Craigslist is a bit sketchy to say the least, but they do have some legitimate job postings. Just be sure to do your due deligence and research about the job to make sure it is not a scam.
Before you post a job on the site, you need to set up a Craigslist account. Setting up an account gives you a way to pay for U.S. job ads and lets you revise or update posts. Accounts are free and can be created with your email address and a password.
Wait up to an hour for your job post to show up in the listings. Be sure to frequently check the email address that you used in the listing for any job applicant communications. You can also work with your applicant tracking system (ATS) to reply to and follow up with relevant applications.
If you find that you are getting too many low-quality applicants, it may be that your job is not well-suited for Craigslist. You should then consider another platform, like Facebook or LinkedIn, or job boards.
The cost for a job posting ranges, depending on the area you are targeting. This fee ranges from $10 to $75. This is a flat fee that covers your listing, regardless of how it performs. You do not pay extra for high-performing ads, for example.
All U.S. cities have a fee, but it ranges by location. Expect to pay near the low end of the range for less competitive cities, and more for those cities where there is high demand such as San Francisco, Calif. The cost is currently $10 to $75 per listing.
Craigslist usually encourages posters to make no more than one listing per city every 48 hours, but there may be additional restrictions. If they see spammy-looking posts or too many similar posts in the same city at the same time, they could block or suspend posts. Make sure your posts are uniquely worded, and follow the rules to keep your posts available to job-seekers.
Posting to other countries is as easy as posting domestically. Just go to the site for the country you wish to post to at www.craigslist.org/about/sites. This most likely will be free, but be sure your job is something that can be done in the country you are advertising in or is appropriate for someone who can do the work remotely.
