Indeed
If you've ever looked for a job online, you are probably familiar with Indeed. The reality about this site is that it's:- Huge
- Available in over 50 countries worldwide
- Also one of the more straightforward job websites out there
Employers can post jobs for free, as well as oversee candidates and arrange interviews from your Indeed account.
Glassdoor
In many ways, Glassdoor is like a beefed-up Indeed. As of February 2020), it has 67 million monthly users (huge but still fairly meager compared to Indeed's 250 million unique monthly visitors. Glassdoor offers lots of useful features, including a handy job map tool and an entire section dedicated to insight and reviews from both current and former employees. The aforementioned job map tool allows employers to post jobs that are visible to job seekers on a much grander scale. In terms of its features and offerings, it is easily one of the more robust recruiting websites out there.AngelList
AngelList may not boast Indeed's crazy numbers or have the unique features that Glassdoor boasts, but it is a trusted resource for employers – particularly those operating in the tech space. The website was founded in 2010, its goal being the democratization of how startups are funded and how talent acquisition at those startups works. Feature-wise, it isn't super different from anything else on this list. However, massive companies like Spotify and Slack trust AngelList for its transparency and extraordinary decision to give job seekers direct access to CEOs and other high-level managers.Scouted
Scouted is much newer than many of the other sites on this list. Founded in 2015 and acquired by Recruiter.com in 2021, Scouted is unique because it uses different metrics for evaluating candidates. Scouted takes personal qualities into account rather than running through a checklist of:- Skills
- Experience
- Education
ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter is excellent. It's popular among both employers and their candidates, and it's on par with Indeed in terms of accessibility and ease of use (it's all in the name, after all). But what elevates it above other recruiting websites is its monthly payment plans. For companies needing to post jobs regularly, ZipRecruiter is absolutely one of the best options.Monster
A recruiting website dating back to 1994, Monster is notable because it predates Indeed and Glassdoor by over a decade. It doesn't get the traffic or the application numbers that its sister sites enjoy, but it does cater to employers in many different industries seeking applicants at all levels. Monster is:- Free
- Quick
- Easy to sign up for
FlexJobs
FlexJobs is the go-to job website for people looking for remote work. It's a "newer" site, having been founded in 2007. If you routinely fill remote positions or are looking to make that the case, this site may be immensely helpful for you and your company. FlexJobs isn't free, but unlike other job boards, a $49.95 yearly subscription is worth it.Snagajob
Snagajob is excellent for employers looking to hire hourly employees. Like Indeed, it's got a welcoming interface. It also boasts a community of over 700,000 employers and roughly 100 million job seekers. Snagajob is free to use and offers job listings in a broad range of industries.Getwork
Originally known as LinkUp, GetWork was founded in 2000 and relies on its proprietary technology to curate the best jobs in any given industry. Because it updates job postings every 24 hours, it's a great way to get your posts up there quickly and get applications faster. For potential candidates or just casual job seekers, Getwork is completely free and can be browsed without an account. However, they make it worthwhile to register for an account by giving you access to your job search history and other time-saving information.Do your research
Where you post your job opportunities matters. As this list makes clear, the volume, quality, and interests of applicants vary greatly depending on where you decide to offer open positions. Different industries prefer different job boards, so do your research before you put your opportunities out there. It could mean the difference between getting a ton of qualified candidates or a lackluster talent pool.This article is for informational purposes only, is not legal, tax or accounting advice, and is not an offer to sell, buy or procure insurance.
