PostJobFree

Review:

Although based in Florida, PostJobFree's reach extends into Canada and across the world. The site provides access to thousands of Canadian jobs and attracts scores of job seekers every month. Employers seeking to attract job seekers from around the world to positions in Canada should consider this site.

PostJobFree is a good option for Canadian employers to post globally promoted jobs. PostJobFree and local boards like Job Bank all offer free job postings. Eluta.ca's locally promoted post costs that start at C$199.00 are more expensive than PostJobFree's locally and internationally-promoted job prices that start at US$29.00.

Pros:

• The platform connects Canadian employers with millions of local and global applicants.
• Employers can choose between free or paid job listings and resume search membership plans.
• Job posts are syndicated to major job boards.
• Canada-based employers get access to a large searchable resume database.
• Employers receive resume search alerts that match their hiring needs.
• Applicant tracking system (ATS) and job feed integration via XML are available.
• Video tutorials are offered on how to use the site.

Cons:

• The best job posting results are seen with their paid, premium membership plans (this is not evident at the outset).
• Prices are only quoted in U.S. dollars.
• In order to view full candidate profiles (including contact details), employers will have to upgrade to the paid versions.
• The respective paid membership plans restrict the number of resume contacts to varying degrees.
• Employer branding options are only available on paid membership plans.
• The website's no-frills design may appear to be "spammy" and untrustworthy, detracting from its ease of use and convenience.
• Customer support services to Canadian users are only available during U.S. business hours.
• The site is only available in English, so French-Canadian users cannot opt for a French version.

Reputation:

We found over a dozen reviews on Sitejabber, which resulted in a 2.8 out of 5-star rating. While the positive reviews complimented the site's affordability and fast service, most of the negative reviews were posted by job seekers who claimed their resumes were uploaded on the site without permission.

PostJobFree vs. Indeed:

PostJobFree and Indeed are similar in that they both offer global reach and free standard job posting options. PostJobFree's promoted adverts are priced anywhere between US$29.00 and US$399.00 per month, whereas Indeed allows sponsoring your job listing with your own custom budget.

PostJobFree vs. Job Bank:

PostJobFree features a global job search engine and aggregates job posts to major job boards, while Job Bank is Canada’s national employment service job site. PostJobFree allows free standard job posts but promoted job prices start at US$29.00 per month. Canadian employers can post their jobs for free on Job Bank but jobs are limited to local applicants.

PostJobFree vs. Eluta.ca:

PostJobFree has a global reach and offers Canadian job searches by location, while Eluta.ca has a dedicated local focus. PostJobFree aggregates job posts to major job boards, while Eluta.ca displays jobs sourced from employers' career portals. Both offer free and paid promoted job listing options.
