What to expect when posting jobs on Craigslist

February 24, 2023 dstribute.io Job Distribution Software
What to expect when posting jobs on Craigslist

Craigslist has swiftly emerged as an excellent source for companies to advertise job openings for free and locate exceptional talents. The website now operates in about 70 countries and receives more than 20 billion views annually and 80 million new ads monthly. This has made Craigslist an indispensable component in almost every hiring process, both for small and large businesses. The website also offers employers a chance to recruit all kinds of workers, full-time, freelance, or even seasonal.

So, whenever there is a position vacant in your company, it is natural for you to think about posting a job ad on Craigslist. Creating job listings can be a bit difficult, tedious, and even time-consuming. People may even have to spend a lot of time crafting the perfect ad to create the best initial impression on prospective candidates. However, the more tedious part of hiring through Craigslist can come after the job posting is done, when you start to receive applications from different candidates. Though hiring from any platform can be overwhelming and time-consuming, there are some things employers can expect when preparing to hire through Craigslist.

A huge number of applicants

If you are hiring for a seasonal, full-time, or freelance position open in your company through Craigslist, you can expect applications from a large number of potential candidates. Though going through such a huge application mound may seem monotonous and exhausting, it also gives you a lot of choices. You will be able to carefully choose a candidate who fits almost all of your criteria, and you need to interview only those who have piqued your interest. One small downside to the many applications you will receive is that some of them may be from unqualified individuals. This typically happens when you are advertising for a position that requires a specialized degree.

Little to no cost

Posting vacancies on job boards typically costs money, especially if employers want their ads to be featured and want premium services. For Craigslist, posting jobs does not cost much for a hiring manager. In fact, the most expensive it can get is around $75. The website also does not need job postings to come with any paid advertisements. This reduces the overall cost of the hiring process.

Beware of scams

Just like any other online hiring platform, employers should be very careful during the hiring process to avoid scammers and spammers. If you give out your personal details in the job posting, you can expect your inbox to be filled with spam mail or emails from relentless marketers. You may even receive emails from scammers pretending to be recruiters with apparently excellent candidates perfect for your position. This issue can be easily avoided by giving your details to Craigslist so that they can relay any updates or messages to you. In this way, you can have peace of mind through the entire hiring process.

Hiring through Craigslist is one of the best and most cost-effective ways to hire potential talent for an open position at your company. You will be able to hire talent worldwide using this platform. Check out how Dstribute handles high-volume job posting on Craigslist.

Fantastic product. Bruce and his team are amazing. My experience has been smooth throughout and exceeded expectations greatly. It's great to use a product that just immediately works, plus having the team so easily reachable. I've recommended this to friends and will continue to do so

We’ve been using Dstribute as one of our recruitment channels, and overall, it’s been a great experience. Initially, we faced some issues with job postings, but Bruce and his team were incredibly patient and persistent in resolving them, even after multiple attempts. Their support was top-notch.

The platform itself is excellent—easy to use, effective, and very reasonably priced. It has been a valuable addition to our hiring process. Definitely recommend Dstribute to anyone looking for a solid recruitment solution!
Jamen Griffith
Dstribute has been a great investment for our company as it has not only brought in a strong, steady flow of candidates to our ATS on a daily basis, but it has an incredibly friendly and easy to use interface, ultimately making it a significant time saver. If you are searching around for a multi-poster to add to your recruitment company, I would look no further and reach out to Bruce at dstribute. You won't be disappointed.
