What is a Job Board?
A job board is an online platform where employers post job openings and job seekers search for and apply to positions. Job boards range from large generalist platforms like Indeed and LinkedIn to niche boards specialising in specific industries, roles, or demographics. Some job boards are free to post on, while others charge per listing or offer subscription models for unlimited postings.
Why it matters
Job boards remain one of the primary channels for reaching active candidates. However, not all boards are equal. The effectiveness of a job board depends on your industry, role type, location, and target candidate profile. Posting on too many boards wastes budget; posting on too few limits reach. Smart organisations track which boards actually generate qualified applicants and hires, not just clicks and applications.
