AcademicPositions

Review:

AcademicPositions provides employers with a targeted approach to hiring academics, researchers, and scientists. The platform offers multiple job posting packages and bulk discounts, as well as subscription options and employer branding solutions. However, the site lacks a free job posting option and a searchable resume CV database.

With a starting price of €490.00 per post, AcademicPostitions is a rather costly option compared to niche alternatives such as N2 Talent and EuroScienceJobs, but it offers several standout features, including a job post duration of 90 days, which may make it worth the higher price tag.

Pros:

• Employers can choose from several job posting packages as well as subscription options.
• Job listings are published for up to 90 days.
• The site offers bulk discounts.
• Employer branding options are available.
• The High Visibility and Platinum Advert options list ads toward the top of relevant search results for four weeks.
• Job ads are shared with subscribed candidates via job alert emails.
• The site has an international reach.
• With the Platinum Advert plan, job ads are prominently displayed on the home page and shared on social media.

Cons:

• There is no free job posting plan.
• The site does not feature a searchable CV database.

AcademicPositions vs. New Scientist Jobs:

With a starting price of £599.00 +VAT, New Scientist Jobs is costlier than AcademicPostitions, which has a starting price of €490.00 per post. While both sites offer a job post duration of 90 days, New Scientist Jobs also offers options for 30- and 60-day job ads. Neither site offers a searchable CV database.

AcademicPositions vs. ScienceCareers:

ScienceCareers offers features that AcademicPositions does not, such as access to a CV database. AcademicPositions, on the other hand, stands out with social media promotion. While ScienceCareers has a starting price of US$630.00 per post, AcademicPositions' pricing starts at €490.00 per post.

AcademicPositions vs. N2 Talent:

N2 Talent's prices start at £295.00 per post, which makes it more affordable than AcademicPositions' €490.00 per post. However, N2 Talent only lists job ads for 28 days, whereas AcademicPositions has a 90-day post duration. With featured ads, job email alerts, and social media promotion, AcademicPositions provides a more attractive feature profile.
