Where to Post Your Community Job Openings
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!

The Community Roundtable
Free Facebook group: You are allowed to post job opening links in this group as long as you aren't spamming the group with too many of them. They also have a bot that will then tweet these job listings from their Twitter account.

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!
