Understand free and paid job board posting options in Recruiting

Describes the free and paid job board postings to promote your jobs in Recruiting.

This article is for administrators.

 

Free and paid job board postings help you promote open jobs to job seekers through external job boards. Understanding the differences between these options helps you choose the posting method that best supports your hiring goals, budget, and recruiting timeline.  

Free Job Postings 

Free job postings: 

  • Post jobs to supported job boards at no extra cost. 
  • Reach job seekers on popular job search websites.  
  • Get basic visibility for your job postings. 

Recruiting supports automatic, free posting options for Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and ZipRecruiter.   

Paid job postings: 

  • Promote jobs with sponsored or advertising services offered by job boards. 
  • Make jobs more visible than standard job postings. 
  • Help more job seekers find your jobs or see them higher in search results. 

Options depend on the job board and its services: 

How it works 

When you post a job in Recruiting, the system shares the job with supported job boards based on the options you choose. 

Free postings appear on participating job boards. Each job board has its own rules for publishing jobs. The time it takes for a job to appear and how visible it is depends on the job board.   

Paid postings use advertising or sponsorship services from the job board. The job board decides where and how the sponsored job appears based on its promotion rules and algorithms. 

Important notes 

  • Recruiting does not guarantee that a paid job posting will be successful. 
  • Each job board has its own publishing rules, review process, and advertising requirements. 
  • The time it takes for a job to appear can vary by job board.   
  • Job visibility depends on factors such as job title, location, compensation details, market demand, and competition.  
  • If a job does not appear on a job board, the board may need more time to review it, or the job may not meet the board's publishing requirements.  

Tips 

  • Start with free postings to see how much interest the job gets.   
  • Use paid postings for hard-to-fill positions or when you need to hire quickly.   
  • Check job performance regularly and make changes as needed.
