Pay Per Click and Pay Per Lead Job Postings

Since job boards essentially came into existence 14 years ago, the pricing model has overwhelmingly been a flat rate for a specified period of time. For example, we charge $175 for a job posting ad for 60 days. Many sites charge more and many sites charge less.

Vertical job search engines such as Indeed and SimplyHired should take a bow as they have been instrumental in educating the recruiting industry that there is a better way to pay for advertising than on a flat rate basis. The job board industry loves flat rate because the clients assume all of the risk if the postings don't work. But what is in the best interests of the client is also in the best interests of the job board so we're excited to announce that we've become one of the first premium job boards to allow clients to post jobs on a pay per click or pay per lead basis.

Rather than paying the standard $175 for a job posting for 60 days regardless of how many candidates respond, our clients will now have the option of paying $0.50 per click and we will guarantee that 350 candidates will click on the apply button to go to the web site of the client or to our application page, whichever the client prefers.

If the client prefers to shift even more of the risk to CollegeRecruiter.com, they can pay $5 per lead (resume / application) and we will guarantee that 35 candidates will apply to the job on our application page.
