Review:

Founded in 2006, Locanto Jobs has become a popular classifieds website for employers to advertise vacancies and connect with local candidates in the U.S. The platform offers a free job posting service, as well as paid upgrades for increased exposure. U.S. job seekers can filter jobs by type and location to connect with local employers.

While Locanto is not a traditional job board and lacks certain hiring services, it's a good option for local employers looking to maximize their listing's exposure at affordable rates. However, job ads may get lost amid the other products and services listings on the site.

Pros:

  • The site offers a free job posting service.
  • Locanto Jobs gives U.S. employers a budget-friendly approach to finding and hiring talent.
  • The platform's top job categories include finance, administration, transportation, education, law, and healthcare.
  • Employers can upgrade their listing to appear at the top of users’ search results or their ad gallery.
  • The "Premium Ad" option highlights the listing, gives it a "Premium" badge, and removes third-party advertisements.
  • Job seekers can filter vacancies by job type and location to connect with local employers.
  • The platform features a dedicated U.S. website.
  • Locanto Jobs gives companies access to both local and international candidates.
  • The site is mobile-optimized.

Cons:

  • Locanto is not a traditional job board, which might deter job seekers from visiting the site.
  • The platform does not share listings to social media channels.
  • Vacancies aren't distributed to other job boards.
  • There is no resume database available.
  • The site makes no mention of advanced hiring tools, such as candidate matching or applicant tracking.

Reputation:

While we were unable to find any online reviews of Locanto's job posting services, the website has a 2.3-star rating based on over 190 reviews on Sitejabber. Most users warned against potential scam accounts on the site.

On Trustpilot, Locanto has a 3.1-star rating based on more than 50 reviews. Around 60% of users rate the site as "Bad," while just over 30% rate it as "Excellent."

Pricing:

Locanto Jobs allows employers to post standard job ads for free. The platform also offers a number of premium ads for increased exposure, as well as a premium account option.

Locanto Jobs vs. Gumtree Jobs:

Gumtree Jobs and Locanto are similar classifieds websites that employers can use to advertise vacancies. Gumtree Jobs stands out as the more feature-rich recruitment platform, offering employer branding, a dedicated account manager, and an applicant tracking system, which Locanto Jobs lacks. However, Locanto Jobs features more local listings.

Locanto Jobs vs. Craigslist:

Like Locanto Jobs, Craigslist allows users to advertise a range of products and services, as well as job vacancies. Craigslist's pricing varies between $10.00 and $75.00 per job post, in most regions. By contrast, Locanto Jobs offers both free and paid job posting options, making it the budget-friendly choice for employers.

Locanto Jobs vs. Indeed:

Indeed is one of the world's largest job boards and features advanced recruitment features, such as built-in skills assessments, flexible budgets, and a resume database — tools that Locanto Jobs lacks. Unlike Locanto Jobs, Indeed is exclusively a job board, offering employers access to a more targeted audience of job seekers.
