Free job-listing options to evaluate
Start with the channel’s actual eligibility rules.
These are examples for your shortlist. Direct posting options do not guarantee that the same terms or channels are available through an ATS integration.
Indeed
Eligible employers may be able to publish a limited number of jobs without sponsorship. Check the rules for your account, country and vacancy; some jobs require sponsorship.
Eligible members can publish a free job with limits on active listings, duration and applications. Promotion is a separate paid option. Review the current rules before relying on continued visibility.
Google job search
Jobs on your own careers site can be eligible to appear in Google’s job-search experience when the pages and job-posting structured data meet its requirements. This is discovery through search, not a direct job-board posting service.
Job-board availability depends on each channel’s policies, geography, employer account and listing eligibility. Sponsored advertising is separate from the CVViZ trial.
Choose channels with intent
The best job site depends on the role, location and candidate market.
There is no single best free job posting site for every vacancy. A high-volume frontline role, a specialist engineering position, and a local operations hire need different distribution choices. Start with where qualified candidates are likely to search, then track what each source actually produces.
CVViZ helps employers take jobs to the candidates while keeping applications and source data connected. Select the supported channels that fit the opening, publish the job, and manage the resulting applicant flow without separate spreadsheets or inboxes.
Evaluate a job board before you post
Role fit
Does the board attract people with the skills and seniority this position needs?
Location reach
Can it reach candidates in the country, city or remote market where you can hire?
Application quality
Measure qualified applicants and progression, not application volume alone.
Operational fit
Check eligibility, posting rules, refresh limits and how applicants enter your workflow.
A practical employer scorecard
Decide where to post using evidence your hiring team can use.
Free reach is useful when it delivers relevant applicants and keeps the hiring process manageable. Use these criteria to compare general, specialist, local and diversity-focused channels.
Candidate relevance
Review how well applicant experience, skills and availability match the role instead of treating every application as equal.
Geographic coverage
Confirm that the channel serves your hiring location and supports the employment model you are offering.
Time to useful applications
Track how quickly a source produces candidates your team would realistically advance.
Applicant experience
Check the application path on mobile, the information requested, and whether candidates receive clear communication.
Source performance
Compare applicants, qualified candidates, interviews and hires by source so future choices improve.
Terms and eligibility
Free listings may depend on board policies, role type, location and account eligibility. Confirm current rules before relying on a channel.

Frequently asked questions
What employers ask before posting jobs for free.
A free job posting site allows an eligible employer to publish a vacancy without paying for the basic listing. Reach, duration, role eligibility, ranking and optional promotion vary by provider. Always review the job board's current policy for your country and role.
The best choice depends on the role, location, seniority and candidate audience. Compare sources using qualified applicants, interview progression and hires instead of total applications alone.
CVViZ supports job distribution from one hiring workflow. You choose the available channels that fit the vacancy, subject to each job board's policies and eligibility requirements.
Applications can enter a shared recruiting workflow where your team reviews resumes, screening answers, source information, communication and stage history in one place.
CVViZ evaluates a resume against the job context and provides a match score with an explanation and supporting evidence. It helps teams prioritize review; recruiters and hiring managers remain responsible for every decision.
No. AI-assisted scores and explanations support review. Your hiring team evaluates the evidence, considers the full candidate context and decides who advances.
That depends on the vacancy. Free channels can be effective for broad or repeat hiring, while specialist, local or paid channels may suit roles with a narrower audience. A mixed approach works best when source performance guides the choice.
Yes. CVViZ offers a 7-day free trial to evaluate applicant tracking, AI screening and your team’s recruiting workflow.
No. Sponsored job-board advertising is separate from the CVViZ trial. Board eligibility, availability and advertising terms depend on the channel.
