A popular question I’m hearing from a lot from my clients and friends in the field is, “Where will I get the most visibility posting my community job listing?” So I turned this email into an article for all of you to benefit from. The best part…most of these are FREE!
This article is broken into three parts:
Links/Sites to post and find jobs

Sometimes your platform partner offers a special jobs posting area. This could be most beneficial if you are seeking someone who already knows that particular platform. (Example, here is the job board that Khoros hosts in its community.) Check with your partner to see how they may be able to help you spread the word!
