You can post jobs for free on several high-traffic job boards and some tools that syndicate your listing to many sites at once. The best option depends on whether you want local, remote, tech, or student candidates.
Major general job boards
- Indeed allows completely free job postings with the option to pay to boost visibility, and it is one of the highest-traffic job sites globally.
- LinkedIn lets you post a limited number of free jobs, plus you can manually reach out to candidates via search and your network.
- Google for Jobs shows your roles in search results if you post on job boards that Google indexes or structure your own careers page correctly.
Niche and startup-focused sites
- Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) offers free postings aimed at startups and tech talent, with optional paid tools for deeper candidate access.
- Hubstaff Talent is completely free and focuses on remote and freelance roles, and it can also distribute your listing to other sites.
- Handshake connects you to students and recent graduates from many universities and supports free employer job posts.
Free job-posting aggregators and smaller boards
- PostJobFree, Jobisite, Jobvertise, and Job Spider all let you post jobs at no cost, often with optional paid upgrades for more visibility or contact info access.
- Jora and SimplyHired let you post for free and act as aggregators, pushing your jobs to a wider audience without upfront cost.
Multi-site distribution tools
- Recooty offers a free trial that sends a single job post to over 250 free job boards, including Indeed, LinkedIn, and Google Jobs.
- Workable and similar applicant tracking tools often include a short free trial that posts your job to multiple free boards with one click, which is useful if you are hiring intensively for a brief period.
How to choose where to post

- For startups/tech: add Wellfound and possibly SimplyHired or Jora.
