Where to Post Your Community Job Openings
**THE MOST UPDATED VERSION OF THIS POST CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE.**
*This post was last updated on March 29, 2023.*
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 (that I keep copying and pasting) into an article for all of you to benefit from. The best part…most of these are FREE!
This article has been updated and broken into three parts:
Links/Sites to post jobs
More Helpful Links for Hiring Managers
Helpful Links for Job Seekers

Platform Partners
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!
