Pricing:

Gumtree is free to use for selling and buying goods and services but to advertise jobs costs between £4.95 and £92.99 in the U.K. or up to AUS$119 in Australia. Gumtree in Australia has a free option that is worth exploring. There is no pricing information in U.S. dollars.

Review:

Gumtree is great for hiring people living in the U.K. It attracts a million job seekers every month and is cheaper to use than other popular local job boards like Totaljobs, reed.co.uk, and CV-Library. The platform has a built-in applicant tracking system, has 35 job categories for employers to advertise in, and offers email and phone support. Almost 95% of web traffic to Gumtree.com is from the U.K.

Gumtree is an excellent alternative to other sites such as Indeed, Locanto, and Jora for hiring people living in Australia. Millions of job seekers visit the site every month. The platform has a built-in applicant tracking system, dedicated account manager, third-party posting, and dozens of job categories.

However, other job boards offer far more features such as candidate matching, screening, and access to a resume database. And if you need to reach an international audience, there are better options than Gumtree.

Reviews of the platform are largely negative but these have mostly to do with buying and selling goods.

Reputation:

There are thousands of reviews of Gumtree on Trustpilot and just over half of them are positive and about a third are negative, but they deal mostly with buying and selling goods on the platform, not with advertising jobs. We were unable to find any independent online reviews of Gumtree as a job board.

Gumtree vs. Indeed:

Indeed is the better option for reaching an international audience. If you need candidate screening and access to a database of resumes, Indeed is the way. If you need to reach local audiences in Australia and the U.K. then Gumtree is a better option.

Gumtree vs. Craigslist:

Craigslist is the far better option for hiring locally, and it is worth exploring for hiring in the U.K. and Australia. The London Craigslist jobs section is fairly busy. Gumtree is more established in Australia and the U.K. and will reach more people in those regions.

Gumtree vs. LinkedIn:

LinkedIn is the go-to platform for hiring today. It offers a number of options, reaching millions of professionals, and is trusted worldwide. Gumtree is also good for reaching people in the U.K. and Australia, but not the U.S. So, LinkedIn might be the better, more practical option.
