TOP 25 websites where to post developer job openings for free

Talking with our partners, we found out that many of them have difficulties to find experienced ASP.NET developers. This article should help anyone in this situation with the first step of the hiring process – promoting the job offer.  

Recruitment at Kentico software

Recently, Kentico went through the hiring process as well - we have grown by 20 employees to the current 63. Since we didn’t have good experience with the services of HR agencies in the past, we decided to carry out the whole recruitment process by ourselves. Luckily, Kentico is headquartered in Brno, which is becoming the “silicon valley” of central Europe. Three technical universities within the city are producing hundreds of young talents and companies like AVG, 2K Czech, Red Hat, IBM or Logica are attracting IT specialist from the whole region. This made it much easier for us, although the recruitment took us a lot of effort.

Free posting of job openings

Finding the right candidate for your job can be an uphill battle, shrinking your usual workload to a minimum. The very first step in making it smooth is to post your offers to a variety of websites and social networks. If you don’t mind hiring a fresh graduate, you can contact a student career center of your local college or university. Also, the informational systems of universities usually have online forums with job offers. Lastly, a printed leaflet pined on a bulletin board at a university corridor can do the job well.

If you don’t like to run into high fees with websites like Monster or CareerBuilder, you can take a look at some free job posting websites. The following checklist is intended for those who are looking for a Kentico developer and include only those services that are FREE OF CHARGE:
