Review:

PublishingCrossing is a niche job portal that attracts job seekers with an extensive range of listings and offers employers a selection of hiring tools to help them find candidates fast. Employers can choose from a variety of plans designed for different hiring needs and explore the site's features during a 14-day free trial.

The site offers a free plan, which is budget-friendly but has limited features. While the paid plans include a more attractive feature profile, including resume database access, they have a rather steep starting price.

  • There is a free job posting option.
  • All paid plans include access to the platform's resume database.
  • Annual plans include two free months.

  • Job posts get distributed across more than 600 job boards.
  • Employers can create multiple user accounts.
  • The site features candidate management tools.
  • Employers can create profile pages to aid recognition.

Cons:

  • Free listings are only visible to paid members of EmploymentCrossing.
