It's a scam website. They just want your CV for the personal details that it contains.

If you must apply, either because your Job Centre advisor insists or you need to hit your job applications target for the week and you can't find anything else, then charge your name, address and phone number on your uploaded CV. You might also want to give a false email address as well in case they decide to innundate your inbox with spam..

Seriously, don't bother doing that, just write in your little grey booklet (or however you record your 'evidence') that you have applied. All you have to say is ' Applied via searchjobvacancies website, contact info and CV submitted'.
There is no way for JC to check.
They don't send a confirmation email, and as AP007 has pointed out, they won't contact you even if you request it.
I could (I don't) quite easily satisfy my JSAg just with searchjobvacancies rubbish.

It's a waste of time complaining to UJM.

The scam recruitment agencies always offer far in excess of the NMW but I found one vacancy, where the scammer hadn't done his sums properly, which was paying £5.77 an hour. When I complained to UJM they sent an automated email saying they check all jobs before they're listed.

In my opinion, if you want to expose UJM scammers the best place to do it is on MSE because this site features very highly on Google and other search engine listings. I always give them an untrustworthy rating with back-up comment on Web of Trust as well.
