Introduction

Although posting jobs on a targeted-audience website is often more effective, it does tend to be a bit costly. When you need to watch your budget, or if your job opening might not require advanced skills, consider the free posting sites. There are several sites on the Web where you can post job openings for free. Some of them are noted below. We have not included regional sites, although some do exist. A simple search will find them for you if you're interested.

It links 1,800 state Employment Service offices and provides job seekers with more than 100,000 active job opportunities. Registration is required and takes about 3 days for AJB to process. But, then you may post jobs free of charge. Registration is limited to U.S. employers, employment agencies, or other organizations that offer jobs and do not charge job seekers. Each job order you have needs to be posted separately. If you also want your company's name to be listed as one who has jobs to offer, there's a separate form to be filled out.
