What is Job Posting Software?

With the explosion of job boards, recruitment websites and now social media channels posting jobs to all these various channels has become increasingly difficult.

Job Posting software has answered this challenge by allowing recruiters to post their job vacancies to multiple job boards with a single click.

How does Job Posting Software work?

Manually posting jobs ads to multiple job boards and social media channels can be hugely time consuming: creating the account, posting the job, managing the applicants. And you have to do this for every advertising channel you use.

Thankfully, Job Posting software handles this laborious process and can provide enormous time savings for recruiters. With Job Posting Software a recruiter creates one job vacancy ad in one place and then, using the software, automatically distributes the job ad across multiple job boards and recruitment websites. Like most enterprise solutions nowadays, job posting software is most often provided as a software as a service.

What’s more, Job Posting software typically offers additional productivity tools for recruiters. Job Posting software can include pre-employment testing, candidate application management, CV upload and management, psychometric testing, candidate screening and, in some cases, online interviews.

With all these additional services Job Posting Software can be viewed almost as Applicant Tracking Software. And, indeed, the boundaries between the two are moveable. Most Applicant Tracking Software will include a job posting element but not all Job Posting Software includes  Applicant Tracking Software.
