ExecThread

Review:

ExecThread is a global job posting site that advertises senior-level positions with a compensation of more than $100K. Founded in 2015, the platform is well-established and aims to connect employers with talented professionals in the U.S. and elsewhere in search of an executive-level career opportunity.

Compared to other leading executive job boards, ExecThread is well-priced and offers a standard range of recruitment services, such as employer branding options and sponsored job postings for increased exposure.

Pros:

• ExecThread targets a highly defined audience of candidates suitable for executive-level positions, such as board directors.
• The site has several job posting options available, including a basic free listing.
• The Premium package allows employers to add their job posts to the site's weekly newsletter.
• Employers can keep their company name, compensation, and contact information confidential on job posts.
• Job posts are live for 90 days.

Cons:

• Employers can only post director-level or above jobs with a compensation of more than $100,000.
• Company branding is not available on the Basic package.
• The platform does not offer social media promotion services.
• The site does not feature any applicant management tools.
• Employers must have a LinkedIn profile to sign up for the service.

ExecThread vs. ExecuNet:

ExecuNet is a job board that serves the global general job market at all career levels. While ExecThread also advertises jobs from all industries worldwide, they are more niche, as they only post jobs for senior-level professionals who earn above $100,000 and therefore might be a better option for employers in search of specialized candidates.

ExecThread vs. Ladders:

Like ExecThread, Ladders caters to employers in search of management and executive-level professionals. ExecThreat offers a free plan as well as paid plans from $299.00 per post. Ladders has separate paid plans for job posting and resume access. A single job post on Ladders costs $599.00, making it the more costly option.

ExecThread vs. LinkedIn:

Unlike ExecThread, LinkedIn is not a niche job board but a social networking platform for professionals that also serves as an exceptionally large candidate database. Employers can search and reach far more candidates using LinkedIn's recruitment tools than by posting a job on ExecThread.
