.

Post a jobWhat the price buys
A higher tier buys speed and certainty — the same audience sees the role sooner and more often. It does not buy a different audience; that is what extra boards are for.
In every listing, including the cheapest one
- A person reviews the advert before it publishes
- Structured for Google Jobs and indexed on the board
- Emailed to matching alert subscribers
- Applications to your inbox or straight into your ATS
- Live for the run you chose, extendable
- No subscription and no auto-renewal
If it does not perform
Every listing carries an application benchmark set from the role itself — pay, contract type, working pattern. Come in under it and we extend the run and re-promote the role at no charge. It is in the terms, not a goodwill gesture.
The advert is the cheapest part of the hire
The midpoint of advertised ML salaries on Machine Learning Jobs is about £105k. A recruitment agency charging 20% of first-year salary on that hire is roughly £21k. The most a listing here can cost — Premium, for the longest run — is £593.
That is not an argument against agencies; for a senior or confidential search they earn their fee. It is an argument for trying the direct route first on any role you can attract yourself — which, on this board, is most of them.
What people ask before they pay
- How much does it cost to hire ML engineers and researchers through Machine Learning Jobs?
- From £99 for a 30-day Standard listing. Featured is £199 and Premium is £349, each for 30 days; longer runs are priced up front. You pay once per listing — no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no fee on the hire.
- How long does a listing run for, and what does a longer run cost?
- A listing runs for 30, 45 or 60 days. Longer runs are a fixed multiple of the 30-day price, shown in the table on this page, and cheaper per day than posting twice.
- Can I advertise a Machine Learning role on more than one board?
- Yes. Any of the other fifteen Future Tech Jobs boards can be added to a listing for £75 each, without re-keying anything. It is only worth it where the field genuinely overlaps, and we will say when it does not.
- Is there a refund if the advert does not get applications?
- Every listing carries an application benchmark set from the role itself — pay, contract type, working pattern. Come in under it and we extend the run and re-promote the role at no charge. Listings are an instant digital service, so there is no cash refund once a post is live.
