Expanding Your Search For Job Postings

May 14, 2010 Posted By: Trevor Wilson Category: Job Postings


It’s no wonder that with the current state of the economy, companies are constantly looking for ways to cut costs. Reducing expenditures is a current priority for most businesses and impacts job advertising budgets. Did you know that it can cost up to $395 to post a position on a site like Monster.com? Given the substantial costs associated with posting online, many companies are resorting to sources that offer free job advertising including:

College Career Centers

One incentive for companies to post on college career centre sites is that it is a great way to attract young, hard working staff and connect with future employees where they are (on campus).

Company Websites and Social Networking Profiles

Most businesses that are hiring will likely have policies that include posting vacancies on the company website and social networks. These are beneficial in terms of reaching out to potential candidates that have already expressed an interest in the employer.

Industry Newsletters

Leaders in any field are often members of industry newsletters and may find it appealing to recruit team members that are associated with the sector and are up to date on the latest news and current events.

Since it doesn’t seem like the economy is going to recover any time soon, it might make sense to expand your search to free of charge sites as they are an attractive option for businesses looking to save hundreds of dollars per posting.
