About us
Our mission is to make the move easier and simpler, by giving everyone the best place to turn to and return to for access to the tools, expertise, trust and belief to make it happen.
A great success story, we're now the biggest home-grown web brand in the UK our traffic levels surpassed only by Facebook, Google, YouTube, eBay and Amazon.
Despite this success, we remain a down-to-earth bunch. To join us in our mission, we look to recruit people who share the same values and beliefs as we've always had, because Rightmove is people. We call it the secret to our success and why staying 10 years or longer, reaching 'gnome status', is simply the Rightmove way.
We encourage and support all Rightmovers to continuously develop themselves. Together we work towards the best outcome, both in terms of our technical solutions and continued business growth. We are always on the lookout for the great new people to join our team. If you are a smart and passionate initiative-taker then get in touch. You could be part of the next chapter of the Rightmove story! Will you be 'Gnomed?'
Did you know
* Rightmove was meant to be called 'Doorknob.' But it didn't quite have the same ring to it
* We still have employee #1 working at Rightmove
* We currently have 93 gnomes on our gnome tree
