Peak Freelance

Review:

Peak Freelance provides employers with a user-friendly job posting process and various posting plans to choose from, which include social media promotion and featured placements on the job board. The top-tier package also offers newsletter advertising for added visibility.

Compared to some alternative job portals, such as Superpath, the job board is a cost-effective solution for employers in search of skilled freelance writers, editors, and content strategists both locally and internationally. However, it lacks certain key hiring tools, such as resume searches and job ad distribution.

Pros:

• Peak Freelance gives employers access to a highly defined network of freelance writing professionals in the U.S. and abroad.
• Listings can be live for either 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on the package chosen.
• The job board features a quick and easy job posting process.
• Vacancies are promoted on the site's social media pages and shared with its Slack community for increased exposure.
• The Silver package adds job posts to Peak Freelance's home page for added visibility.
• The Gold plan shares listings via the job board's newsletter, which has more than 3,500 subscribers.

Cons:

• Unlike some competitors, Peak Freelance does not offer a free job posting plan.
• The job board lacks access to a resume database, an applicant tracking system, and candidate matching tools.
• Vacancies aren't distributed to other job boards.

Peak Freelance vs. Superpath Job Board:

Peak Freelance and Superpath both offer featured listings and social media promotion, but only the latter allows employers to add a video Q&A to their listings to better connect with freelance writing talent. However, Peak Freelance is the more affordable option, charging $99.00 per post, while Superpath charges $299.00 per post.

Peak Freelance vs. Freelance Writing Job Board:

While Peak Freelance only has paid posting plans that start at $99.00 per post, Freelance Writing Job Board is a free job posting site, which may be the better choice for employers on a tight budget. However, Peak Freelance is slightly more feature-rich, with social media promotion and featured listing placements.

Peak Freelance vs. LinkedIn:

LinkedIn is a professional social network that lists a wide range of general vacancies, including freelance roles. By contrast, Peak Freelance gives employers a more targeted approach to hiring freelance writers and editors. While the latter charges $99.00 per post, LinkedIn has a free job posting option, making it the more cost-effective choice.
