Best Place To Post Jobs
Best Place To Post A Job
- Your local university. Contact the career center and give them the job description. It's a great source for ambitious and raw talent. And usually free to post a job, although they like to charge small fees to attend a career fair. Post and watch the talented resumes flow in:)
- CareerBuilder.com. I received decent results, but a little spendy. The resume management tools are better than most sites, and sometimes they have a package deal where you can get an online and offline listing together.
- LinkedIn.com. Jobs are a fairly new feature of this social networking site, but I've had decent luck finding candidates that are one or two degrees apart from me. It pays to build out a personal network, and then see if any of their network is a good fit for your job. Linkedin wants you to pay for introductions, but with a little extra work, you can usually find someone to introduce you without paying.
- Craigslist. We posted one job listing here, it was $75 and didn't yield much, but worth a try.
- Create a Jobs page on your website. It's cheap and has paid off for us, because you'll find people that like your product.
Where do you post your open jobs?
I have had no success with Monster.com and HotJobs.
Good luck with that! :)
The best results by far are now coming from Craigslist. We are getting 100s of resumes per posting. Getting an interesting job description had a huge impact on the number of applicants on CL.
Best career platform. Thanks for sharing your views and experience.
I had great results with LinkedIn and I started using tiwork.com a few weeks ago. It's very new but it wasn't bad at all !

We've tried Monster.com and CraigsList with very mixed results. CraigsList may be great for finding and apartment, or a web designer, or a couch... but we found that 200+ non-relevant resumes made for a lot of time consuming filtering that didn't yield any candidates that could pass our 4-stage testing gauntlet!
