15 Job Board Alternatives to Indeed
I wrote this article because we needed to drive organic visits and conversions to our marketplace listings. Articles about alternatives to the main players dominate SERPS and drive social referrals. I went deep with this article, finding job boards for many niche categories, including:
Job boards for recent college grads
Job boards for tech roles
Data + Analytics job boards
Boards for remote jobs only
It is currently our second-most popular organic article. It has resulted in a 16.48% CTR to the marketplace and a conversion rate of 3.15%.
With over 350 million unique visitors on Indeed every month, it’s no wonder that employers view it as one of the most popular job boards on the web today. Indeed’s simplistic design and large applicant pool make it an appealing option for employers, but the site isn’t free from its faults.
For one, Indeed’s large reach doesn’t necessarily lead to better-qualified applicants: the job searching site is most popularly used for entry-level and lower-level positions. If you work in the healthcare industry or you’re trying to hire for an administrative role, you might have great luck with Indeed! But if you’re searching for more specialized talent or looking for an executive candidate, this job board might not be the best place to start.
Recent TrustRadius reviews from recruiting professionals note Indeed’s search capabilities and applicant dashboards that don’t prioritize critical information. If you have limited resources, other alternatives will save you team time when it comes to filling your next roles. It could lead to even more work—with more resumes to sift through and no choice but to do it all through manual screening.
Whether you aren’t having luck on Indeed or want to start experimenting with other options, we’ve researched and compiled 15 of the best job-searching sites that aren’t Indeed. If you’re looking to hire your next data scientist or you need to find a new SVP, these Indeed alternatives are guaranteed to save your team time, money and resources while candidate sourcing.
