CareerOneStop

Review:

CareerOneStop is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and lists hundreds of thousands of U.S.-based jobs, offering access to comprehensive career resources. Their job listings mainly originate from the National Labor Exchange (NLx) website. All jobs are refreshed daily with current job content from employers across the country.

Pros:

• CareerOneStop features job listings from three major job boards.
• Job listings sourced from partner sites are posted free of charge.
• Job postings on the platform are updated daily.
• The site features links to inclusive employment opportunities and training programs in each state.
• Job listings are shared via Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), and LinkedIn.
• The site can be viewed in English or Spanish.

Cons:

• Employers cannot post their jobs directly on the CareerOneStop website.
• The platform only lists jobs posted on the platform's partner sites.
• The partner sites may require payment for job postings.
• All job applications are managed via the partner sites.

Reputation:

CareerOneStop has been operational since 1997 and is widely regarded as a trusted site. The Federal Trade Commission singles it out as a reliable site for job seekers. However, we were unable to find any employer reviews of the job portal.

CareerOneStop vs. USAJOBS:

CareerOneStop and USAJOBS are similar in that employers cannot post their vacancies directly on either site. USAJOBS exclusively features federal agency jobs for free, whereas CareerOneStop includes public sector jobs and payment depends on their partner sites' policies. Both have a U.S. focus and offer extensive job resources.

CareerOneStop vs. GovernmentJobs.com:

CareerOneStop and GovernmentJobs.com are similar in that they feature U.S. government and public sector jobs. Listings on CareerOneStop are sourced from partner sites and some partner listings may be free, while a single job posting on GovernmentJobs.com costs $199.00. Only GovernmentJobs.com offers access to a resume database.

CareerOneStop vs. Careers In Government:

Careers In Government matches U.S. government jobs with qualified individuals, while CareerOneStop doesn't allow direct job listing since their posts are sourced from the National Labor Exchange (NLx) and other partner sites. Some CareerOneStop partners host jobs free of charge, whereas Careers In Government's pricing starts at $275.00 per post.
