How to post a job online for free — and actually reach candidates
No credit card, no sales call, no seat minimums. Post a job in the next five minutes and it's immediately visible to real candidates — plus AI-matched to anyone whose profile fits, whether or not they were searching that day.
The 5-step process
1. Create your free account
One click — the same login system your future candidates already use. No credit card, no sales call required to get started.
2. Set up your company workspace
Name your company and you're in. This is a one-field form — you can invite teammates as recruiters or additional admins any time afterward.
3. Write your job posting
Title, description, seniority, location, remote preference, salary range, and required skills. It saves as a draft first, so you can review before it's visible to anyone.
4. Publish it
One click moves it from draft to live. It appears on the public job board immediately, and any candidate with a matching job alert gets notified right away.
5. Let AI matching do the first pass
Run AI scoring against your published job and every candidate gets ranked by fit, with the evidence and gaps behind each score — instead of you reading a hundred CVs cold.
What makes a job posting actually convert
A job posting is competing for a candidate's attention against every other posting they've seen that day — small details make a real difference in whether a qualified person applies:
- A specific, real title — "Senior Backend Engineer" outperforms "Rockstar Ninja Developer" every time; candidates search for the role they actually do, not a personality descriptor
- An honest salary range — postings with disclosed compensation get meaningfully more qualified applicants than ones that omit it entirely
- A short, scannable requirements list — five real must-haves beat fifteen "nice to haves" that quietly discourage qualified candidates from applying
- A clear remote/hybrid/onsite preference set explicitly — this is one of the first filters candidates use, and leaving it blank costs you applicants who assumed the answer was "no"
What happens the moment you hit publish
Publishing isn't just a status flag — it triggers three things at once. Your posting goes live on the public job board where any job seeker can find and apply to it. It becomes eligible for AI matching, so candidates with a published profile that fits your requirements can be scored and surfaced to you even before they've applied. And any candidate who's set up a job alert matching your role's seniority, location, or keywords gets notified immediately — so your posting reaches its most relevant audience in the first hour, not gradually over weeks.
That's the core difference between "posted somewhere" and "actually reached candidates": distribution that happens automatically the moment you publish, not distribution you have to go generate yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free to post a job?
Yes — creating a company workspace and posting jobs costs nothing, with no seat minimums or contract required. You can publish, receive applications, message candidates, and run AI matching without paying anything to get started.
How long does it take to post a job?
A few minutes for the posting itself — the form asks for title, description, seniority, location, remote preference, salary, and skills. It saves as a draft you can edit before publishing, so there's no pressure to get everything perfect on the first pass.
Where does my job posting actually appear?
On the public job board, visible to any job seeker browsing or searching, and immediately eligible for AI job matching — so candidates whose profiles fit your requirements can be notified even if they weren't actively searching that day.
Can I edit a job after I've published it?
Yes, you can update the title, description, requirements, and compensation at any time from your job's detail page, and close it whenever you've filled the role or want to stop receiving applications.
What happens to applications once they come in?
Each applicant appears on your job's dashboard with an AI fit score once you run matching, and you can move them through your pipeline — applied, screening, interview, offer, hired — message them directly, and propose interview times, all from the same screen.
Do I need a company website or existing employer brand?
No — your company workspace here is independent of anything else. A one-person startup and an established company post jobs through the exact same flow.
