Be accurate and specific
Craigslist is one of the most popular tools that you can use to grow your business. Being the largest online classified ad section in the world, there are almost 60 million Craigslist users today, with about 50 billion page views every month. That means to ensure that your Craigslist job listing gets the most views, you need to be methodical and strategic about how you publish a post.
Publishing a job on Craigslist is pretty straightforward. Start by creating an account using your email address and password. Set the location for where your candidates will be placed. Pick a category for the type of job you are posting. You can make your listing stand out by posting it in a category indirectly connected to the actual role but with fewer job posts altogether. As many viewers do not scroll beyond the initial pages, having your listing on the first page within a category will likely attract more views.
Next, write a description of the position and include interesting details about your organization. As many part-time workers look for jobs closer to their homes, make sure to include your business address on the map. Give your posting a final review and ensure that there are no errors before clicking the “publish” button.
Number of allowed posts
Typically, Craigslist allows users to post one job per city every 48 hours. Sometimes, there may be more restrictions on the number of job postings allowed per user. For instance, if some posts seem to be spam or if there are multiple posts in the same location at the same time, your posts could get blocked. Ensure that you follow proper grammatical structures and write unique job descriptions to avoid being mistaken for spam.
Fees for Craigslist job posts
Craigslist requires you to pay a certain fee for posting jobs. The exact cost of a posting varies between $10 and $75 based on the area that you are concentrating on. This fee covers all services, including high-performing ads. The only exception might be a tax which you might pay based on your location. Usually, Craigslist charges a higher service fee for postings in cities like San Francisco or New York City that have a higher demand for jobs.
It is typically not possible to post a job on Craigslist for free. However, you might be able to do so for an overseas posting. To know whether your listing would qualify for zero fees, you need to open an account and create a job listing.
Posting roles located in other countries
You can post a Craigslist job-based in another country. Visit the Craigslist website and find the country where you wish to post a job. Then, create a listing in the same manner as you would for a job within the US.
