Free job posting sites allow employers to post jobs for free and still reach a large audience effectively. There are a number of truly free job boards that do not require the submission of credit card details before posting a job.

Although many sites advertise free offerings, we have found most to be just a free trial or not actually free at all. Our team frequently checks the sites we recommend to make sure they are still free and do not require payment to post a job.

How can a job board survive when it allows free job postings?

Job boards are a two-sided marketplace meaning they need to get both jobs and candidates in the same place to make money. Without jobs they have no candidates and vice versa. Free job postings attract candidates they can also direct to their paid job posting clients. Attracting businesses with free job postings is also a way for them to market their paid posting services. Indeed built a huge business off this free job posting marketing method.

Indeed, PostJobFree, and Learn4Good are among the sites that offer free job posting.
