5 Free Job Posting Sites Where You Can Find Real Talent

There are many ways to post job opportunities outside of paid job boards. LG Resources, MightyRecruiter, and many university job boards, among other platforms, allow you to post job opportunities online for free.

Every job posting website has advantages and disadvantages depending on what type of job you are posting about and what kind of candidate you’re looking for.

LG RESOURCES

LG Resources is a staffing agency that helps companies find job candidates throughout the U.S. While you may get more and better candidates by signing up for their paid services, you can easily post job listings for free.

THE PROS AND CONS OF POSTING JOBS ON LG RESOURCES’ JOB BOARD

LG Resources has a strong and growing pool of job seekers, so you may find a great candidate through their website without spending a dime. If you decide you are willing to spend more to find the right candidate, LG can take the pressure off by giving you access to trained recruiters who can review your applications, do initial interviews, and manage the paperwork before you are ever in contact with your potential employee.

Keep in mind that LG Resources specializes in the warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, and clerical industries. If you are looking to hire in another industry, their job board may not be the best place to post.

YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS

By posting job listings on your social media channels, you can help job seekers find your listing on their home feeds or by searching for your brand. This applies not only to professional-oriented social media sites like LinkedIn but also to services like Facebook and Twitter.

THE PROS AND CONS OF POSTING JOBS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

To effectively post your job on social media, it is vital that you continue to update and refresh your listing so that your job opportunity stays relevant.

Although this requires more work than many other job listing options, you can access your potential employees organically through their social media feeds.

MIGHTYRECRUITER

MightyRecruiter, an intuitive recruiting system, allowing users to find candidates, manage applications and effectively hire the perfect employee.

THE PROS AND CONS OF POSTING JOBS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

MightyRecruiter stands out among other free job posting sites because when you post a listing using their service, it automatically posts to the top recruiting websites, such as Monster, Indeed, and LinkedIn.

Managing all of your applications seamlessly in one place may seem more effective, but the sheer amount of applications may become overwhelming.

UNIVERSITY JOB BOARDS

If you’re looking to hire a newly graduated college student or seeking an intern for the summer, using university job boards might be the best option to find your ideal candidate.

THE PROS AND CONS OF POSTING JOBS ON UNIVERSITY JOB BOARDS

Many 4-year colleges allow students and alumni to post and search for job listings on designated boards for free. This option may help you find a great hire if you’re looking to find, for example, someone for an entry-level accounting position or a newly minted and fresh-minded scientist.

However, this option may prove to be too narrow if you’re looking to receive applications from a wider variety of candidates or for a lower-skill position.

CRAIGSLIST

Craigslist is not just for finding roommates or used furniture. The site connects a colossal number of users daily, including job seekers and employees.

THE PROS AND CONS OF POSTING JOBS ON CRAIGSLIST

Depending on your location, posting jobs on Craigslist can either be free or cost you $50-$75 per listing every 30 days. Although this is significantly cheaper than a lot of recruiting options, it may not be worth it if the right candidates don’t apply.

Craigslist almost guarantees that you’ll receive tons of applications. However, there’s no guarantee of candidate quality, so finding employees with the right qualifications and experience often proves to be difficult.

YOUR CAREER SITE OR PAGE

Posting jobs on your own career website is easy and free, but may not prove to be as fruitful as other options.

THE PROS AND CONS OF POSTING JOBS ON YOUR WEBSITE

Posting on your own website is often considered a “just-in-case” tactic. If your website isn’t SEO-optimized, job seekers will have an extremely hard time finding your listing.

Although creating a tab with your job listings on your webpage is not a complete loss, it’s usually not the most ideal way to find the right candidate in a timely manner.

RECRUIT THE PERFECT CANDIDATE USING LG RESOURCES

If you are in the manufacturing, clerical, transportation, or warehousing industry, contact LG Resources to save time and money while finding the right employees for your business. LG Resources offers everything you need to efficiently and effectively increase production, fulfillment, order selecting, and more!
