Are you always checking offers to post a vacancy ad on national newspapers, or surfing multiple job portals in Bangladesh for the best suitable candidates? For many companies, finding the right candidate for job postings is undoubtedly a time consuming and difficult task. You can generally choose two options in Bangladesh – advertise in a renowned newspaper or post a vacancy on a good job portal.
Placing a small advertisement on the premium job posting sites costs no less than thousands. On the other hand, if you go with print media, you will have a limited duration- your ad will be published only for a day or two, depending on your payment.
Whereas free online job advertisements have two distinct advantages. Firstly they will remain on the website for a longer period of time. Secondly, you have innumerable choices to post jobs for free over these platforms.
Let’s have a look at the advantages from a close perspective.
Advantages of Free Job Posting
You can’t dispute that paying a job portal for posting your advertisement has some inherent benefits. If you’re looking for global candidates, putting ads on some top-notch websites can make it visible to thousands of job seekers all across the world. However, these job portals also offer similar benefits to post on free job boards.
Free job posting sites basically allows you to post on the same job on several websites, which increases the chances of viewing your ad by more qualified job seekers. Similarly, the application number will also get higher, and you can carefully list, interview, and hire from a wider talent pool.
Why Post Free?
Corporate industries, multinational companies, and government agencies keep a large budget for their advertisements. Therefore they can easily bear all the expenses for their job ads. But, SMEs and start-ups usually have a limited budget for advertising vacancies. Hence you can post your advertisement on some free job site.
Although there are several paid job advertisements sites in Bangladesh, here we list some of the top-most platforms that offer free job posting for both businesses and individuals.
